BEAUTIFUL 10 METER R-YACHT IN MAHOGANY AND FIR ON OAK.

THIS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL 10 METER YACHT was built in Svendborg in 1923 by Sophus Weber.

The boat's name is AAWORYN. Construction number 10 D5.

THIS UNIQUE YACHT HAS WON SEVERAL RACES AROUND THE WORLD - IT IS EVEN EXTREMELY FAST - WHILE THE COMFORT ON BOARD SHOULD BE IN ORDER.

Built on cross frames. Hull painted white mahogany above the waterline, fir below the waterline.

Current owner - since 1979 - has completely restored the boat between 1979 and 1988.

The hull has been epoxy-treated (West method), new planks, keel plank, deck, Oregon pine on plywood, various frames, and much more. The boat received a new mast in 2007.

This "Eyecatcher" is ONLY being sold due to age... The owner's age.

However, the owner is still an active sailor - this summer (2018) he sailed 1,500 nautical miles singlehandedly in the boat...

The international 10-meter class is a design class, which means that the boats are not identical but are all designed to meet specific measurement formulas, in this case, the international rule. In their heyday, Meter classes were the most important group of international races, and they are still actively running around the world. "10" is a product of the formula; 10mR boats are on average 16.5 meters long.

10mR was used as an Olympic class in the 1912 and 1920 Olympics. The international rule was established in 1907 to replace earlier, simpler handicap systems, which were often local or at best national.
