HERE IS AN ANTIQUE TOY SAILING POND BOAT THAT WAS HOME BUILT BACK IN THE DAY WHEN EXTRA MONEY WAS SCARCE SO FATHERS AND THEIR FATHERS MADE TOYS FOR THEIR CHILDREN. JUDGING FROM WHAT IS LEFT OF THE RIG WE CAN TELL IT WAS INTENDED TO HAVE TWO SPARS AND WAS MOST LIKELY A SCHOONER OR KETCH RIG. IT HAD A BOW SPRIT FOR THE HEAD SAILS AND THERES A SECTION OF LEAD AT THE KEEL FOR BALLAST. THE RUDDER POST WENT THROUGH THE DECK AND ATTACHED TO THE KEEL. THE HULL WAS CARVED OUT OF A SINGLE PIECE OF WOOD. MY PLANS WERE TO CONVERT THIS INTO A SINGLE MAST CUTTER RIG WHICH WOULD DO THE HULL SHAPE JUSTICE. THAT PLAN WAS BURIED BY OTHER BOATS. THIS CAN BE A NICE DISPLAY MODEL AS WELL. IT HAS A GREAT SHAPE AND IT RESEMBLES A WONDERFUL NEW ENGLAND CRAFT FROM DAYS GONE BY. THE BEAM MEASURES 8 1/4" AND THE OVERALL LENGTH IS 24", SO YOU'LL HAVE A NICE REASONABLE SIZE SHOW PIECE WHEN FULLY RIGGED. IT WEIGHS IN AT OVER SIX POUNDS UNPACKED. I GUARANTEE WHAT I SELL. IF YOU AREN'T 100% SATISFIED I WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY LESS RETURN SHIPPING. I EXPECT TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN SEVEN DAYS. DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I INVOICE YOU. EBAY CALCULATOR IS NOT ACCURATE SO I WILL DOUBLE CHECK THE SHIPPING TO YOUR LOCATION. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL FEES OR TARIFFS ON INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS.
