JENETTA is another spectacular project at Robbe & Berking Classics. We are restoring the 3rd rule 12 Metre class yacht JENETTA, designed by Alfred Mylne, who was one of the most experienced 12 Metre designers in the world. Mylne designed her in 1939 for Sir William Burton and she was the 4th and last 12 Metre for Burton who was the best English gentleman sailor in the 1920s and president of the I.Y.R.U. at that time, being the helmsman of Shamrock IV in the 1920 Americas Cup for his friend and business partner Sir Thomas Lipton. In 1939 not less than four new Twelves entered the English regatta scene, with JENETTA being the most promising

JENETTA is another spectacular project at Robbe & Berking Classics. We are restoring the 3rd rule 12 Metre class yacht JENETTA, designed by Alfred Mylne, who was one of the most experienced 12 Metre designers in the world. Mylne designed her in 1939 for Sir William Burton and she was the 4th and last 12 Metre for Burton who was the best English gentleman sailor in the 1920s and president of the I.Y.R.U. at that time, being the helmsman of Shamrock IV in the 1920 Americas Cup for his friend and business partner Sir Thomas Lipton. In 1939 not less than four new Twelves entered the English regatta scene, with JENETTA being the most promising construction besides of T.O.M. Sopwith´s TOMAHAWK. During the 1939 races JENETTA was the only boat being capable of beating Vanderbilt`s 1939 S&S construction VIM by 2 seconds on a 27nm race. VIM´s dominance on the track back then is sad to be based on Vanderbilt´s exceptional sailing abilities and the fact that VIM was hard to beat on the upwind leg due to the grinder/ winch setup which enabled the crew to tack rather quickly. During the upcoming season Jenetta will once more proof her potential as soon as she has been launched in spring to participate in the 12mR circuit in the Baltic Sea and to continue the race history of those good old days.
