12mR „Anita“: Klassiker-Clubyacht im neuen Look – „Endlich ein echter Zwölfer“

Anitas neue attraktivität.

Auf Youtube ist der Zwölfer „Anita“ ist ein -Star. Das Video von einer Orkanfahrt fand größte Beachtung. Nach einiger Zeit in der Werft fehlt ihr nun ein besonderes Merkmal.

„Anita“ mit ihrer neuen Beseglung.

ANITA liegt am Steg der Robbe & Berking Werft in Flensburg. Der neue Mast ist geriggt,  das Achterstag neu durch das Achterschiff geführt und am Achtersteven verbolzt, die Püttingeisen aus hochfestem Spezialstahl sind eingebaut, die Anschlagpunkte für die Backstagen verlegt und verstärkt. Der Zwölfer ANITA hat sich hübsch gemacht für die neue Saison.

So attraktiv ist „Anita“.

Aber irgendetwas ist anders. Richtig, der Besanmast fehlt. Zum ersten Mal seit der Kieler Woche 1939 segelt der „Rhein Main-Zwölfer“ ( ausführliches SR-Porträt ) als Slup. Seit Anfang der 60er Jahre war ANITA als Yawl unterwegs. Die handlichere zweimastige und kleinere Takelage anstelle des Meterklassen-üblichen Slupriggs war besser zum Fahrtensegeln geeignet. Und mit diesem Rigg legte sie auf Langfahrten und Klassikerevents gut 400.000 Seemeilen zurück.

Das Rigg der „Thea“

Doch bei den Regatten der wiederbelebten Klassiker-Flotte war ANITA mit dieser Beseglung chancenlos. Der Wunsch nach dem ursprünglichen Slup-Rigg bestand schon lange. Schließlich entwickelte sich im Herbst 2016 nach Gesprächen mit den Verantwortlichen des dänischen Zwölfers D1, „Thea“ die Möglichkeit, das Rigg der Dänin zu erwerben.

Joachim Arndt von der gemeinnützigen GmbH der Segelvereinigung Rheingau SVR verhandelte mit Patrick Howaldt von der „Thea“. Würde das Rigg auf ANITA passen? Die Bau- und Konstruktionsmaße mussten geprüft, Statik und Lastaufnahmen untersucht und mit der Robbe & Berking Werft die Verlängerung des Mastes erwogen werden. Die Daten passten, Howaldt schlug ein und für die Betreiber der ANITA ist nun ein Traum in Erfüllung gegangen.

Schließlich wird ANITA nicht wie die meisten ihrer schönen Zwölfer-Schwestern von einem Eigner unterhalten, sondern ist das Clubschiff des Segel Club Rheingau. Den Heimathafen in Waluff am Rhein bei Wiesbaden hat sie allerdings noch nie gesehen.

Einsatz und Hingabe

Betrieben wird die ANITA mit viel Einsatz und Hingabe von den gut 120 Mitgliedern des Fördervereins der Freunde der ANITA e.V. Die Sanierung und der Erhalt wurden über die vergangenen sieben Jahre mit der Unterstützung von mehr als 80 Spendern und Darlehensgebern privat aufgebracht. Viele hundert Stunden Eigenleistung flossen ein.

ANITA im neuen Glanz mit nur einem Mast.

2011/2012 nahm sich ANITA eine kleine Auszeit, als das Unterwasserschiff auf der Bootswerft in Gilleleje saniert und Elektrik und Tanktechnik erneuert wurden. Seitdem ist die Yacht wieder intensiv auf Klassiker-Events, Jugend- und Zubringertörns gesegelt worden.

Karfreitag wurde die Jugendcrew des SCR mit neun Jugendlichen unter der Führung von Moritz Eider und Skipper Peter Eider senior, noch einmal intensiv in die Änderungen der ANITA und die Besonderheiten des neuen Riggs eingewiesen, dann legte Joachim Arndt unter Maschine ab.

Erster Schlag auf der Förde

Die Flensburger Förde zeigt alles was sie hat im April – Sonne, Regen, Hagel, Wind, Böen. Dann wird erstmals das 130 m² Groß hochgekurbelt – Vorsicht mit den neuen Backstagen! ANITA legt sich leicht nach Steuerbord und beschleunigt. Die Arbeitsfock mit 40 m² soll heute bei angesagten 4 – 6 Bft genug sein. Dann geht es raumschots aus der Innenförde.

Der erste Schlag mit dem einen Mast.

Die Logge zeigt schnell über 9 Knoten. Es ist alles noch ein wenig ungewohnt und so entscheiden wir uns erst einmal für Q-Wenden statt Halsen. Sicherheit geht vor. Die jugendliche Crew hat Respekt und viel Spaß an den Manövern. Bei Holnis legen wir zwei Reffs ein für die Kreuz zurück. Aber auch mit dieser Besegelung kreuzt ANITA mit acht bis neun Knoten durch die Flensburger Förde.

Nach vier Stunden und einigen Schlägen legen wir wieder sicher am Steg von Robbe & Berking an. Ein kalter, wunderschöner Segeltag ist abgeschlossen. ANITA hat den ersten Tag als Slup nach 78 Jahren gut bestanden. Nun freuen wir uns auf viele schöne Segelsommer als „echter“ Zwölfer unter den Klassikern.

ANITA wird die verschiedenen Events des Freundeskreises klassischer Yachten Max-Oertz Regatta, The Run, Rendevouz der Klassiker, German Classics und die 12er events zur Kieler Woche, in Dyvig, Europameisterschaft in Glücksburg, Wessel & Vett Cup in Aarhus und verschiedene andere Events und Törns segeln. Auf einigen sind auch noch Plätze frei. Wer Lust hat einmal auf ANITA mit zu segeln meldet sich am besten über die homepage www.freundedersyanita.de .

