THE "SAGITTA" 8 METER CLASS RACING YACHT
The International Eight Metre class are class of racing yachts. Eight Metre
boats (often called "Eights" or 8mR) are a construction class, meaning that the
boats are not identical but are all designed to meet specific measurement
formula, in this case International rule. Before WW II Eights were the most
prestigious international yacht racing class, and they are still raced around the
world. "Eight metre" in class name does not, somewhat confusingly, refer to
length of the boat, but product of the formula. 8mR boats are on average some
15 metres long. Between 1907 and 2008 approximately 500 8mR boats were
built, 177 of them have survived until today.
