Whether it’s for a rainy day at home, a STEM-focused craft project, or a unique nautical birthday gift, the T9 provides a rewarding experience that ends with a high-quality toy they’ll be proud to launch.
Everything You Need to Build & Launch
This all-in-one kit arrives with everything required to construct, decorate, and sail a 9-inch wooden toy boat.
-
Complete DIY Set: Includes the wooden hull, mast, sails, and rigging.
-
Custom Color Themes: Choose from six vibrant, pre-selected color palettes to make the boat uniquely yours.
-
Durable Design: Built with the same quality as our professional models, featuring an unbreakable mast and genuine sailcloth.
Perfect for Every Body of Water
Once the paint is dry, the T9 is ready for action. Its flat-bottom design makes it stable and fun for:
-
Water Play: Ideal for swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, and calm ponds.
-
Pull-Along Fun: Features a solid brass screw eye so kids can lead their boat along the shoreline.
-
Nautical Decor: When the sun sets, the T9 sits perfectly on a bedroom shelf or mantle as a custom piece of room decor.
A Heritage of Craftsmanship
Like all Tippecanoe boats, the T9 is Made in the USA using high-quality materials. It’s more than just a toy; it’s a hands-on lesson in woodworking and wind power.
If you are looking for a finished 9” long floater boat, rather than a kit, the T9 Floater: Varnished Solid Mahogany Toy Boat is beautifully varnished, made of solid Mahogany wood, and arrives ready to sail! The T10 Floater: Varnished Solid Mahogany Toy Boat is slightly larger, at 10” long, and it has the additional charm of being a two-sailed toy sailboat.
