International SixMeter racing yacht built to Rule 3. 

Designed by Tore Holm and built by Hagerstens Batvarv, Swedenin 1939.

At the outbreak of WWII, Silvervingen was laid upand not sailed until after the war. Tore Holm designed a cruising interior and small coachroof for her, but she went on to race successfully throughout the 1940’s and 1950’s under various different names.

Purchased in 2004 by the previous owner, Silvervingen was in a sorry state and needing a thorough rebuild. Over a 9 year period the deck was removed and the hull slowly put back into shape to reinstate the original sheer line. The wooden keel was replaced and new ballast keel bolts fitted. Over 70 frames were replaced in streamed oak and all the galvanised plate floors were renewed. A new deck was fitted with 12mm plywood overlaid with Oregon pine.

She was then sold into UK ownership and a major period of upgrading commenced to optimise the yacht for racing in the 6m series. The basic boat was in excellent conditionand needed little structural repair,but the rig was renewed entirely, the deck hardware layout professionally re-designed and all new electronic systems fitted.

The yacht is now offered in full racing trim, optimised to a very high level and fully equipped for racing in the 6 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.

The boat was raced in the 2023 6m Worlds and finished 3rd overall in the Classic Division. This is a yacht at the top of her game, in superb condition and fitted out to a supremely high level.

Offered for sale individually, but could be bought as part of a pair in conjunction with Abu. The systems, rigs and racing set up are identical on each boat making for exciting sailing as part of a team.
