Solveig Class sloop                                                 This is one of 5 Solveigs built by Georges Duer in 1961 at his yard at Versoix on Lac Leman, Switzerland. The yard is still active run by son Philippe, a highly successful Swiss yacht race skipper. Maurice Amiet had several designs built by Swiss yards.   The class was designed by Frenchman Maurice Amiet and the first yacht of, we believe, 15 yachts to the class was built by Felix Silvestrio in Nice in 1956.   The design owes much to the Swedish Tumlar with some indications of a Folkboat influence. They raced in RORC Class C.   Sarilla spent some years in Italy before being imported to Ipswich in 1982 to race on the East Coast. In present ownership since 1990, she has been steadily improved and brought up to her current very smart condition.   In 1990 the hull was stripped to bare wood and varnished. New instruments and WC fitted.   Major refit 2004-2007 at Universal Shipyard, Hamble:             New mast by Collars             Deck sheathed in epoxy/glass             New toe rail             New stanchions             New engine and fuel tank             One additional keel bolt forward             New cushions and curtains             New galley             New deck hardware             New standing rigging             New main sheet track             New blade No 3 headsail   Length on deck                                   27’2” Lwl                                                      22’2” Beam                                                   7’4” Draft                                                   5’ Displ                                     &nbs
