The Pen Duick a regatta cutter built in 1898, was one of the most beautiful sailing boats. She was abandoned after running aground in the muddy flats of the Loire. The legendary sailor, Eric Tabarly, who rescued and lovingly restored her was lost overboard off the southeast coast of Wales on the stormy night of June 12, 1998, the same year that PEN DUICK reached its hundredth birthday.
The model measures 31.9" long from bow to stern. It's a fabulous Yacht Model that will be a conversation piece for any room, office or yacht club.
