DESCRIPTION
Antique 20th Century English Gaff Cutter pond yacht, resting on wooden frame. A stunning example of British yacht pond racing and would have been used to raced against similar yachts in competitions, club against club, all over Britain, sometimes against overseas clubs as well. Just like in real sailing competitions, to make things equal in the race, waterlines had to be the same length, plus overall area of the sails needed to be the same. Today these pond yachts are extremely decorative and a great addition to any stylish home. This particular yacht is particularly large, measuring nearly two meters in length.
