Defender was an approximately 37.5-meter-long sailing yacht completed for the ninth America’s Cup in 1895. The boat was designed and built by “Nathanael Greene Herreshoff”.
Skipper “Henry C. Haff” successfully defended the Cup for the USA with Defender. The opponent was the British Valkyrie III, which was defeated 3:0.
After the competitions, Defender was not moved for 4 years and was only used as a sparring partner for the 1899 trials. In 1901, the sailing yacht was scrapped.

The ship model shown is a scale replica of the Defender.
This model was made 100% by hand and with precision using traditional frame construction with hull planking.
Exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, among others, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model as the finished product.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and painted where intended. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorative details (e.g. cannons, portholes, anchors, dials and wheels …) are made of brass, chrome or other high-quality metals.
The sails are made of fabric or silk, the masts of wood, and the rigging of sturdy cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be tightened at any time.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
