Duchess, 23 1/2" hull, with bowsprit, 30" in length
Early 1900s British Pond Boat $850
This is a late Victorian Pond Boat ca 1900, purchased in England. The gaff rig is typical of the time. Due to her age, the Duchess has been restored at least once before. She was brought to me with mildew and very discolored sails. I cleaned her up, replaced the sails and a broken bowsprit. The Braine type steering may be part of an earlier restoration. I also made a rudder to replace the original, which was broken.
