Wooden Ships Comments on this Sparkman & Stephens One Ton Cup Yacht
Design No.1710-C8 by Sparkman and Stephens, built by the Paul Molich Shipyard, Denmark in 1966.
The yacht was commissioned by Swede Claus Turitz, World Champion in the One Ton Cup of 1966 and she raced in the 1968 One Ton Cup championships.
