The model measures 50 cm in length and 68 cm in height, giving it a strong presence in any collection.

Design & Detail

Enterprise is finished in a white colour scheme and includes a number of visible deck features that help complete the look of the yacht. The helm wheel, rope coils and cleats are all represented on deck, adding extra interest for close viewing. The sails also include intentional ageing on the cloth, which contributes to the authentic appearance of the model.

According to the product details, the yacht is painted to match the imagery and colour scheme of the actual Enterprise. That careful presentation, combined with the tall rig and classic lines of the J Class design, makes this a striking display model for anyone drawn to traditional sailing craft.
