During the covid lockdown of 2020 Pond Yacht Antiques approached Grove Pond Yachts, one of the foremost pond yacht manufacturers in this country, with the idea of producing a "brand new" Star of Birkenhead pond yacht.
It was decided to scan a 1930's round stern BR hull and combine the lines with arguably the most attractive colour scheme of the post war BRs, the black and varnish Meteorite.
Over the next 12 months 3 yachts were produced to modern standards and tolerances.
With the help of Graham Hunt from the Star Birkenhead Appreciation Society, they were sailed on the boating lake at Birkenhead to find out how they compared with the original Meteorite.
This particular yacht has been on display in London for the last few years. We are pleased to have repurchased her and can offer her for sale still in original mint condition .
She is complete with her original stand.
Obviously she is very rare being one of only 3 produced.
