COMMENTS
OVERVIEW
GERMANIA NOVA is a replica of the famous 1908 schooner ‘Germania’ using identical hull lines, the same sail and deck plans, and faithful replicas of the original deck houses, skylights and companionways. The original Germania, designed by Max Oertz, was built for Dr. Gustav Krupp, and won the 1908 Cowes Week and many other regattas except, for obvious reasons, when competing against Kaiser Wilhelm’s Meteor. In 1912 she competed in 19 regattas winning 10 and coming second three times. Her racing career ended with the outbreak of the First World War and eventually she was sunk in a storm off Key Biscayne in 1930.
GERMANIA NOVA is an admirable achievement, with all of the charm and nostalgia of the Edwardian Era, combined with modern comfort and conveniences. She is in Class and carries MCA LY2 designation.
GERMANIA NOVA provides guests the opportunity to experience a gentle, relaxing sail or by contrast an exhilarating experience at sea. Including bowsprit, GERMANIA is an impressive 60m in overall length, and carries 1,200m2 of sail area.
GERMANIA NOVA was built as the same yard as the well-respected 55 metre Herreshoff schooner Elena who has been racing Eleonora (recreation of Westward), Adela (fully restored 55 meter schooner) and Meteor (Huisman recreation) in recent regattas.It will be a fine day to see GERMANIA NOVA on the race course with these yachts.
GERMANIA NOVA is offered for sale and the rare opportunity exists to join a very exclusive fraternity.
