Alex Figueroa Vintage Pond Yachts Boat Free-Sailing
|
|
I started making pond yachts with my father in Puerto Rico. In 1940, when I was just a boy, I would go to work with him to learn how to make them myself. Afterwards, we would take them to the lake to sail and race. Now, I make pond yachts for anyone that wants one… don't they look great?
I have various yachts ranging from 3 to 5 feet in length; the best thing about them is that you can sail them on any pond or lake. My yachts are handmade from Red Cedar Wood with hollowed insides; they also come with their own stand.

The yacht pictured is 48 inches long, 10 inches wide and 55 inches tall. Complete with sail mast, it weighs 15 pounds. The lead keel weighs 11 pounds. It is 5 inches long and 10 inches wide.
My yachts take approximately 5 minutes to assemble and are free sailing. They are rigged with brass fittings and have a nylon sail mast. I hope you have as much fun with them as I did with my dad!
