HISTORY
As far as classic boats go, you could hardly ask for a more popular design than the International Six Metre, a class of racing yachts from the Olympics of yesteryear. Maida is a 35-foot racing sloop, built in 1932 by Alexander Stephen and Sons, which was a Scottish shipbuilding company in Glasgow on the River Clyde. She was designed by “Wee John” Stephen of the same family.
The International Six Metre class (often called 6mR) is a construction class, which means the boats are not identical but are designed to meet a measurement formula. Also, “six metre” refers to the formula rather than the length of the boat; six metre yachts are on average 30-35 feet long.
The design has an almost straight line from the stem head to the rudder heel. Unlike the swooping overhang of the stern, the bow is nearly plumb. According to the original plans, Maida was built of African white mahogany planking on a yellow pine backbone. She has been through numerous refits, during which the ribs and some of the planking have been replaced and some deck modifications made. Maida has a recent mahogany cockpit coaming and slatted hardwood cockpit sole boards. Much has been changed on a wooden boat that is 80 years old, but despite her many upgrades, Maida’s classic lines still continue to dazzle.
