The living tradition of
Square Meter Yachts

Slim wooden hulls, towering masts, little freeboard and trunk cabins.

How to recognize a Square Meter Yacht? Look for the longest hull-overhangs ever to slice the seas. In the era leading up to and between the World Wars, this silhouette signified the cutting edge of design technology. Today, these signs are a dead give-away that the owner is not just your run of the mill sail speed freak. A love of classic elegance is just as important. Square Meter yachts are not only easily handled, lightweight and seaworthy - they are still the fastest displacement sailboats in a world for a given sail area.
