Varuna is one of the very first 12 m yachts built under the international meter rules established in 1906. She was built according to the drawings of A. Richardson in Dartmouth by Philip & Son Shipyard and launched in 1909. Her original name was White Heather. Richardson’s design was built upon the need to create a hull which was appropriate to the formula of the 12 meter class, but in doing so he created a design similar to Britannia, King George V’s royal yacht (though smaller in proportion.) After a very careful restoration at Cantieri di Imperia, Italy between 2000 and 2003 she has taken part in many classic yacht races in the Mediterranean and her lovely and graceful shape is one of the nicest of the classic yacht circuit. Varuna looks like an old fashioned fast English gaff cutter. She is an extremely fascinating boat with elegant lines and a simple yet lovely interior.
