History
In 1909, William Fife designed a first rule 8mR racing yacht for Mr Soderman who later vanished in India. The yacht was eventually finished in Finland at the Abo Batvarf yard in 1910. Later that same year the Nyland’s Yacht Club decided to raffle off the 41′ 7″ William Fife III designed yacht, and the “Lucky Girl” who won the raffle was three year old Lucy Tallberg. In late May of 1910 Lucy’s father, Gunnar Tallberg took possession of the vessel, which was later filed in the 1911 Lloyd’s Register of Yachts.
