Triang (LInes Bros) are probably best known for their tinplate yachts and toys. However, in the early 1930's they produced 3 ranges of wooden pond yachts. This particular yacht was from a range which does not appear to have been sold in large quantities and therefore today they are very rare.
This yacht has survived in such good condition because it has always been stored in its original wooden box. Although faded it is still possible to read on the lid     "Tri-ang Yachts made by skilled racing yacht builders"
The yacht itself is in exceptionally good condition for her age. There is some paint loss on the bottom of the keel which suggests she was sailed at some point. The paintwork is the original red and black but there are some small marks from sailing. The name "Shamrock" has been drawn on the bows.
The deck is in good condition and has a lovely colour. Plank lines have been drawn and all the fittings are original
The sails are also original and in very good order with one small hole in the mainsail and just a couple of small stains. Some of the rigging will have been replaced over the years.
It is very unusual to find a yacht of this era in such good original condition. A rare opportunity.
