The boat was designed and built in 1969 by Willy Lehman in Berlin. Initially she was given the sail number G20 and the name of “Michel”. In 1978 she was purchased by a new owner in Switzerland, receiving a new sail number (Z)SUI52 and the name of “Nisida”. During these years she took part to several international events, achieving excellent results:

Year	Event	Location	Ranking
1975	World Cup	Sandham, Sweden	4th
1977	World Cup	Marstrand, Sweden	9th
1978	European Championship	Alassio, Italy	5th
1980	European Championship	Geneva, Switzerland	5th
1988	World Cup	Falmouth, UK	11th

In 2002 the boat changed hands again and was moved to Noirmoutier on the French Atlantic coast, taking the sail number F69. The current owner purchased her in 2019 and brought her back to Switzerland, on Geneva Lake (Versoix). Under her new name “Gedale”, SUI52 is regularly sailing and participating in all the events of Challenge Lemanique. Her magnificent mahogany hull and teak deck as well as the aluminium mast (replaced in 2003) are sound and SUI52 is performing well, particularly upwind and in medium-light weather conditions. However, a thorough revision of running rig and a new set of sails will be required to fully deliver her potential.
