When Charles Stuart, the future king of England visited the Netherlands, in 1660, he was impressed with the small, quick pleasure boats the Dutch called "yachts". The Dutch presented him with such a vessel, and he brought the sport of yachting home to England. Charles II loved yachts, and during his reign he owned nearly thirty of them. He named his first yacht after his sister Mary, and the rest after his wives and mistresses.

Mamoli's Yacht Mary is double-planked in beech and walnut. Tanganyka and mahogany is used for trim and deck furniture. Keel, frames, decking and display stand are pre-cut. Ready to use fittings are made of hardwood, brass and bronzed metal. The lavish ornamentation supplied with the kit is usually reserved for much larger models. Hull decorations and transom are bronzed metal, and eight cannon mounted on walnut carriages grace her decks. Nine sheets of plans with step-by-step instructions make for easy building.
