Intrepid 1967 America\'s Cup Half Hull Model 24\"
This expert level, highly detailed, museum quality, Intrepid 1967 model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit). The manufacturer is Abordage\'.
This America\'s Cup half hull model was crafted in mahogany and tropical hard woods by the traditional plank on bulkhead method. After the bulkheads are laid and the hull lines trued, the hull is planked with individual wooden strips to form a smooth silhouette.
The Intrepid 1967 model is then sanded, hand painted with white topsides, gold cove stripe, gold boot stripe & varnished stained bottom. The half hull is then mounted on a ready to hang wooden plaque, with an engraved brass nameplate. The half hull model is built exactly to scale as the original Intrepid 1967 was. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.
Intrepid was designed by Olin Stephens, and was built of double-planked mahogany on white oak frames. She featured important innovations both above and below the waterline. The rudder was separated from the keel and a trim tab was added. This new general underbody type, with relatively minor refinements, was used on every subsequent Cup boat until the 12-metre Australia II\'s winged keel of 1983. In 1967 Intrepid was skippered by Emil \"Bus\" Mosbacher, and defeated Australian challenger Dame Pattie. Redesigned in 1970 by Britton Chance, Jr. and skippered by Bill Ficker that year, she defeated another Australian challenger, Gretel II.
