Volunteer Models

The winner of the 1887 America’s Cup, Volunteer skillfully triumphed over challengers Mayflower and Thistle. Bring the exhilaration of the race to your desk top or living room with our remarkably life-like Volunteer model sailboats.  With stunning woodwork and vibrant authentic colors, our Volunteer model boats are the perfect gift for friends and colleagues.

Exclusively built by and offered at Handcrafted Model Ships, our pre- and fully assembled Volunteer model boats are accurate, museum quality, and affordable.  Our limited edition Volunteer model boats each feature countless additional details, supplementary riggings, extensive deck upgrades, and a certificate of authenticity as only 100 will ever be made.  Showcased on a wall-mounted display shelf or a decorative display table, our Volunteer sailboat model is an elegant addition to the home or office.
