Large pure copper aged weathered verdigris sailboat weathervane

This is a quality pure copper sailboat weathervane that has been professionally aged to a genuine green patina. The sail boat weathervane will add a lovely outdoor feature and due to the stunning patina that has developed will also compliment roofs or settings with existing architectural features or could be the perfect replacement weathervane to replace a non-functional or broken weathervane

The detail and accents have great definition where the hull, keel, mast, sails and rigging is all clearly defined. Sailboats or sailing boats are types of boat that are typically propelled by the wind fully or partly by sails. Sail boats tend to be smaller than a sailing ship and this weather vane features a detailed looking sail boat design that sailors and those that love boats, ships, the sea and anything nautical will love. The wind vane looks fantastic as it moves in the direction the wind is blowing. One of the oldest known boats was discovered around 1300 BC in Mesopotamia, the largest example is made by hand

The Verdigris weathervanes are pure copper that is naturally aged outside at our workshop to develop a lovely natural aged green Verdigris patina. We have many weathervanes aging at different stages on a staggered schedule. and many batches become available for sale at several points in the year. All age at different rates and no two look completely the same so it creates a stunning individual weathervane that has a magnificent aged and traditional appearance

Weathervane Rod

The weathervane rod that fits into the bracket is 19.5mm diameter steel tubing that is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint

Standard Bracket

Each weathervane is supplied with a standard 125mm (5 inch) eaves bracket. Other brackets and fixings are available (see Brackets & Fixings section for more details)

Features

• Easy to assemble and install (including step by step instructions)

• Includes everything you need to construct the weathervane: Steel rod, NSEW directionals, verdigris copper globes and weathervane figure

• Exclusive Single Point Contact design allows the weathervane to spin freely in the wind

Construction

• Copper: The weathervane designs are handcrafted from pure copper and brazed. Brazing may be visible on some designs but doesn't tend to lessen the beauty of the lovely copper weathervane design. Globes and spacers are also made from pure copper, the copper over time has naturally aged to a Verdigris patina

• Brass: Cast brass is used for the NSEW cardinal points on the range of copper weathervanes

• Steel: Rods and brackets to mount the weathervanes are made from steel. The steel is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint. The finish should last for a reasonable amount of time but in time if the steel rods and brackets weather they can be painted with an exterior metal paint such as Hammerite which restores the finish and will help preserve and extend the life of the fittings. Clear mastic can also be used on any joints for example where the rod is inserted and secured into the bracket to seal and further weatherproof and prolong the life of the steel bracket and rod
