Norfolk has mermaids, Nags Head has nags, and Portsmouth has sailboats!  These five-foot-high mounted replicas are a symbol of Portsmouth's maritime past, present and future.  Sold blank, they can be painted (like the Partnership's own boat, below left) or can have graphics applied, like Mayor Jim Holley's or Mr. Bill Magann's boats (center and right). 

These high-quality models are produced by Cary's Yacht Services of Portsmouth.  A percentage of the proceeds goes to the Portsmouth Partnership Foundation.  For more information, please contact Betty Jo Gwaltney at 397-8473 or gwaltneyb@portsmouthpartnership.org.
