Captain Heritage™ Defender Sailboat Schooner Yacht 1/64 Wooden Scale Model (formerly OMH)

Designed by legendary naval architect Nathanael Herreshoff and launched under strict secrecy in 1895, the Defender dominated the 1895 America’s Cup against challenger Valkyrie III with three consecutive victories. This museum-grade wooden replica captures the pioneering hull lines and racing legacy of the iconic American yacht, serving as an authoritative centerpiece for luxury coastal interiors, executive suites, and maritime collections. Authentic Plank-on-Frame Hardwood Joinery Constructed entirely using authentic plank-on-frame joinery, this replica is hand-built from scratch by master artisans using sustainable Western Red Cedar, Mahogany, and Teak. The hull is planked to highlight its natural hardwood grain and finished with four protective coats of clear marine varnish to ensure structural integrity and luster over time. Museum-Grade Detailing & Zero-Plastic Guarantee Adhering to strict heirloom standards, this replica contains zero plastic parts or synthetic resins. The deck is outfitted with individual hand-stitched linen sails, pre-installed color-matched rigging, detailed wooden deckhouses, and solid cast metal hardware engineered for lasting durability. Display-Ready Setup & Secure Crating Measuring 23.6 inches in length and over 29 inches in height, this schooner includes a polished dark hardwood display base fitted with a brass nameplate. To guarantee damage-free freight transit, the mast and pre-strung rigging fold flat inside a reinforced wooden shipping crate, allowing quick, tool-free setup in minutes using the included step-by-step assembly guide.