Abeking und Rasmussen bauten 1928 sechs 12mR-Yachten im Auftrag des New York Yacht Club. Diese Boote wurden von Starling Burgess entworfen und zwei von ihnen sind noch am Segeln, eines davon ist Anitra. Ursprünglich wurde sie innerhalb von 5 Monaten gebaut und dann nach Kanada gebracht. Dann wurde sie nach New York gesegelt und im Laufe der Zeit nahmen sie dort an vielen Regatten teil. Sie wurde nach der zweiten Regel des 12mR-Reglements von 1928 gebaut. 2003 wurde Anitra in einem stark desolaten Zustand nach Deutschland gebracht, wo sie dann von Martin Yachts in Süddeutschland restauriert wurde. Viele Strukturteile wurden ersetzt und neu gebaut. Nach ihrer großen Überholung, die ihr ein nagelneues und schönes Aussehen verlieh, wurde Anitra nach Flensburg gebracht, wo sie an mehreren Regatten rund um die Förde und die dänische Südsee sowie an Welt- und Europameisterschaften teilnahm. Ihre Innenausstattung ist hochwertig und Anitra ist nicht nur ein gutes Regattaboot, sondern auch für große Touren geeignet. Sie ist komplett ausgestattet, so dass Urlaubsreisen oder lange Überführungen für Regatten überhaupt kein Problem darstellen.

Support for the 2024 International World Championship has been provided by our

The 2024 12 Metre World Championship is sanctioned by the International Twelve Metre Association (ITMA) and hosted by the Porquerolles Yacht Club with the Yacht Club de France.

THE YACHT CLUB de PORQUEROLLES celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2016. Its founding President Sébastien Le Ber and his friends, passionate about sailing, created the Yacht Club in 1986 with a view to making the most of the magnificent body of water which surrounds Porquerolles.

THE YACHT CLUB DE FRANCE, founded in 1867, remains faithful to its vocation: to contribute to the development of pleasure boating in all its forms; in cruises and in racing, defend and promote the values of solidarity, courtesy and moral elegance that animate all seafarers. Recognized as a public utility on the eve of the Great War, the Yacht Club de France is proud to have counted among its members Jules Verne, Virginie Hériot, Alain Gerbault, Commander Charcot, Marin-Marie, Eric Tabarly. Respect traditions, bring together the sailors of tomorrow.

THE COUPE DE FRANCE by YACHT CLUB DE FRANCE was created in 1891 to develop the building of racing vessels in France. For its 55th edition, the challenge reunites the 12mR Class for twelve events throughout the Mediterranean Sea.

THE INTERNATIONAL 12 METRE ASSOCIATION encompasses a living history of racing yacht design by the world’s foremost naval architects including Olin Stephens, Clinton Crane, William Fife III, Philip Rhodes, Johan Anker, Ben Lexcen and more who pushed their designs to the very limits of innovation. The resulting boats represented the pinnacle of yacht development from 1907-1987 for the highest levels of international sailing competition– the Olympic Games (1908-1920) and the America’s Cup (1958-1987).

2024 12mr worlds: nous sommes prêts, 2024 12mr world championship: nous sommes prêts.

PORQUEROLLES, FRANCE (June 14, 2024) – Sixteen of the most beautiful and storied International 12Metre Class yachts are now assembled in the harbor at the Yacht Club Porquerolles. Fourteen are ready to race at the 12 Metre World Championship organized by the Yacht Club de Porquerolles on an island just south of Hyères, France, from June 17-23, 2024.

The “rockstar” roll call of 2024 competitors includes previous and reigning World and European Champions, Olympic Medalists and America’s Cup sailors. The yachts themselves, each with a distinctive pedigree, are sailing legends in their own right.

Aurélie Lhuillier, Director of the Yacht Club de Porquerolles said, “It is a great pride for the Yacht Club de Porquerolles to host the 12m JI World Championship. We look forward to seeing all these exceptional boats moored in the port and then watching them race for five days in the Hyères harbor. For over a year, all the Yacht Club teams have been mobilized for this event which will be the highlight of the 2024 season.”

Because of the diversity in age and design of 100+ 12mR yachts built to the International Rule since 1907, the 12mR Class designates a separate World Champion in each of four 12mR Divisions. At this event World Champions will be named in the Grand Prix and Vintage Divisions with trophies awarded to the top 3 finishers in each group.

The 2024 12mR World Championship Competitors in the VINTAGE Division are:

• Flica II (K-14) , Christopher Bunning, BVI
• Jenetta (K-1) , Thomas Müller, DE
• La Spina (I-1) , Michael Creach, IT
• Nini Anker (N-15) , Christopher Avenarius, DE
• Northern Light (US-14) , Hans Eliasson, SW
• Thea (D-1) , Robert de Haer, DE
• Vim (US-15) , Patrick Howaldt, DN & Helmuth Henning, HK

With a number of exceptions, the VINTAGE Division yachts are centered primarily in ITMA’s Northern European region where they are frequent rivals on the 12mR race course. Over the past two decades, this fleet has enjoyed a renaissance in the Baltic Sea. Despite their ages –the eldest, D-1 is 106 years old– these yachts are in top racing trim in addition to being beautiful to behold. Vim (US-15) is the reigning World Champion (Finland, 2021) in this division but will be met with fierce opposition in a fleet stacked with very competitive teams.

“The waters of the Bay of Hyeres in Southern France will see 6 Grand Prix 12 Metres racing for their Divisional World Championship. This is the largest group of Grand Prix boats racing in many years. The resurgence of the class racing in the Med is truly spectacular. The Grand Prix boats will be joined by one Modern 12 and a highly motivated and competitive fleet of Vintage boats. Sunny skies, great 12 Metre racing and island life on Porquerolles sound good to me.” Chris Winter, President, International 12mR Association

The 2024 12mR World Championship Competitors in the GRAND PRIX Division are:

• Crusader (K-24) , Richard Matthews, UK
• France (F-1) *, Marc Bonduelle, FR
• French Kiss (F-7) , Christophe Babule, FR
• Kiwi Magic (KZ-7) , Christoffer Blach Petersen, DN
• Kookaburra II (KA-12) , Patrizio Bertelli, IT & Torben Grael, BR
• Kookaburra III (KA-15) , Jesper Banks, DN
• South Australia (KA-8) , Yann DelPlace, FR

*Being built for the 1970 America’s Cup, the national racing yacht of our host country France (F-1) is technically a member of the MODERN 12mR Division but as there are no other entries in this division, F-1 will sail with the GRAND PRIX Division on this auspicious occasion.

