Handcrafted to exacting standards, this 30-inch model replicates the French Le Ponant (Ponant Fleet), the distinguished three-masted sailing yacht launched in 1991 and operated by Ponant Cruises. The original vessel—variously recorded as a 290-foot vessel and as measuring 42 meters (138 feet)—is rendered here with meticulous attention to proportion and detail.
Each model is constructed using the traditional plank-on-frame method by skilled artisans and finished by hand. We use premium-grade woods—Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany—and follow a staged approval process with photographic updates at every key milestone.
