On Trial - English 20th Century Bowman Carved Wood Gaff Cutter Pond Yacht
Made in Norfolk, England, in the twentieth century and attributed to Bowman, this carved wooden pond yacht is rigged as a gaff cutter. Bowman models are well regarded among collectors of sailing models, and the maker association adds interest to this example. Pond yachts were built to be sailed on ornamental ponds and are now collected as decorative maritime objects. The carved wooden hull has the balanced proportions of a true sailing model, with the gaff cutter rig defined by a single mast and a four-cornered mainsail. As a display piece, the yacht suits a shelf, mantel, or stand in a study, library, or coastal interior. Its nautical lines and the Bowman attribution make it a desirable decorative accent. Shown alone or grouped with other models, it brings a maritime theme to a room while taking up little space.