Although Legacy (KZ-5), the reigning World Champion in the GP Division will not be competing, the Olympian sailor that helmed KZ-5 to victory– Jesper Banks (DN) will be. He is skippering another 12mR– Kookaburra III (KA-15) to defend his own GP champion title in a group stacked with world-class sailors including Patrizio Bertelli’s (IT) Kookaburra II (KA-12), skippered by Torben Grael, who sailed a perfect regatta sweeping all five races at the recent Pre-Worlds at St. Tropez. We expect “feathers to fly” when the two Kooka’s — KA-12 and KA-15, former Aussie stablemates — meet at Porquerolles. Watch for the the most closely contested 12mR Grand Prix World Championship in recent history.

In the 2-year Coupe de France Series the first 2 regattas of the 2024 season are now in the books and reflected in the updated standings below.

Porquerolles Preview

If past is prologue, the 2024 12mR World Championship to be organized by the Yacht Club de Porquerolles (Hyères, FRA) from June 16-24 will be truly spectacular! Recently six twelve metres built between 1929- 1986 representing a 57-year cross-section of 12mR development experienced the glorious sailing conditions and onshore hospitality of the venue. They were, Vintage: La Spina (I-1) ; Traditional: Ikra (K-3) ; Modern: France (F-1) ; and Grand Prix: South Australia (KA-8) , French Kiss (F-7) and Kiwi Magic (KZ-7) .

Sailing conditions were perfect with 8- 14 knots wind, air temperature 24°c and fantastic coastal scenery. Porquerolles is beautiful island 5 nm south of Hyères. It is a tourist attraction like Skagen in Denmark, Marstrand in Sweden and the Cape Cod area of the US. With only 200 year-round inhabitants, the island hosts up to 10,000 visitors on a summer day. It is a little paradise, known for the most sun hours in Cote D’Azur. The marina is huge and offers plenty of space for a regatta fleet of 70 boats. The little city is charming with small restaurants around the Square. The organizers were very good, everything worked out well including the social activities. It is a superb place for the Worlds in 2024, and we can highly recommend other 12mRs to come – you will love it! Johan Blach Petersen, Kiwi Magic (KZ-7)

Zwölfer: Die beinahe vergessene Klasse der 12mR-Rennyachten

Segeln exquisit : Die Sache mit der Zwölf

Der Zwölfer ist der Platzhirsch der Regattabahnen. Eine ansehnliche wie fordernde Rennyacht. Seit auf diesen Planken die Segelschlachten des America’s Cups vor Newport und Fremantle ausgefochten wurden, eine Yacht mit speziellem Nimbus. Hinreißend elegant, endlos auf die Seite zu legen, tierisch gut am Wind. Das ultimative Männerspielzeug für ein Dutzend Buddies, die mit Augenmaß, Bizeps, Hirn und Puste knapp 30 Tonnen Edelholz der Vintage-Exemplare aus den Dreißigerjahren um die Bojen scheuchen. Sehenswerter, arbeitsteiliger, intensiver als auf einem Zwölfer lässt sich das Wochenende auf dem Wasser kaum verbringen.

Nach jahrzehntelanger Agonie, in der es hierzulande wenige segelfähige Exemplare gab, wächst die Ostseeflotte seit einer Weile beeindruckend. Josef Martin holte „Anitra“ aus den Staaten und möbelte sie in Radolfzell auf. Der Flensburger Tafelsilber-Fabrikant Oliver Berking gründete nach der Wiederinbetriebnahme von „Sphinx“ eine Werft, in der bisher mit „Nini Anker“ und „Jenetta“ zwei Neubauten nach alten Vorlagen entstanden.

Deutsche und dänische Protagonisten wie beispielsweise Wilfried Beeck oder Patrick Howaldt pushen das Retro-Segelfestspiel mit Klassikern der Dreißigerjahre. Im Vergleich zu „Anita“, „Anitra“ „Evaine“, „Jenetta“, „Flica II“, „Nini Anker“, „Nyala“, „Trivia“, „Vanity V“ oder „Vim“ sind andere Regattayachten rasch vergessene Durchlauferhitzer.

Der Aufwand, mit dem die Schiffe erhalten, restauriert oder nach alten Plänen neu gebaut werden, ist groß. Das Ego der Eigner, die sich das Jahr für Jahr gönnen, auch. Die jährlichen Betriebskosten ehrgeiziger Besitzer liegen beim Neupreis eines 5er- oder 8er-BMW. So kam es, dass einige Spezialisten in aller Stille an der Zwölf feilten. Wie das geht, obwohl es eigentlich nicht geht, zeigt dieser Artikel.

Die zwei wesentlichen Gesichtspunkte einer Yacht

Die Zwölf ist Ergebnis einer 1908 erstmals zum internationalen Regatta­segeln vereinbarten, 1933 zuletzt als „Third Rule“ überarbeiteten Formel, dem jedes Exemplar dieser Klasse zu entsprechen hat. Die Zwölf steht für den sogenannten Rennwert. Er darf kleiner oder gleich zwölf sein, keinesfalls mehr.

Neben anderen Werten verrechnet die Formel die beiden wesentlichen Gesichtspunkte einer Yacht: den Antrieb in Gestalt der Segelfläche und ihr Geschwindigkeitspotential anhand der Länge. Das Längenmaß wird beim Zwölfer 18 Zentimeter über der Wasserlinie abgenommen. Bei der Vermessung wird sogar zwischen Salz- und Süßwasser unterschieden, weil das Schiff entsprechend tiefer oder höher im Wasser liegt. Es geht um jeden Zentimeter Länge und davon abhängig jeden Quadratmeter Tuch. Das machte den Zwölfer immer schon vorab, damals am Reißbrett, heute am Computer, interessant. Man hat ein eher kurzes, dafür größer besegeltes Leichtwindschiff oder ein längeres, das entsprechend kleiner besegelt und bei mehr Wind dann schneller ist.

