International Six Meter racing yacht built to Rule 2. Designed by Johan Anker and built by Anker and Jensen in 1931.
She was built as the personal yacht of Johan Anker and in her he won the Scandinavian Gold Cup in Gothenburg in 1931. In 1932 she was sold to the great helmsman Magnus Konow who won the Gold Cup and the One Ton Cup. In 1933 she was sold to the UK and was converted for cruising around 1935and spent much of her time after this on the Hamble.
In 2003 she was purchased by a well known member of the meter boat community, rebuilt and raced successfully at various events around Europe.
Purchased by the current owner in 2019, she then went through a major refit involving serious structural repairs and improvements, a complete new rig and all new systems. Clare Lallows yard on the Isle of Wight, together with an experienced yacht surveyor, completed a structural refit including new planking, frames and rudder replacement.
The yacht is now offered in full racing trim, optimised to a very high level and fully equipped for racing in the Six Meter series.
Top professionals have been engaged at all stages of the design and build to ensure the hull, rig and systems are as good as they could possibly be. The rig was designed in conjunction with various people including Tim Dean Consultancy Ltd.
Now under UK flag, this Six Metre yacht is sailing under the sail number GBR32. Raced at the 2023 Worlds in Cowes and finished 11th overall.
Offered for sale individually, but could be boughtas part of a pair in conjunction with Silvervingen. The systems, rigs and racing set up are identical on each boat making for exciting sailing as part of a team.
