Description

About the American Yacht

Making history in in the 19 th Century, the America Yacht was a racing powerhouse that was the first winner of the America’s Cup international sailing trophy. Led by NYYC charter member Commodore John Cox Stephens, the America Yacht was built with the purpose of sailing to England to compete and show off the U.S skill for shipbuilding.

Designed to sail faster with a conclave clipper bow, it was among the most seaworthy vessels of its day. This kit will allow you to pay homage to a pioneering and much admired part of boating history.

I started this 1/96 scale kit in November 2019. I purchased this kit on eBay, it had already been started and is my first Wood Model Kit.

I discovered why buying someone’s started unfinished kit can be cheap but risky. However, it’s wood and any mistakes can be corrected with lots of filler and sanding.  🤣

• GrandpaPhil , Duanelaker and JayCub

The repair of this model gave me an appreciation of wood modeling vs working with plastic kits. The stern and transom had not been built correctly and had to be taken apart and rebuilt. 

• etubino , Duanelaker and GrandpaPhil

Building deck furniture from scratch is a new experience for me. Find build logs like those on this site was very helpful. Instruction are definitely lacking in details. 

• GrandpaPhil , etubino , JayCub and 1 other

I have now completed the deck features and ready to start detailing the bowsprit and masts. Next up is preparing sails. 

• GrandpaPhil , JayCub and Duanelaker

Fortunately my wife has a nice sewing machine. This helps detailing out the sails. 

• Duanelaker and GrandpaPhil

Bluejacket does supply metal blocks that are very detailed. However, they are tiny.   

Shrouds are completed and it’s on to the rest of the standing rigging. I will keep you all posted on my progress. I have two builds going, this one and the Charles W Morgan. So this one will get placed on the back burner until I need a change from working on the Morgan. Keeps me occupied these winter months. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for taking a look, tips and comments are welcome.

Decided to redo the sails, before placing them on the yacht. Left is the first attempt, right v2.0. Brought some 100% cotton at the fabric store. Bargained for the use of my wife’s new sewing machine. Who says you can’t sew a 1/16th inch seam. 😎

Ahoy John Ruy! I like a lot the America! I´ve built the Scintific kit, but this one that you are building is an amazing solid hull Kit, very good detail.  The Rudder and the Copper Sheating you've made is excellent! Regards, Eduardo

Thank you for your comments, I had purchased the Scientific kit but opted to resell it. This Bluejacket Kit is of a bit larger scale and was a plank on frame hull that needed rescue. It has been a learning experience for me and is continuing to be good experience for developing my wood modeling skills.   

Thanks again,

• JayCub , GrandpaPhil and Duanelaker

Top Sail fitted... Rigging detail was a bit unclear in this kit and was not able to find much detail regarding Halyard and tack. There are so many versions rigging options on this yacht. I’m hoping I got it right...

Please chime in if you all see something I missed.

• 2 weeks later...

I knew something did not look right about the topsail. Upon further investigation I saw that I had mis-traced my pattern from the drawing. 

GrandpaPhil

Adding the sails and completing the hull including copper was great scratch building experience. Sail cloth was included but very little instruction on sewing sails.    

• Ryland Craze , Duanelaker , ccoyle and 4 others

Congrats on your first build.  Looks great I am not sure if I missed it but do you know what you are moving onto next?

Yacht America – Half Hull Kit | After being launched in New York in 1851, the yacht AMERICA crossed the Atlantic to challenge the entire fleet on England’s Royal Yacht Squadron. Having won, she was awarded a silver trophy that was to become known as the America’s Cup, the most cherished prize in the world of sailing.

The 1851 yacht America is a remarkable vessel that has captured the hearts and imaginations of sailors and enthusiasts for generations. Designed and built by George Steers, this magnificent yacht was intended to compete in the prestigious Royal Yacht Squadron’s annual 100 Guinea Cup race, now known as the America’s Cup. With its sleek and graceful lines, the America was a true representation of the burgeoning American sailing industry at the time.

The yacht was named after its home country, a symbol of pride and patriotism for the young nation. It was constructed with the most advanced techniques and materials of the time, making it a cutting-edge vessel in terms of both design and performance. Its hull was made of oak and its rigging was crafted from the finest hemp, allowing the yacht to glide through the water with speed and agility.

Half Hulls are beautiful additions to home and office as well as unique presentation awards. AMERICA can be varnished showing the decorative alternating basswood and mahogany layers, or painted as on the original yacht.

Pre-cut lifts (in alternating layers of basswood and mahogany)

Chamfered solid cherry backboard (6″ x 23″)

Brass nameplate

About: America

Introducing the relaunch of one of our most popular models! New and Improved for the US. Includes detailed full color instructions. The 609 America is a “Plank on Bulkhead” wood model boat kit that is an authentic reproduction of the famous schooner that gave the name to the “America’s Cup”.

1850-On the urging of the New York Yacht Club to build a fast sailing boat, George Steers creates plans for the America. The low black schooner is designed using the reversal of the codhead-and-mackerel style. 1851-Answering a challenge from the Royal Yacht Squadron, the schooner America enters the Hundred Guinea Cup Race, a 53 mile race around the Isle of Wight. It easily defeats the 14 British ships and is awarded the Hundred Guinea Cup.On August 25th Queen Victoria herself visits the ship. America returns home and presents the New York Yacht Clup with its prize, which is renamed America’s Cup. Kit includes laser cut wooden hull and wooden strips, fittings set, sails, rigging thread, plan and manual. Scale model of a fast Cup Sailing Boat.