Nun liegt es in der Natur der Sache, dass die Holzplanken Wasser aufnehmen und ein betagtes, zum Tourensegeln genutztes Schiff durch Um- und Einbauten im Lauf der Jahrzehnte schwerer wurde. Die tiefere Schwimmlage infolge des Gewichts und damit das größere Längenmaß würde wie gezeigt eine kleinere Besegelung verlangen. Um das zu vermeiden, vereinbarte die Klasse anlässlich des 150. America’s-Cup-Jubiläums 2001 im Seglermekka Cowes eine kluge, lebensnahe Ausnahme.

Zu schwere alte Exemplare mit Einbaumaschine, Tanks und weiteren Zugeständnissen an die Fahrtentauglichkeit erhielten einen Bonus, damit sie mit unveränderten und entsprechend leichteren Schiffen vergleichbar Regattasegeln können, den sogenannte „Age/Design Correction Factor” (ADCF), festgehalten in der Anlage „E“ der Klassenbestimmungen. Er erlaubte die Teilnahme schwerer Schiffe ohne unnötige teure Umbauten für diese eine Regatta.

Wie ist die „Jenetta“ gebaut?

Wie in anderen Lebensbereichen auch bleiben aber einmal gemachte Zugeständnisse in der Welt. So kommt es, dass der als Restaurierung deklarierte Neubau „Jenetta“ 2019 dank ADCF mit 19 Quadratmetern mehr vermessener Segelfläche aufgetakelt wurde als das Original. Obwohl es bei diesem Schiff – in Epoxidharz gekapselte Holzbauweise – keine Wasseraufnahme gibt. Außerdem ist „Jenetta“ unter Deck leer. Wie bei anderen Bootsklassen liegt die tatsächliche Am-Wind-Besegelung mit Groß- und Genuavorsegel deutlich über der vermessenen. Bei Jenetta sind es 246,50 Quadratmeter. Das sind etwa acht Prozent mehr Am-Wind-Besegelung. Tatsächlich ist „Jenetta“ ein 12,111er.

„Jenetta“ segelte die ersten drei Sommer mit einem angeblich vorläufigen, bis zur 12er-Weltmeisterschaft August 2021 in Helsinki unbestätigten wie unveröffentlichten, also de facto ohne Messbrief. Kay-Enno Brink, der den Neubau des Boots in der Werft Robbe & Berking Classics technisch begleitete und das Boot vermessen hat, blieb nach beharrlichem Fragen zu dem Thema einsilbig. Wie sich später herausstellte, wurde der ADCF-Bonus von 0,9626 „auf Anweisung des Eigners festgelegt“. Die Mitnahme der Gutschrift für Vintage-Boote drückt den Rennwert soeben auf die 12.

Mit dem gleichen Kniff wurde „Nini Anker“ (ex „Siesta“), ein Holz-Epoxidharz-Neubau nach alten Plänen Baujahr 2015 vermessen. Auch hier konnte sich der Eigner die Gutschrift abweichend von den Klassenvorschriften selbst aussuchen. In Anlage E der Klassenbestimmungen ist allerdings vom tatsächlichen Baujahr die Rede, nicht vom Jahr des Entwurfs.

Keine vergrößerten Segelflächen

Die Blaupause für dieses Gemauschel lieferte die dänische Eignergemeinschaft von „Wings“. Sie nutzte den Vintage- und Gewichtsbonus konsequent. Die ursprünglich 13,93 Meter lange Wasserlinie von 1937 wurde 20 Zentimeter länger. Zugleich wurden aus 179 Quadratmeter nomineller Segelfläche 190. Das entspricht etwa 261 Quadratmeter am Wind mit Groß und Genua 1.

Angeregt durch beharrliche Recherchen zu diesem Artikel, wollten die Zwölfersegler die missbräuchliche Nutzung des Vintage-Bonus beenden. Eine aus Yachtvermessern bestehende Kommission sollte die Willkür der Zwölfereigner eindämmen und die Rennwerte in Ordnung bringen. Es ist ihnen nicht gelungen. Die Eigner von „Northern Light“, „Jenetta“, „Sphinx“ und „Wings“ beharren auf den ihrerseits geschaffenen Tatsachen. Mit tollen Booten und America’s-Cup-Nimbus Regatten segeln und dabei wie beschrieben mogeln passt nicht zusammen.

