Yachts

12 Metre yachts are the most fascinating racing sailboats ever built. They have a beauty and size that, along with their America’s Cup history, has attracted and intrigued yachtsmen since 1907.

Before their America’s Cup debut in 1958, where they competed until 1987, 12 Metre boats were used in the 1908, 1912 and 1920 Olympic games.

Typically, 12 Metre Class boats range from about 20 to 23 m in length overall, they are most often sloop-rigged, with masts about 26 m tall.

A fleet of about 15 pre-WWII vintage yachts (Division C, D & E) primarily from
Germany, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden have been meticulously renovated
and are racing in northern Europe.

Quite a few number of these vintage yachts will participate in the Marstrand 12 Metre Cup in september this summer. Subsequently, as they register for participation, they will be shown below. For the time being we only show just a few yachts to give you an idea of their magnificence.
