Historical:
The 1927 Abeking & Rasmussen 10mR BRANTA is one of 14 boats built to a W. Starling Burgess Design for a New York client. She is one of only two remaining boats from that series, and has been in the same ongoing ownership for three generations. BRANTA is single planked mahogany on alternating steel and oak ribs, the planks have been splined during the 1980´s and she is in a very good and sound state of condition. BRANTA has been a true family cruiser over the years and has participated in various club races ever since, winning quite some of the races she entered.
