All 8 metres arrive on big trailers with trucks. T All 8 metres arrive on big trailers with trucks. This is a well organised circus since not always do we have so much space as this time at la trinité sur mer, Brittany, France. At the preparation of the World Championship Regatta of 2014. This time all the eights were lined up and that gave a nice view. One that is very common with smaller daysailers…  #8mr #sailing #yachtinglifestyle #vintagestyle #voileblanche

Edit was commissioned by Mr. Gösta Cederberg at Åbo Båtsvarv in Turku, Finland to a design by Alfred Mylne from Scotland. In 1993 Wilhem Wagner from Bodman, Germany bought her. Wilhelm owns the well-known Wagner boatyard in Bodman where Edit was lovingly restored. For the past 30 years he has sailed her in just about any regatta on Lake Constance but also entered her in several European and World Championships. #alfredmylne #alfredmylnedesign #8mrworlds #lakeconstance #firstrule8mR #8mR #gaffrigged #beautyofsailing
