CLASSIC SIX METRE NEWSLETTER

steel and oak frames, Oregon pine decks and silver spruce mast. Caresse is also equipped
with bronze winches from Meissner.
Caresse was launched again in 2001 and sold to Germany a little later to be mainly sailed at
lake Constance more than 85 years after the first owner took possession.
11. CAN 8 Carin II (G. Kyntzell, 1937), by Chris Wittstock (Canada)
Carin II’s first name was Alic and then
Carin, possibly after Count Julenberg's wife.
She went to Canada early 50's. Her name
changed to Carin II, supposedly because
there was already a boat called Carin on the
registry ( not a 6).
She is as usual at Lallows, Cowes.
12. US 65 Challenge (A.E. Luders, 1934), by Michael Durland (U.S.A.)
Challenge is owned by Kat Fennell and me.
We were a bit behind the curve against the other 6's at our regatta on Orcas Island last
September, but I can attribute that 10% to a used genoa and 90% operator error.
Challenge is back in the shed for the winter and will get the final hull fairing and a shiny coat
of paint this year. Last year we were so excited to go sailing (after a restoration), we did not
fair the hull.
We may start the season at the Victoria B.C. Swiftsure end of May and the fleet will have a
separate course at Port Townsend the first weekend in June at the Classic Yacht Regatta.
