Display base yacht America 1851 - OcCre

A complete base to display the yacht America 1851

After completing the construction of a wooden boat model, choosing a suitable stand enhances the work done and provides a stable presentation.

The OcCre 19170 base has been designed to accompany the model of the yacht America 1851.

It serves as a finishing accessory intended to highlight the lines of this historic sailboat.

This complete display base consists of three elements: a rectangular base in black MDF and two supports in cast Zamak metal with a silver finish.

The combination of these materials provides a visual contrast between the dark base and the metallic supports.

This simple presentation leaves all the focus on the hull, deck, and rigging of the sailboat.

Technical characteristics of the OcCre 19170 base

The manufacturer has chosen materials suitable for a static presentation of a naval model:

Base: MDF with black finish.

Supports: two pieces in cast Zamak metal with silver finish.

Dimensions: 240 x 145 x 16 mm.

Reference: OcCre 19170.

With its dimensions of 240 mm in length, 145 mm in width, and 16 mm in thickness, this base offers a compact presentation surface.

The two metallic supports ensure the model's stability and contribute to an orderly display of the model.

The origin of the America's Cup

The yacht America holds a special place in the history of competitive sailing.

This American sailboat participated in 1851 in a race organized around the Isle of Wight, England, as part of the Great Exhibition in London.

It then competed against several British yachts and won the competition in front of the representatives of the Royal Yacht Squadron.

Its success gave birth to an international competition that would take the name of the America's Cup.

This trophy gradually became one of the most prestigious events in competitive sailing.

The yacht America thus remains associated with the beginnings of this great nautical tradition.

A presentation without painting work

The OcCre base comes with a black base and two supports already equipped with their silver finish.

It is therefore not necessary to plan for painting to achieve the appearance presented by the manufacturer.

The metallic elements and the base are designed to form a coherent presentation set.

Unlike a stand to be made by oneself, this complete base avoids having to cut a wooden base or make custom metallic supports.

It allows more time to be devoted to the construction and finishing of the model.

Intended for static display, this base will naturally find its place in a showcase, on a shelf, or in a collection dedicated to models of historic sailboats.

It allows the yacht America 1851 to be presented in a simple environment, suited to its history and its role in the birth of the America's Cup.
