The Columbia 1958 Small Sailboat Model is a masterful tribute to the iconic defender of the 1958 America’s Cup, representing the proud heritage of the New York Yacht Club. Built plank-on-frame from carefully selected western red cedar, rosewood, mahogany, and teak, this model is designed according to original plans, drawings, and historical photographs to faithfully reproduce the yacht’s elegant lines and sailing prowess at 1:66 scale.
Featuring a single mast with hand-stitched linen sails and detailed rigging, along with authentic wooden hatches and metal stanchions and railings, the model’s varnished hull highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain complemented by a painted waterline. The wood base, complete with a brass nameplate, proudly displays the yacht’s name, “Columbia 1958.” The mast and sails fold down for shipping and require minor assembly upon arrival.
Historically, Columbia was originally built in 1899 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company for owners J. Pierpont Morgan and Edwin Dennison Morgan of the New York Yacht Club. With a nickel steel frame, tobin bronze hull, and steel mast (later replaced with Oregon pine), Columbia successfully defended the America’s Cup twice consecutively, cementing its place in sailing lore.
