Here you will find information not only about different classic yachts but also the designers and different classes.

When looking at the history of classic yachts you will soon find that there is a large amount of local racing types developed over the years, some soon grew in to large international racing classes, like the “meter rule” yachts or the Dragons witch used to be an Olympic class racing yacht.

We also have a large forum with anything from tips and tricks on how to renovate and maintain a classic yacht, parts and info source finding, classic yacht racing and of course a section of buy and sell classic yachts.

All classic yacht info and forums are free to access but you will have to register (free of course) to access some parts or post in the forums. Register users also get a free blog (dairy) where they can write about there yacht and post pictures of the yachts or maybe even of its restoration!

Owning or restoring a classic sailing boat can be a time consuming thing and having the support from others doing the same thing online can be a very good thing, not only to get help and advice but to keep you motivated in the difficult times that anyone with a wooden yacht get to experience some times!

 Dafne is a very rare Gaff rigged Ten Metre designed by a well known Swedish designer in 1907 and built at Loftholmsvarfet in the Swedish Archipelago. She also raced as a 90 sq metre class.

The Meter class was introduced in 1907 and hence Dafne is one of the oldest Metre class afloat and in excellent condition having been in the same ownership for the last 27 years. In 2004 she enjoyed a complete professional refit at Spirit Yachts Yard in Ipswich where she was restored to practically her original condition. Her original lines and builder drawings are still excisting.
