43' Mylne Sloop (1925) - GOMETRA

By the time a yacht is close to a century old it will have tales to tell, but few can match GOMETRA’s life story, in particular as one of two British yachts that saved Norway’s gold reserves during the Second World War as deck cargo to Canada. Add impeccable Alfred Mylne design and build pedigree – one of his finest fast cruiser-racers at this size – to a recent comprehensive and passionate restoration, and you have arguably the perfect classic 40 footer with an easy to handle sloop rig yet powerful enough to offer an nice turn of speed, a large, safe and sociable cockpit, and a fully green, self-charging Lithium Ion electric auxiliary propulsion system.
