BEAUTIFUL 10 M R-YACHT IN MAHOGANY. THIS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL 10 METER YACHT was built in Svendborg in 1923 by Sophus Weber. The boat's name is AAWORYN. Building number 10 D5. THIS UNIQUE YACHT HAS WON SEVERAL RACES AROUND THE WORLD - IT'S EVEN EXTREMELY FAST - AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE COMFORT ON BOARD SHOULD BE IN ORDER.
Built on a cross frame. Hull white painted mahogany above the waterline, pine below the waterline.
The current owner - since 1979 - has completely restored the boat in the years between 1979 and 1988.
The hull is epoxy treated (West method), new table, keel plank, deck, Origonpine on Plywood, various frames and much more. The boat got a new mast in 2007.
This "Eyecatcher" is being sold ONLY due to age…. Owner's age.
However, the owner is still an active sailor – this summer (2018) he sailed 1,500 nautical miles singlehanded in the boat...

The international 10-meter class is a construction class, which means that the boats are not identical, but are all designed to meet specific measurement formula, in this case the international rule. In their heyday, Meter classes were the most important group of international sailing, and they are still actively racing 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 handicapping systems which were often local or at best national.