The Idaho 12er Home Page Introduction The speed challenge. The clock starts when you leave from the first trailhead and ends when you return back to the last trailhead. So if you do Diamond Peak first, the clock starts there and continues as you climb that peak, drive to the Lost Rivers, go through them, drive to Hyndman, and ends when you touch your car at the Hyndman trailhead after having climbed that peak. No motorized means of travel can occur once you leave the given trailhead for each peak. For instance, you cannot drive a motorcycle into Hyndman Basin, then bag the peak. You can't have a helicopter fly you to the top of each peak. You get the idea... Traverses ARE allowed. For example, you can climb from Leatherman to Donaldson on the ridgeline if you so desire (and have the ability to). No porter rule! You must carry your own pack. Someone can accompany you on the climb, but they can't lug your stuff around for you. Drivers. It is acceptable for someone to drive you between peaks, cook you dinner, etc... Idaho 12er Completers | Current # of Finishers - 304 Borah Peak is the highest peak in Idaho. It is named after Idaho senator, William Borah. It is climbed quite often, as it is the state highpoint. Borah's most famous feature is "chicken-out ridge", which is a knife-edged at about 11,200 feet with 2,000 feet drop-offs on either side. Just after the ridge is a down climb and a snow-bridge crossing... added features that instill fear in some. Main Route: Southwest Ridge Roundtrip mileage: 7 miles Elevation gain: 5,550 feet 12,662 Custer Lost River 3 T.M. Bannon - 1914 Leatherman Peak is a giant peak when viewed from west from ID 93. It is named after Henry Leatherman, who was a early-day hunter, trapper, teamster, and freight carrier in the Lost River Valley. Main Route: North Gully/East Ridge from the West Fork of the Pahsimeroi River. Roundtrip mileage: 8 miles Elevation gain: 4,100 feet 12,228 Custer Lost River 3 T.M. Bannon - 1914 Mount Church, which still has not been officially measured or named, is the third highest peak in Idaho. It is unofficially named after the late Frank Church, an US Senator from Idaho, who was monumental in the development of wilderness areas in Idaho during the 1970's. The peak is usually climbed in conjunction with Donaldson Peak (#8). Main Route: South ridge from saddle between it and Donaldson Peak. Roundtrip mileage: 9 miles Elevation gain: 5,200 feet 12,200+ Custer Lost River 3 Unknown Diamond Peak is a monster peak found in the Lemhi range of Idaho. It is the highest Lemhi Range peak and highest in Butte County. Climbing it via the east ridge is short, but very steep in places. I rate it a hard class 3. Main Route: East Ridge Roundtrip mileage: 5 miles Elevation gain: 4,200 feet 12,197 Butte Lemhi 3 T.M. Bannon - 1912 Mount Breitenbach is a beautiful peak, named after Jake Breitenbach, an Idahoan who died on Mount Everest during the 1963 American expedition. Some views of the peak make it look like it belongs in the Himalaya. Main Route: Up the Pete Creek drainage to the south ridge. Roundtrip mileage: 7 miles Elevation gain: 4,500 feet 12,140 Custer Lost River 3 Unknown Lost River Mountain is probably the least known of the 9 12,000 footers. It is located south of Mount Breitenbach. Main Route: Southwest "super" gully, then follow the south ridge. This gully is nasty, consider a spring/early summer snow climb. Roundtrip mileage: 6 miles Elevation gain: 4,500 feet 12,078 Custer Lost River 3 Unknown Mount Idaho provides the gorgeous backdrop for Merriam Lake. Getting to Merriam Lake is easy... getting to the trailhead is a long and dusty task. Main Route: West ridge/face. Hike up Elkhorn Creek to a saddle at the base of the west ridge. Roundtrip mileage: 8 miles Elevation gain: 5,000 feet 12,065 Custer Lost River 3 Unknown Donaldson Peak is named after Idaho Supreme Court Justice Charles Donaldson. It is most often climbed from the saddle between it and Mount Church via its north ridge. Do this in conjunction with an ascent of Church. Main Route: North ridge from saddle between it and Mount Church. Roundtrip mileage: .5 miles (if climbed in conjunction with Mount Church) Elevation gain: 300 feet (if climbed in conjunction with Mount Church) 12,023 Custer Lost River 3 Unknown Hyndman Peak is a very popular destination, as it is close to the resort area of Sun Valley. The route is also the easiest of all 9 peaks. Excellent views and terrain on this climb! Named after Major William Hyndman, a Civil War veteran and early prominent pioneer/mine operator in the region. Main Route: East ridge from saddle between Hyndman Peak and Old Hyndman Peak. Roundtrip mileage: 12 miles Elevation gain: 5,009 feet 12,009 Blaine Pioneer 2 W.T. Griswold and E.T. Perkins - 1889 Robot or human? Activate and hold the button to confirm that you’re human. Thank You! He crossed the Atlantic solo in a boat he built himself On a foggy morning in November 2023, five boats left Portugal and began racing across the Atlantic. Jack Johnson from Cypress, Calif., is on the left. (Courtesy of Sailing Fair Isle) Copy Link URL Copied! He was 1,300 miles from land, and another storm was barreling in. Wind at 30 knots and climbing. Chop, steep and shallow. Sheets of rain erased the sky. Three weeks earlier, he had left the Canary Islands for Antigua, and now in the middle of the Atlantic, he was alone and scared and ready to give up. He had been fighting a series of squalls throughout the night. Waves slammed into his small sailboat as it rose and fell over steep swells. The wind howled, and spray pelted him. He tugged on a tether fastening him to a safety line to keep him from falling overboard and scrambled onto the deck to take down the sails. And to think: Not so long ago, Jack Johnson and his wife, Deby, were racing their dinghy in Alamitos Bay, white sails coloring a blue sky. Orange County was their home, and they loved summertime regattas, late afternoons on the water after work, dinner with friends on the patio of their yacht club. Now tossed about like a dog’s toy, he was off course and barely holding on. Jack never imagined racing alone across the Atlantic, much less in a boat he built himself. Yet sitting at his computer in October 2020, he typed his credit card number and agreed to a nonrefundable deposit toward a $10,000 kit of precut plywood that with enough screws, epoxy and fiberglass would one day become a 19½-foot sailboat. The idea had seemed preposterous. COVID-19 was spreading, and everyone was in lockdown. Jack was 47 at the time and married for only two years. He and Deby were building their future, and they had family to consider. Her mother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. How could he step away from all of that? Yet she had encouraged him, because that is what they did for each other: support the best version of themselves. “That sounds right up your