Bermuda Sloop Developed by the Dutch in the 17th century, the Bermuda sloop differed from other sloops, partly due to the form of its hull, which was very stiff. The stiffness was attributed to the abundance of Bermuda cedar, which in addition to being rot-resistant, has superior qualities of low density and strength, making them light, fast and durable. It is a fore-and-aft rigged vessel, built with as many as three masts, though the single-masted type shown here is its purest form. During the 18th century, the Bermuda sloop became the most widely used type of sailing vessel throughout the West Indes. This example uses an antique finish in red and white. Large size and intricate details make this replica an impressive display. Ideal gift for sailing enthusiasts and collectors. Dimensions: 60.75" x 8" x 57.75"
