Acerca de este William Fife & Son 8mR

English

"SASKIA" International 8mR (K26), built by William Fife & Son is the most iconic 8mR ever built.

Seawanhaka Cup winner 1931, 1936 Berlin Olympic boat for the British team & Sayonara Cup (Australia) winner in 1955, to mention but a few of her achievements. 

She has been meticulously maintained by her current owner since 2011 and is ready to turn heads wherever she goes. Fresh from a 2nd place in the Neptune Classic Class at the 8 Meter World Cup held at the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club 2024, she is also ready to race.

Potted history

Potted history

Saskia was designed in 1930 and built by William Fife III as a Royal Northern Yacht Club challenge for the Seawanhaka Cup, so very hotly contested at the time. The 1931 event was hosted on the Clyde by her home club and she won!

Saskia was sold south where she raced very successfully in the Solent. There were nine 8 metres racing on the Solent at the time and eight on the Clyde. A Sterling silver model of the boat now resides in the Royal Yacht Squadron.

She was chosen to represent Britain in the Berlin Olympics of 1936, the sailing events being held at Kiel. The commemorative plaque marking the event is still displayed aboard. 

Saskia raced hard and in 1938 alone she raced in over 50 races during the season with astonishing success.

In 1954, the well known Australian yachtsman, Sir William Northam, bought Saskia and shipped her to Sydney with the specific objective of winning the Sayonara Cup which had been the symbol of pre-eminence in big-boat, round the buoys racing in Australia since 1904. Saskia won the Cup for the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron ending 34 years of dominance by the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria. She remained at her mooring at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron winning many races for the next 52 years. She is also represented in the Sydney Yacht Squadron with a Sterling Silver Model

In 2007 she was shipped back to the UK to take part in that year’s celebration of 100 years of Metre Rule Sailing. She competed at the Centennial World Championships on the Clyde where she won her class and the Sira Cup. She then went on to win the Eight Metre Class at the Metre Class Centenary Regatta at Cowes.

From 2013-2017 she consistently won her class in the Cowes Panerai British Classic Yacht Club Week and in 2013 she won the Panerai overall prize, including the prestigious Concours d’Elegance award.

From 2017-Now Saskia is still the boat to beat in all respects and she has been the delight of Murdoch McKillop her current custodian.