alley,” she said when he told her about a solo race with a DIY ethos and an ocean to cross. At first, he had thought the race, called the Globe 5.80 Transat, a little crazy, which was why he shared a link with his friend Michael Moyer. They had known each other since their days on the Newport Harbor High School sailing team. Moyer was always doing wild things. He and his wife, Anita, had sailed the world, true vagabonds of the sea. Moyer liked the idea and signed up. Jack agreed to help him build the boat but soon realized he too wanted to join the race. He had once thought the script of his life was written — go to school, get a job, settle in. Chained to routine. Unmarried and uninvolved, he saw himself dying alone. That was 10 years ago. Deby had proved him wrong. Her love opened up possibilities he never imagined. He now had a partner, four stepdaughters and a Persian cat named Punkin. If his world could change like that, then maybe sailing alone across the Atlantic in a boat the size of an F-150 pickup wasn’t impossible. Even if it sounded crazy. Johnson named his boat Right Now, after the Van Halen song. He liked the lyrics: “Don’t wanna wait ‘til tomorrow / Why put it off another day?” (Robert Edmonds / nrg-digital.co.uk) Four wooden crates arrived from North Carolina, containing 700 pieces of marine-grade plywood cut, shaped and numbered for convenient assembly. The two men, who had leased a small industrial unit in a Santa Ana business park, spread the jigsaw puzzle out on the floor — “like one big Ikea project,” said Jack — and got busy. Working on their individual boats, they laid out the ribs and bulkheads, then the stringers and planks. They fastened the pieces, and as construction progressed, the shop took on the smells of mahogany and fir, polyurethane paint and fiberglass. Moyer took the day shift, and Jack, who kept his engineering job in Fullerton, came in at night, sleeping on his workbench, a box for a pillow. Mornings he raced home to make Deby a cup of coffee, a ritual from their dating days. Once the hulls were covered with fiberglass, the two men began smoothing the surfaces for speed. Dressed in jumpsuits with hoodies, face masks and ear muffs, they burned through sheets of sandpaper. They felt as if they were living inside a snow globe. When ordering and registering their electronics — GPS, collision avoidance systems — they had to name their boats. Moyer chose Sunbear, the smallest species of bear, fitting for the smallest species of ocean-class sailboat. Jack picked Right Now, for his favorite Van Halen song . Don’t wanna wait ’til tomorrow Why put it off another day? Shipping delays — masts from France, sails from Sri Lanka — delayed their start for nearly two years. In October 2023, Jack and Moyer packed their boats in a shipping container and flew to Lagos, in southern Portugal. Deby soon joined them, and she and Jack began each morning with pasteis de nata at a bakery before he left for the boatyard to finish rigging. The fleet leaves Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands, as the boats race to Antigua in the eastern Caribbean. (Robert Edmonds / nrg-digital.co.uk) On race day — Nov. 11 — he rose at 4 a.m., left her sleeping and quietly began taking supplies down to the boat. Ahead of him lay the first leg of a race that would take him and four other boats to the Canary Islands, a relatively safe qualifier of 650 miles before they undertook the 3,200-mile crossing of the Atlantic for Antigua in the eastern Caribbean. The race was initially conceived in 1977 as a “poor man’s Transatlantic.” At the time, offshore sailboat racing was dominated by wealthy sailors and million-dollar yachts. To buck the trend, organizers designed a safe, uniform and inexpensive boat that competitors could build by themselves. Although there was no prize, Jack was looking forward to seeing what he was capable of and to prove wrong those who said he was foolhardy or nuts. Yet when he was done loading the boat, he came back to bed as if trying to hold off the inevitable. All that he had worked for was now happening, and as hardened as he was to the prospect of being alone, he realized how un-alone he actually was. For the last three years, Deby, his stepdaughters and the members at the club had come together to help him achieve this goal. When the time came to say goodbye to her, he cried “like a 6-year-old with a skinned knee.” Each boat was equipped with a special tracking device that relied on a GPS satellite network. In this video, Jack Johnson’s boat is colored bright green; Michael Moyer’s boat is blue. The gray boat indicates the winning boat in the 2021 race. Rather than heading west from the Canary Islands, the sailors followed the coast of Africa south in search of the trade winds that eventually sent them on their westerly course. (Courtesy of YB Tracking) He hugged and kissed Deby at the dock one last time. She’d be flying back to California in a couple of days. Wiping away his tears, he started powering Right Now to the starting line. A low fog blanketed the mouth of the harbor. Ahead of him was Sunbear with its bright yellow hull. He and Moyer had competed against each other in high school, and Moyer had always won. Today they were up against three other boats. Their finish line for the first leg was Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands. With the wind at their backs, the fleet made good progress despite choppy seas off Gibraltar. They had heard about orcas sinking boats in this region of the Atlantic, and Moyer even brought window cleaner, figuring the ammonia would drive them away. Jack fell in sync with the rhythm of the days at sea. Catnapping through the night, he rose at first light. Breakfast was leftovers from dinner. He studied charts and weather and got to work trying to coax as much speed from his boat as possible. While he had sailed long distances before, never had he done it alone or in a boat that he built himself. He hoped experience would see him through, but he also knew, as the adage goes: Life tests you first, then provides the lessons. 1. On the wall of their townhome in Cypress, Deby Johnson hung a map of the world pinned with mementos of husband Jack’s voyage. 2. Jack Johnson had once thought the script of his life was written — until he met his wife, Deby, who made it possible for him to pursue his dream of racing across the Atlantic. