Description
What sets this model apart is the painstaking attention to detail and historical accuracy. Master craftsmen use traditional techniques and materials, combining high-grade woods such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany, to recreate the iconic Dixie II in precise scale. The plank-on-frame construction method ensures that every detail, from the intricately hand-stitched red leather seats to the brass fittings, is precisely rendered. The hull is made from western red cedar and mahogany strips, with a glossy finish achieved through multiple layers of varnish.
But this model is more than just a beautiful work of art - it's also a piece of history. The original Dixie II was a pioneering vessel that defeated two British ships and an American challenger to win the coveted Harmsworth Trophy, earning its place as one of the last displacement-style unlimited racers. Designed by Clinton Crane and powered by a Crane Whitman 8-cylinder engine, the Dixie II set a world record of 36.04 miles per hour at Hempstead Harbor, making it the fastest motor boat in the world.
This extraordinary model is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every aspect of its construction. The level of precision and authenticity is unmatched, making it a true collector's item for boat enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their home or office decor.
