I bought this boat in Copenhagen, could you help me find out what class it
is because I really don't have a clue
Length is 1390 mm, beam 280 mm, mast 1680 mm, boom 570
mm weight ca 6-8 kg. Some of the medals on the back date back to 1933
Comment from Russell Potts
This looks like an interesting and possibly important boat. From the silver
plaques on the stern, which I take to be records of her racing successes,
she dates from the 1930s and was used in serious competition. The clubs I
don't of course know, but it is possible that the present Danish model yachting
authority will be able to help. They are at soeren_andresen@yahoo.dk
Can we have more info? Any sail markings? A profile view would also be helpful.
On what we have so far, she might be a 6-meter to the international Rule of
1930.
The Scandinavians sailed some of the classes used in the UK, but also, I think
some local classes. The steering gear is very simple, not to say primitive
for the period and may be a local solution appropriate to open water sailing
and handling the boats from skiffs.
Where did the boat come from? do we have any history from the seller?
