Used 1939
Location:
Coatham Mundeville
Description:
The most important of Tore Holm’s designs were to the International Rule, and ATHENA ex ILDERIM might be case in point. With her stunning all-varnished hull, and designer’s signature rounded and faired to deck cabin top, she beat many of the fastest 8s in the Mediterranean immediately before the Second World War. ATHENA has regularly raced internationally on the 8-Metre circuit and has benefited from an impressive maintenance regime in her last two ownerships. And if ever there was an International 8m R you might want to cruise as well as race, ATHENA might well be the boat. Her current owners remain enthusiastic about this yacht returning to her native Sweden and are realistic in regard to price if a VAT payment becomes relevant. Having bought the boat in the autumn of 2006, our first racing season was 2007. In that year, we took her to the Clyde to take part in the Centennial World Cup. She later competed at World Cup regattas at Hyeres (2009), Cowes (2012), La Trinite (2014), Hanko (2017) and Cowes, again, in 2019. Fortunes varied, but with an amateur ethos in the crew we have thoroughly enjoyed sailing this beautiful boat against the best in the World. She has also taken part in the Panerai Classic series in the Solent for the last ten years. ATHENA has been sailing and racing pretty well continuously ever since she was built, but she has nevertheless had two major refits. The first of these was in her home country of Sweden over the period, and the second was shortly after arriving in the UK in 2002. Since then she has been boat-yard maintained, initially by the Metre Shed at Universal Boatyard, Hamble, and latterly by Lallows at Cowes. Both these yards have highly professional and experienced wooden boat building personnel, and she has spent every winter out of the water and under cover. ATHENA was designed and built as ILDERIM in 1939 to 3rd International Rule for Swedish banker Marcus Wallenberg Jr at Tore Holm's Gamleby yard,. Still available at ListedBuy!
