Endeavour Medium
The Endeavour was the most impressive British sailboat to ever race in the America’s Cup World Series. Built for speed as well as beauty, the Endeavour was created in 1934 by Thomas Sopwith, the undisputed leader of the British aircraft industry. A magnificent model to be displayed as a home or office decor. Master craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings, and original plan. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop. The Endeavour model features beautiful hand stitched sails that extends all the way to the masthead. The wooden pulleys keep the complicated rigging tighten. The deck is made out of wood planks that are carefully pieced symmetrically for a beautiful finish. An elongated boom flows from the mast to the stern. There is a wooden cabin located in the middle of the deck. You can also spot a companionway that would lead to the bottom hull. Various wooden winches are placed around the deck to wind up or let out riggings when needed. The model is secured tightly on a solid wood base with a brass nameplate. The mast and sails are folded down for easy packaging and shipping. It’ll make a perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or passionate collector.

Boats
- What are model boats?
Model boats are made from different types of wood. The boats are made like real boats - first, the ribs of the boat are assembled, then the wood is added to the outside. The masts of our model boats are made of fabric that the masts of real boats of the past were also made out of. Last, the decorations are added, such as the bronze cannons. It is possible to have a boat made completely as the client wishes. We sell the best-known Dutch and German historical boats as default. These boats are purchased from a boat supplier. We can supply display cases with the boats. The displays protect the boats and prevent dust from getting on them. A special category among the boats is the speedboats. These are made in the same way as the historical boats. Even the interior of the boat is made of real leather. These speedboats have the option of being made in life-size.
- Can model ships float?
Classic boats cannot float. This is because there is no load in the boats. Hence, they are too light to float on the water. The speed boats, on the other hand, can float and are suitable to present themselves that way.
- Can you control a model ship or boat?
Yes, the boats can be fitted with remote-controlled motors. However, this is at an additional cost. There is also an option for us to prepare the boats remote-controlled without motors. This is also with additional charges.
- How are SFD display boats transported?
They are packed in a crate with rubber bands. This way the boats are unable to move, preventing any damage done to the boats. We deliver our model boats to any country of your choice. Depending on the size of the boat, there may be some additional costs. If this is the case, we will always let you know in advance.
