{"title":"Murano Glass Sailing Boats","description":"\u003cp\u003eVenice was a republic that lived entirely by sea for a thousand years, and the sail is still the shape the city thinks in. In glass it becomes something canvas never could be: transparent, curved as though full of wind, and lit from inside whenever the sun finds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sail is the whole difficulty. It must be drawn out by hand into a single sheet, thin enough to glow, held in a convincing curve, and fused to the hull in the few seconds before the glass sets. On our giant boats — over half a metre, with mainsail and spinnaker — that takes a master and an assistant working in silence for most of a day. Very few are made each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom twenty-eight centimetres to museum scale, in clear glass or real gold leaf. Every piece arrives with a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/authenticity\"\u003ecertificate of authenticity\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/shipping\"\u003efully insured worldwide shipping\u003c\/a\u003e.