The yacht “America,” which gave its name to the prestigious sailing competition known as the America’s Cup, holds a legendary place in maritime history. Launched in 1851, the America was designed by George Steers and built by the renowned shipbuilders of Coenties Slip in New York City. This sleek, three-masted schooner was notable for its innovative design and craftsmanship, featuring a sharp, slender hull that allowed her to glide effortlessly through the waters. The ship’s elegant silhouette and superior sailing capabilities captured the attention of onlookers, especially during the historic race around the Isle of Wight, where America triumphed against a fleet of British yachts. This victory not only marked the beginning of the America’s Cup tradition but also symbolized the pride of a burgeoning United States maritime culture in the mid-19th century. The America remains an enduring representation of innovation, competition, and the spirit of adventure that defines yacht racing to this day.

1851 Schooner America, in 1:20 scale

Here we have a project to design the frames for the famous schooner America, the famous ship that started one of the longest-running athletic competitions in the world, the chase for America’s Cup.

America was originally built as a yacht to showcase American yacht-building skill and to make a little money by winning yacht-racing competitions. She was a real racer/cruiser.

There is an excellent description of the history and career of America on the Wikipedia page for the schooner: Wikipedia – Schooner America

Here are a few details or the original yacht:

• LOA: 101′ 3”
• LWL: 89’ 10″
• Beam: 22′ 10″
• Draft: 10’ 11”
• Designers: James Rich Steers and George Steers
• Year Designed: 1850
• Builder: George Steers and Co. Long Island, New York
• Launched: 1851
• Scrapped and burned in a shed in 1945, Annapolis, Maryland

Scale model dimensions, at 1:20 scale:

• LOA: 60.75”
• Beam: 13.7″
• Draft: 8.3” (including 1.75″ allowance for stability)

Next is to establish the actual design criteria:

Standard Equipment:

• Topsides identical to the drawing.
• 10% more volume below the waterline.
• Two thicknesses for the keel to aid in keeping the hull straight during planking.
• .0625“ offset for hull planking
• Bulkheads are 1/8” birch plywood.

Starting Point – The Original Plan Sheets

Here we have a look at the starting point of the design. These pictures are from the book of America’s Cup yacht design and are missing a lot of detail. This is an interesting project in particular because there is so little accurate information about the original construction. Much has to be inferred from pictures and old paintings.

Modifying the Underwater Shape

The drawings were then chopped up so the area below the waterline could be tweaked for R/C modelling. The drawings are inserted into Solidworks on separate planes so they can be stretched separately. As noted in the builder’s requests the keel was lowered by about 1.75″. When the frames are sketched, the discontinuity will be smoothed with a long spline. Have a look at our page on the design and fabrication of Malabar, by clicking . The adjustment of the shape of the hull and the insertion of the sketches into Solidworks is done in a similar manner in most models.

Building up the design in Solidworks

The drawings are inserted in the software and stretched to fit the requested dimensions. For these projects, where all parts are intimately connected, we use Multi-Body parts in Solidworks.
		Here the main dimension outline and station positions have been prepared and the keel has been drawn and extruded.
		America has an interesting arrangement for the sheer plank. It was a challenge to figure out how this would have been created on the original ship, especially around the stern, where the cap rail wraps around quite pleasantly.
		I was expecting the sheer plank and the deck to line up but I haven’t found information that shows this, one way or the other. I opted for one line for the sheer and another for the level of the deck.
		Once the various 3D curves are created, using the Projection tool in Solidworks, the bulkhead shapes are attached to those so that everything can be tweaked if needed.
		Next, the tops of the bulkheads are added. These are used so the model can be built easily on a table. This is quite useful for large models.
		Next, the T-rail parts are added and the 3D Multi-Body is ready to be disassembled and inserted in the 2D for cutting.
		Finally, For this model, a simple 2D exploded view is created and inserted in a 2D drawing. Making the assembly drawings is my favorite part of Solidworks projects.

Assembling the Frames

The builder has been gracious enough to send me pictures of the model from the moment he started assembling the frames. I find Solidworks is the right software for doing these frame sets. This sets was designed in Solidworks, cut, and shipped direct to the client. The parts were tested in the software. There was no prototype. Sure, there are some areas that need to be addressed but we knew about them even before cutting.

Dealing with the Transom

The various drawings and photographs show conflicting designs for the transom. After some fiddling and decision-making, the builder himself created this lovely transom. This is one of the great parts of working directly with a builder on a project; each detail can become unique right from the start.

Choices, choices!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen quite such a lovely planking and finishing job on a model! And yet, the Italian builder, like so many most excellent Italian artists, was not happy with the finish and then painted the model to even higher standards. I am really happy to have had the pleasure to participate in the construction of such a great model.

Internal Structure

A picture really is worth a thousand words. Several things can be seen in this picture. You can see the nice deck camber that was designed into the frames. You can see the step from the stern deck to the main deck. You can see the nice gently reduction of the bulwark from bow to stern, and you can see the extra bracing the builder has incorporated for the various lines and controls. A masterful job.
