Bermuda Sloop
Developed
by the Dutch in the 17th century, the Bermuda sloop differed from other
sloops, partly due to the form of its hull, which was very stiff. The
stiffness was attributed to the abundance of Bermuda cedar, which in
addition to being rot-resistant, has superior qualities of low density and
strength, making them light, fast and durable. It is a fore-and-aft
rigged vessel, built with as many as three masts, though the single-masted
type shown here is its purest form. During the 18th century, the
Bermuda sloop became the most widely used type of sailing vessel throughout
the West Indes. This example uses an antique finish in red and white.
Large size and intricate details make this replica an impressive display.
Ideal gift for sailing enthusiasts and collectors.
