Swedish square metre yachts (1922)
Swedish square metre yachts racing off the lighthouse Gastholmsgrund in Kanholmsfjärden, Stockholm archipelago, on June 5, 1922. The boat closest is publisher and entrepreneur Erik Åkerlund´s 95-S8 Britt-Marie, designed by Tore Holm and built by Holms Yachtvarv, Gamleby, in 1921. The 21.27 metre (LOA) Britt-Marie was for many years one of the fastest yachts in Sweden and won many races already during her debut year. The boat behind Britt-Marie is 150-S1 Ebella, designed by August Plym in 1920.
My restoration and colorization of Bertil Norberg´s photo in the Digital Museum archive.
Fortunately Britt-Marie is well preserved and sailing:classicsailboats.org/portf.../tore-holm-britt-marie/
