1763207675Code 8298 Scale Model Sloop1950s scale model of an early 20th-century Bermudan sloop.
Dimensions: 67.5 x 10 x 60 cm (26.6 x 3.9 x 23.6 in)
The model, made of wood with cotton sails, represents a Bermudan-rigged sloop, equipped with a single mast, a triangular mainsail, and a jib.
This type of rig, the most common today, represented a revolutionary innovation in the early 20th century.
The hull is slender, with an elegant stern and a long fixed keel. The triangular mainsail is mounted on a slender mast and flanked by a single headsail.
This type of boat originated in Bermuda in the 17th century and was further refined between 1910 and 1930, particularly by English and American designers.
The Bermuda rig offered improved aerodynamics, reduced weight, and easier handling; for these reasons, between 1920 and 1940, it gradually replaced traditional rigs in racing and pleasure sailboats, marking the transition from period sailing to modern sailing. It became the basis for all post-World War II pleasure sailboats.
