de jachtmodellen

pronken is van alle tijden

Al in de 17e eeuw pronkten mensen die het zich konden veroorloven graag met hun rijkversierde jachten. Deze tentoonstelling met scheepsmodellen geeft een fraai beeld van luxe pleziervaart door de eeuwen heen.

De modellen zijn een lust voor het oog. Spiegeljachten, paviljoenjachten, boeiers, tjotters en hekjachten… scheepsmodellen zijn vaak net zo kunstig gemaakt als het origineel. Zelf de versiering van de modellen is net zo rijk als de originele jachten.

Er zijn ook modellen van moderne jachten te bewonderen, zoals de catamaran Zeeman, de Volvo Ocean Racer ABNAMRO1 en de driemaster Maltese Falcon. Ook curiosa als de autoboot ontbreken niet.
