Mariska D1
Barcelona
The Mariska truly is a very special boat. Designed by the famous Boat designer William Fife III, construction began in 1903. She set of her initial racing career in 1908 and raced until 1939.
After she was bought by her current owner in 2020, she was relocated to Barcelona. Now the Mariska is free to be chartered for various regattas around the world.
In 2007 the Mariska was relocated to France after being found abandoned in the Netherlands. In France she underwent a 2.5 year long complete restoration and 25000 worked man-hours. She was then relaunched in September 2009.
Setting her sails in 1908, the Mariska is the oldest out of four still existing yachts of the 15mR racing class. But until this day she is still competing at the highest level of racing!
Despite her age the Mariska is still a very successful competitor and won the 15mR class trophy in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017!
