Gadling Gift Guide: a, um, Schooner

OK, this one may be out of your price range,
but I figured it was worth mentioning anyway. Over at
Luxist
we learn that you can go and bid on a replica of the first America’s Cup winner, the schooner America.
The ship will be auctioned off on December 14 at the
Royal Thames Yacht Club in London.

Sure, the original ship was destroyed in 1942, but apprently the replica is spot on, and would make the
perfect gift for your favorite little sailor. Of course, the big question is: how much is she? Well, according to
the site, the schooner is expected to sell for between $2.5 to $3.5 million. Pocket change to some.
