Historical:
The original drawings for Svea were made in 1937 by the renowned Swedish designer Tore Holm. They had the greatest waterline length and maximum rating allowed under the Universal Rule which determined eligibility for the America’s Cup. Svea was never built and the plans were lost for decades. Discovered by historian John Lammerts van Bueren, the construction of Svea was commissioned by an avid racer who wished to participate in the 2017 America’s Cup Superyacht Regatta and J-Class Regatta in Bermuda.