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) To break the monotony, he’d listen to podcasts. He’d munch on a tortilla smeared with peanut butter and honey, and at the end of the day, treat himself to a glass of rum and keep a promise he’d made to Deby. She asked him to take a picture of every sunset, and his phone filled with colors of the western sky, laced with clouds and distant storms. After less than a week, the fleet arrived at the aptly named Marina Rubicon, a popular launching point for Atlantic sailors. Jack was first, and Moyer, who finished second to last, knew he had underestimated the competition. After a 10-day layover, the boats left for the Caribbean. One sailor had dropped out, leaving just four boats plowing down the coast of Africa — Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania — in search of the trade winds. Three days out, Jack celebrated his 51st birthday by opening Deby’s present that he had stowed on board: a pack of Nutter Butter cookies and a flash drive of photos and a video she had made. “I am so amazed at all that you have accomplished!” she wrote in her card. The days were bright and sun-soaked. Nights were as dark as the inside of a glove. Squalls blew in from the Sahara; the rainwater, brown with desert dust, served for showering and washing clothes. After a week — 70 miles north of the Cape Verde Islands — the sailors hit the trade winds and began charting west. On Dec. 11 — halfway to Antigua and in first place by almost 100 miles — Jack celebrated, opening Deby’s second gift: a small bottle of Hendrick’s gin and the requisite accompaniment of tonic. “You are my sunshine and my rock,” she wrote in this card. “You make me smile and keep me sane.” Longing to hear her voice, he picked up the satellite phone. It would be morning in California, and she’d be home getting ready for work. “Hello,” she said, shocked to hear his voice. Was everything OK? He reassured her. Was calling breaking the rules? They’d be all right, he said, so long as they didn’t talk about the race or the weather. She relaxed, and they took a moment to catch up. The girls were doing well, and Deby had been making the long drive to Lake Havasu alone to visit and check in on her parents. He asked whether she got the card that he had buried in the second drawer of her dresser. It was his halfway gift. She did. “Hurrying to see you,” he had written. Like the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic is governed by the jet stream, which, ever shifting, had altered its course, pushing the trade winds closer to the equator. That dynamic — along with the overheated water of the Atlantic — created for the sailors a patch of ocean riven by errant low-pressure fronts and violent storms like the one Jack was fighting three days later. With the sails down, waves slamming against the hull, he scrambled onto the deck to set a sea anchor, a small device tossed overboard that would help keep the boat from rolling and swamping. But the knot he tied slipped, and the anchor was lost. Cursing himself, he climbed back in the cockpit and stayed on the tiller, doing his best to maneuver through the storm with its 40-mph winds. The storms the night before — and now this — had taken their toll. “… chaos, absolute chaos … tired and wet and sick of being here and sick of sailing and just not having a great time...,” he recorded in a voice-to-text log. Eventually, the sky began to lighten. He had gotten through the worst of it. The winds were tapering. Jack raised his sails, turned on the autopilot and tried to sleep. He had a story to tell Deby, for sure, but he’d downplay it so as to not worry her, and he’d get back on track with those sunset shots. The next day, he laid his gear in the sun to dry, opened up the cabin and surveyed the boat for damage. A weld in the rigging had cracked but was manageable. He was pleased with how the boat had held up. In offshore racing, boats sink. Sailors fall overboard. Masts snap, and equipment breaks, and in this part of the Atlantic, rescue can take days. Most of all, Jack was frustrated and worried that he was no longer competitive with the other sailors and well behind Moyer. Then the ocean became as still as glass. The windless days were hot, and nights brought rain. For all his preparations, Jack never anticipated being bored. Nothing plus nothing equaled nothing. He slept more than ever. “… I’m not thinking straight and I’m not sailing fast and I can’t bring myself to care … I’m sick of it. I just want to get home and kiss Deby and love her and not leave her for a while,” he recorded. Three days before Christmas, he encountered a whale almost as big as his boat. Relieved it wasn’t an orca, he climbed up on the deck to take a picture. The lugubrious creature surfaced next to the boat, cut across the bow, dived, then reemerged. “… hasn’t shown any real aggression but I imagine they don’t until they do,” Jack observed. Whenever he went below or got lost in a task, he’d look up and there it still was. He thought about jumping in. What would it be like to swim beside a whale? After five hours, it was gone. The next night, more rain fell. As he was putting on his foul-weather gear, a wave hit the boat, and he fell headfirst into a grab bar mounted in the ceiling. Soon, the world was spinning around him. Dizzy and fatigued after 28 days at sea, he made a special point of making sure he was clipped securely onto the safety line whenever he went on deck. With no wind, he drifted along, until almost a week later, his sails gently filled, and he started to fly. The sea was flat, and as night fell, the wind didn’t let up. Antigua lay over the horizon. At dawn, Jack crossed the finish line in first place. He had sailed 3,186 miles in 33 days, 21 hours, 2 minutes. He called Deby, and then the clubhouse on Alamitos Bay where his friends had gathered. The building echoed with their cheers. When Moyer arrived 24 hours later in second place, Jack greeted him at the dock with handshake, a hug and a rum and Coke. The final celebration in Antigua was anticlimactic, dinner at a tapas restaurant before the sailors left for home. Jack has been told there is a trophy but hasn’t seen it. The wind is typically light in Alamitos Bay, where every Thursday evening, Jack and Deby race their small dinghy. He still rises early each morning to brew her coffee before work and has been joining her on the long drive to Lake Havasu to visit her parents. For nearly four years, he had been focused on crossing the Atlantic in the boat built with his own hands, and he’s now wondering if it’s time to push himself in a new direction, away from sailing perhaps, like into a dance class. The idea intrigues and terrifies him. He admits to being a poor dancer, but with Deby’s help, he might have a chance. “So much is easy for so many of us,” he said. “If we want something, we can go out and get it. We are not challenged in our daily life to do things that are difficult, and as a result, the smallest things knock us off balance.” Still he’s trying to decide whether to continue with the race when the fleet leaves Antigua for Panama, then Tahiti and around the world next year. He wouldn’t have Moyer — who recently sold Sunbear — joining him, and as a measure of his own ambivalence, he’s put Right Now up for sale or charter. He doubts anyone will be interested though, and that would be just fine.

