Description

A fabulous original Star Yacht SY/2 vintage toy sailing boat from the iconic English maker Star Yachts of Birkenhead. In very good vintage condition, this bright and colourful yacht displays well and brings fond memories of childhood holidays at the beach…

Star Yachts give a “guarantee to sail”. Sail it in the local pond or lake, or display it to brighten a special corner!

Star Yachts are known around the world for their range of model sailing boats. Produced from just after the first world war until the company’s closure in 1990. Over the years they produced many different variants, each one proudly displaying the company’s decal – “Made in England” and “Guaranteed to Sail”.

This SY/2 model is in very good vintage condition, the original factory red paintwork has a few marks consistent with age. A small section of the enamel paint has come away on the stern, and there is a small amount of rubbing at the very tip of the bow, while the metalwork has a few small rust marks on the keel. The original deck transfer is undamaged.

The sails have weathered beautifully, they have a few age related marks that add to the charm of the piece and, importantly, they have no rips or tears. The “STAR SY/2” logo on the sail is easily read and the cotton itself shows no signs of deterioration.
Another nice detail on this particular model is the blue stitching to the hems of the sails.

The overall dimensions of this yacht are approximately 32 cm (12.5″) long and it stands 41cm (16″) tall.

Includes a handmade (not Star Yacht Original) stand to show this vintage beauty off.
