  Treat a boater to a thoughtful model sailboat gift. Look for realistic boat models featuring antique-inspired designs. Model sailboat gifts are also ideal for ocean lovers and people whose homes have a nautical decor theme. Sailboat replicas will give any room in a house or a professional office an elegant look.
  
  

Schooner Model

• Delight a sailboat lover with a large unassembled schooner model he can design himself. The gift will provide the recipient with hours of boat-building enjoyment. Choose a model featuring a wooden hand-laid deck, real brass fittings and intricately detailed running and standing rigging. Pick a model that includes a wooden stand on which the crafter can display his finished work. Make sure the model includes step-by-step assembly instructions. Complete the gift with wood glue or any other craft item the sailboat model requires so the recipient has everything he needs to start building right away.
  
  

Sailboat in a Bottle

• Sailboat enthusiasts will appreciate a romantic and decorative sailboat in a bottle kit. Choose a kit featuring a wood box filled with all of the model-building essentials. Kits include a pre-carved ship hull, copper wire, mast and spar wood, cotton sails, cork, line for rigging, a decorative clear glass bottle and a display stand. Recipients will be walked through the sailboat-in-a-bottle building process with a detailed instruction booklet and extensive drawings. The finished product will make a decorative desk, wall shelf or coffee table decoration.
  
  

Remote-Controlled Sailboat

• Surprise a boater with pre-built remote-controlled sailboat model. When the sailboat enthusiast can't be in his own boat, he can race the sailboat model on a lake, pond or other body of water. Choose a remote-controlled sailboat featuring brightly hued sails, easy rudder removal for traveling or storage convenience, a detachable mast and user-friendly remote system. Pick a sailboat model with a realistic finish and high-quality workmanship. Include a wooden display stand and all required batteries.
