Not happy with your results at the 2025 Six Metre Worlds? Maybe it’s time to rethink your boat. The 2025 Six Metre Worlds just wrapped up at Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club in Oyster Bay, showcasing some of the finest classic yachts in the sport. Scoundrel has proven what a winning 6 Metre looks like — last year, she showed the fleet how it’s done, and she’s ready for her next challenge. A 1989 Litton International 6 Metre, Scoundrel combines timeless pedigree with modern competitiveness. From her victories at the 1994 European Championship and 1997 World Championship to her remarkable return after a full restoration, she has a long history of top-level performance. Most recently, she added three consecutive Open Division World Championship titles, most recently in 2024. Equipped with a Harken hydraulic system, advanced electronics, and an extensive sail inventory, she offers the perfect blend of classic elegance and championship-ready speed. For the right owner, Scoundrel is a chance to step directly into a winning tradition — and maybe even onto the Worlds stage yourself. 📩 Scoundrel is available now.

This weekend, Newport is where classic meets modern. The 12 Metre North American Championship is underway in Newport, Rhode Island, a preview of next year’s 12 Metre Worlds. Thanks to a new rating system developed by Peter Gerald, Modern and Classic 12 Metres are lining up together in pursuit-style racing—different generations competing head-to-head for the same trophy. Three Classics and one Modern are racing this weekend, with our President, Ralf Steitz, on board Courageous. Defender, a Modern 12, is cut from the same pedigree and built for exactly this kind of competition. With her proven speed and responsiveness, she shows just how well the Modern 12s stand up against the Classics under this system. As the fleet experiments with this format in Newport, it highlights the versatility and relevance of Modern 12s like Defender. She’s not just part of history—she’s built for the racing of today and tomorrow. #International12Metre #PerformanceRacing #12Metre #SailNewport #ClassicYachts #OffshoreRacing 📸 Chris Tucker (fb)
