Description

This lovely boat is a specially designed yawl, made for a special customer from photographs of his father’s boat which won its race from Victoria BC to Maui. The completed boat stands 22 inches tall, and 18 inches long by 5 inches wide. It has rope coils and ties on cabin and front mast, a tiny handmade tiller, barometer, cabin rails, signal light and hatches. I used a special baroque glass for the sails, details are built from silver coated copper wire and soldered metal and glass, as requested by the customer.

To craft this boat, I used the tiffany or copper foil method of stained glass, and three dimensional techniques. I hand cut the glass for this boat from white streaky stained glass for the sails, warm wood coloured glass for the deck and opaque white glass for the cabins, deck fittings and hull.

Altogether, this lovely boat is a work of art, handcrafted specially for the person you know that loves and admires sailing, sailboats, or the sailing lifestyle.
