A fantastic find for the maritime collector or model-boat enthusiast — this is not simply an anonymous nautical decoration.
The stern is clearly marked:
ANAKONDA
NRV KDY
The model has a beautifully detailed wooden deck with individual plank styling, miniature bollards and fittings, railing around the perimeter, coiled rope details, cockpit/steering-wheel treatment, white cabin structure, contrasting blue hull accents and a large keel/rudder area beneath the boat.
The boat is mounted above a handsome rectangular dark-finished wooden display stand, giving it a substantial presentation rather than the appearance of a lightweight souvenir model.
Although incomplete, much of what gives this model its visual character remains intact. For someone experienced in restoring model ships, the loose rigging and missing sail present an opportunity to return it to a more complete display configuration.
It could also be displayed exactly as found for a more weathered, vintage nautical appearance.
This would make an interesting addition to a:
* Maritime collection
* Model yacht collection
* Sailing enthusiast’s office
* Beach or coastal home
* Yacht club décor
* Nautical-themed study or library
* Restaurant/bar nautical display
* Man cave
* Coastal Airbnb or vacation property
Approximate Measurements
Boat/hull length: approximately 19–20 inches
Maximum hull width/beam: approximately 6 inches
Display base: approximately 16 inches long
Overall assembled height: approximately 28–29 inches, depending upon mast/rigging positioning
Those numbers also align closely with a documented complete example measuring 20” W × 28.5” H × 6” D.
Measurements are approximate; please see measurement photos” in the listing.

Condition
Pre-owned vintage collectible — restoration project / incomplete.
This is a substantial wooden display model of the ANAKONDA NRV KDY sailing yacht, mounted on its original-style wooden display stand.
The model remains highly displayable and retains a large amount of its original decorative detail; however, it is not complete and will require restoration or re-rigging by the new owner.
Known condition issues visible in the photographs include:
* One sail appears to be missing
* Remaining sail shows age/use wear and discoloration
* Several rigging ropes/lines are loose, disconnected or need to be restrung
* Some small deck fittings may require reattachment or adjustment
* General surface wear, dust, marks and finish wear consistent with age
* Visible age-related cracking/separation in some painted wooden areas, including around the stern
* Wooden display base has normal cosmetic wear
I have not attempted restoration, cleaning, repainting or re-rigging because I would rather leave that work to a collector who knows how to properly preserve this type of model.
Please study all photographs carefully. They are part of the description and show exactly what is included.
Sold as-is for restoration/display.