Excursion River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat Date and time: Who's going: See photo of the meeting point "Anita" - 12 mR Text: SKO, Foto: Yachtbild Kai Greiser Im Jahre 1937 war so etwas wie ein 12er Fieber ausgebrochen. Walter Rau, ein Margarinefabrikant aus Mecklenburg, gab gleichzeitig mit seinem Freund und Segelrivalen John T. Essberger, einem Hamburger Reeder, je eine 12mR Yacht bei der damals schon berühmten Yachtwerft Abeking und Rasmussen in Lemwerder bei Bremen in Auftrag. Im Frühsommer des Jahres 1938, gerade noch rechtzeitig zur Kieler Woche, lief die „ANITA" vom  Stapel. Gleichzeitig mit ihr wurde die „INGA" fertiggestellt. Auf der Kieler Woche 1938 segelte „ANITA" gegen „INGA" und den englischen 12er „BLUE MARLIN". Henry Rasmussen berichtet, daß der Engländer wie eine Jolle um die Wendemarken ging, aber die beiden deutschen 12er mit noch unerfahrenen Crews teilweise mit flatternden Segeln an den Bahnmarken standen. Bei der Kieler Woche 1939 sah es dann schon besser aus. Die „SPHINX", ein weiterer 12er für den Norddeutschen Regatta Verein 1939 bei A&R fertiggestellt, belegte regelmäßig den 1.Platz, „ANITA" und „INGA" wechselten sich beim 2.Platz ab. Im gleichen Jahr segelten dann drei deutsche 12 er („ANITA", „INGA" und „SPHINX") noch eine Regattaserie vor Kopenhagen. Ernst Burmeester baute für sich die "ASHANTI". Mit dem Beginn des zweiten Weltkrieges, im Herbst 1939, war natürlich vorerst mit der Segelei Schluß. „ANITA" wurde auf ihrer Bauwerft in Lemwerder aufgebockt und wartete auf bessere Zeiten. „INGA" und „SPHINX" segeln heute noch bei der Bundesmarine als „WESTWIND" und „OSTWIND". Die „ASHANTI"  verbrannte bei einem Großfeuer auf der Burmester-Werft. Doch 1962 sollte auch für unsere „ANITA" das richtige Leben losgehen. Wie schon in der Geschichte der Segelkameradschaft gesagt, fanden 1961 Jello Rassau, Alois Kranz und August Schulte auf der A&R-Werft die „ANITA" in ihrem Dornröschenschlaf und kauften sie. Im Frühjahr 1962 brach eine Jahrhundertsturmflut - es war dieselbe, die halb Holland überflutete - über die Nordseeküste herein, besuchte die Werft und beeinträchtigte die Arbeiten an der „ANITA". Nicht nur  die Masten und Spieren versanken im Schlamm, auch in der Kammer schwammen die Segel und das Inventar. Kaum war alles gesäubert und aufgeräumt, brach bei A&R ein Großfeuer aus, doch blieb „ANITA" gottlob verschont. Sie konnte Ende Mai 62 zu Wasser gebracht und von den neuen Eignern übernommen werden. Sie wird anschließend um Skagen herum nach Kiel gesegelt, wo sie ihren ständigen Liegeplatz erhält. Bis 1965 werden mehr oder weniger Familienreisen in der Ostsee gesegelt. Immerhin kommen in den ersten vier Jahren 14 000 sm zusammen mit langsam zunehmender Tendenz. 1965 beginnt eine neue Ära für die „ANITA". Die schon 1961 gegründete Segelkameradschaft Ostsee, die das Schiff bisher von den Eignern gechartert hatte, kauft dank großzügiger Spenden die „ANITA". Die Anzahl der Reisen pro Jahr steigt, und die jährlich gesegelten Meilen werden immer mehr. 1967 wird die Dame „ANITA" zum ersten mal von einer Dame geführt, Margret Schollmayer. 1970 segelt „ANITA"  unter Peter Eider von Travemünde rund um Island, zum ersten Mal über den Polarkreis, zurück nach Travemünde. Doch solche Reisen, damals noch als Ausnahme betrachtet, werden bald als etwas völlig Normales empfunden. Die Reiseziele gehen immer weiter, rund um England, zum Nordkap, nach Nordafrika, nach Madeira und zu den Azoren, dann später nach Spitzbergen, nach Grönland und der Bäreninsel. 1992 geht dann „ANITA" zum ersten mal über den großen Teich. Sie sollte zur Segelparade anläßlich des Jubiläumsjahres "500 Jahre Amerika" nach New York segeln. Dieses Unternehmen, das bisher größte in der Geschichte unserer „ANITA", wurde von 7 Skippern der SKO organisiert und durchgeführt. Es waren dies Walter Brand, Peter Eider, Helmut Hecher, Hans Köhler, Ted Palm, Günther Pivl, K.L. Sattler. Die  Reise ging von Travemünde, Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, durch Nordsee und englischen Kanal zu den Azoren, dann über die Bermudas nach New York.  Nach den Feiern in New York segelte „ANITA" nach Canada, Neufundland, über Grönland und die Faröer nach Schottland. Kurz nach dem Auslaufen aus Aberdeen kam der Mast von oben und somit war die Amerika-Reise beendet. Doch schon im nächsten Jahr stand ein neuer Mast und die alte Dame segelt wieder wie eh und je. Doch an der alten Dame waren die Zeit und die vielen Meilen nicht spurlos vorübergegangen. Für die Saison 1996 mußte sie auf die Werft. Die Plankenbolzen und einige Planken mußten ausgewechselt werden und sie bekam ein neues Deck. Die Yachtwerft Glückstadt hat hier eine hervorragende Arbeit geleistet. Zum Ende der Saison 1997 gab es einen spektakulären Unfall. 60 sm nordwestlich von Helgoland fiel ANITA aus einer Monstersee in das Wellental und kenterte. Die Besatzung kam mit dem Schrecken und ein paar Verletzungen davon. Das Deckshaus und ein Teil der Decksausrüstung wurden zertrümmert. Der Besanmast war mehrfach gebrochen. Dank der Sicherung durch SAR und DGzRS kamen wir sicher in den Hafen von Helgoland. Doch im Frühjahr 1998 konnten wir wieder wie gewohnt unser Törn-Programm aufnehmen 1999 wurde, zum ersten mal seit 60 Jahren, wieder ein Rennen der 12er in Deutschland gesegelt. Zur 11. Internationalen Veteranen Regatta vor Laboe traten die alten Rivalen ANITA, WESTWIND (ex Inga), OSTWIND (ex Sphinx) sowie FLICA II und die dänische THEA gegeneinander an. FLICA II belegte den ersten Platz. ANITA wurde Zweite. Im August 2001 nahm ANITA an den Regatten zu 150 ten Jubiläum des America´s Cup in Cowes teil. Etwa 40 Zwölfer waren hier versammelt. Ein Ereignis, was sich so schnell nicht wiederholen wird. Hierzu das   agebuch der Crew Seit 1962 bis heute wurden auf Schiffen der SKO 382.598 sm (dies ist fast 18 mal um die Erde) ohne ernste Unfälle oder Verletzungen gesegelt, auf der "Anita" 288.797 sm und dies auf einem Schiff ohne Maschine. In den Fahrtenwettbewerben der Kreuzerabteilung wurden an Skipper der SKO 120 Plaketten vergeben. Sie war der erfolgreichste Verein in diesen Wettbewerben.

Built from 2010-2013 according to the International Third Rule, Johan Anker’s ultimate masterpiece the 12mR Anker 434 project, produced by Robbe & Berking Classics , was the first wooden 12mR to be produced in decades. From Robbe & Berking website: In the world of classical boat enthusiasts Johan Anker (1871 – 1940) is known as a master of elegant ship lines who achieved an outstanding reputation in his period of activity not only as designer and builder of many successful yachts but also as successful sailor. Amongst others he was the initiator of the legendary conference held in London 1906 where the major sailing countries agreed on the International Rule of Measurement for Rating as the first international handicapping system. At the age of 68 Johan Anker created his latest 12 Metre Class design in 1939 before he passed away in the following year. Due to the outbreak of war his design No. 434 was never built. Robbe & Berking Classics retrieved the complete set of drawings and was pleased to build this remarkable 12 Metre Class design on behalf of a Scandinavian owner committed to Metre Class sailing.
