Puritan 1/50 static boat

 The American sloop "Puritan," designed by Edward Burgess in 1851, is an iconic vessel in the history of sailing and yacht racing. It played a crucial role in the history of regattas and sailboat racing of its time.

The "Puritan" was a racing sloop, a type of single-masted monohull sailboat designed specifically for competition and speed. Its designer, Edward Burgess, introduced several innovations in its design aimed at improving aerodynamics, lightness, and overall performance of the vessel.

In 1885, the "Puritan" participated in the 6th edition of the America's Cup, one of the most prestigious and ancient sailing competitions in the world. The America's Cup is an international yacht race competition representing various countries, and the "Puritan" represented the United States in this edition.

The "Puritan" won the America's Cup in 1885, defeating the British yacht "Genesta." This victory marked a turning point in the history of the competition and bolstered the reputation of the United States in sailing and naval engineering.

The success of the "Puritan" was attributed to its innovations in hull design, rigging, and sails. Its innovative design gave it an advantage in terms of speed and maneuverability, allowing it to outperform its competitors.

After its victory in the America's Cup, the "Puritan" became a symbol of excellence in design and sailing. It inspired future sailboat designers and contributed to the evolution of sailing technology.

The history of the "Puritan" illustrates the importance of innovation, engineering, and competition in the realm of sailing. Its legacy endures in the sailing world, continuing to influence the design and construction of modern racing sailboats.

The model kit of the Puritan by MAMOLI:

The scale in which we have produced our kit is 1:50, which shows every detail of the real structure. The model can be constructed both as static (with the second visible planking in mahogany or painted according to preference) or sailing following the indications to make the hull waterproof.

The wooden ship model kits in the MAMOLI MV series come with all wooden parts laser-cut for easy and accurate assembly. The wood used is among the finest, and the complete fittings are of top quality.

With the boats from the MAMOLI range, you have the opportunity to recreate several famous ships that participated in the America's Cup: the Puritan, the Britannia, and the America.
