Whether you are in the bath, the paddling pool or heading to the local duck pond there is nothing quite like a traditional wooden sailing boat. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for the perfect vessel for Monty and here is what I found.

Top row, left to right: Blue sailing boat 14cm long £4.50, Ogas Pirate Ship £19.99, Small sailing boat 10cm long £3.95 each.

Bottom row, left to right: Large red sailing boat by Vilac 24.5cm long £34.50, Wooden sailing boat with detachable motor 22cm long £20.80, Skipper sailing yacht 20cm long £14.95.
