VALDIVIA  2-MASTED SCHOONER

In the mid-1860’s a Swedish distilling company placed a contract with the Stockholm dockyard of Soedra Varvet for the construction of a fast, elegant sailing schooner. In 1868 the Vanadis was launched, rigged as a Newfoundland schooner. During her colorful career the vessel’s high speed was in demand, and at times she operated as a smuggling boat and as a customs vessel. In the period 1978 to 1981 she underwent complete restoration in Hamburg, and since then she has sailed under the name Valdivia von Altona. She now serves as a charter vessel for extended sailing cruises, and has taken part with great success in international regattas. Building and operating this large model present many hours of undiluted pleasure to the experienced marine modeler who enjoys working with wood and other materials. If you are one of them, our model of the Valdivia will take you back effortlessly to the atmospheric heyday of these marvelous sailing yachts.
