Off Center Harbor's Remarks
VINST looks like she is speeding through the water even on her mooring. But that’s what Knud Reimers’ designs were known for.
Description from Boat's Main Listing
VINST is a Knud Reimers-designed 42-foot LOA 22 Square Meter built in 1941 at the Rotholmen’s yard in Stockholm, Sweden. She was built to the Square Meter Rule, a 1907 Swedish Sailing Federation class rule that led to some of the most radical, forward-thinking, beautiful boats of the era.
Knud Reimers was among the rule’s most talented and prolific designers and VINST is a prime example of his work. She has characteristic low freeboard, narrow beam, long graceful ends and low-profile cabin house. The cockpit is optimized for racing and the interior very minimalist.
VINST is a composite boat with copper riveted mahogany planking over white oak and steel frames, and laminated oak and mahogany deck beams. The deck-stepped, laminated Sitka spruce mast is fractional, heavily raked, and tear drop in section. The backstay is on a cascading purchase and runners are tensioned by ratcheting wheels mounted under the side decks in the cockpit. Her deck hardware has been thoughtfully upgraded. Everything leads back to the cockpit, and she carries inventory of 13 sails.
VINST is perfect for an experienced sailor looking for a beautiful, minimalist, performance-oriented boat for daysailing and classics/PHRF racing. She’s stunning to look at, sails extremely well, has a great pedigree, and is in very good condition. VINST is currently stored at her owner’s home in Monroe, ME, and ready for showings.
