Product Description

What makes the Cutty Sark the hero of this race was that she continued the race with a makeshift rudder instead of putting into port for repairs, and in spite of that only lost by a week. Inevitably, the clipper ships lost out to the more powerful steam boats, which were more reliable, and thus returned goods more consistently. The Cutty Sark won the reputation as the fastest ship in her size when she ran 360 nautical miles in 24 hours during a run for Australian Wool trade. The Cutty Sark is the world's sole surviving extreme slipper, with the majority of her hull fabric surviving from her original construction in the 1860s. The Cutty Sark is preserved as a museum ship in Greenwich, which is in south-east LondonOur Cutty Sark model is scratched built plank on frame and strip by strip of exotic wood put together. It is completely hand built by skillful and creative master craftsmen; you will be amazed at how real it looks. The hull is truly beautiful, combined with skills and pure wood, the hull is smoothening out equally giving a shiny and silky feel on side of the hull.
