Sailors, Oslo II built in 1926, needs a new home. She arrived in Seattle in 1937, after my parents saw her forlorn shape in Oslo Harbor, while on their honeymoon.

Oslo II was designed and built by Anchor and Jensen for Prince Olav, who raced her for a time, winning her first Regatta, the Cowes Regatta.

She has cruised throughout Puget Sound and into B.C., with our family aboard, and won many races in those waters over decades, including the Sir Thomas Lipton Cup, four times.

Oslo was one of the first 6’s in Seattle and is now the oldest. In the 1960’s the Seattle Six Meter fleet was a world renown fleet of Champions.

The Giese family has maintained her through the years, with the help of a local boatbuilder, Anchor Jensen. Oslo has had extensive repairs through the years, in 1996 in Port Townsend and 2012 at the Jesperson Boatyard. The iron floors were replaced with bronze, several planks were replaced, with bronze fasteners, the rudder pintles were replaced with bronze, the rudder shaft was turned into stainless, and oak frames were added. Repair records are available. The deck was replaced and fiberglassed.

The mast is original and in beautiful shape, as is the tiller. The mast was dry stored every winter for several decades and always varnished annually. The boom was replaced in 1972. The sails are well used ; main, genoa, drifter, storm jib, spinnaker.

Oslo II still sails like a dream. In hot summer the planks shrink and there is some leakage whilst heeling. An honorable home is what she needs most, a satisfactory price is of secondary importance”.
