OcCre America 1851 – historic yacht model from the origin of the America’s Cup
OcCre America 1851 is a wooden model kit in 1/75 scale representing the yacht America, the vessel that gave its name to the America’s Cup. The model is directly connected to sailing history in 1851, when America crossed the Atlantic to race around the Isle of Wight and became a symbol of the moment sailing turned into a technical and international competition.
For retailers, America 1851 is a strong model for customers looking for a historic yacht with a clear identity. The story of James and George Steers, the New York Yacht Club and the legendary victory against the elite of the British fleet gives the kit an exclusive and easy-to-communicate background for both collectors and sailing enthusiasts.
With 1135 parts and an estimated build time of around 120 hours, America 1851 is a focused project for model builders with basic experience. The well-known America’s Cup connection, clean yacht lines and included construction stand, photo-etched nameplate and detailed support material make it an attractive option in assortments where quality, history and maritime elegance meet.
