DIVA G yacht

Post by aukepalmhof » Tue Nov 13, 2018 7:41 pm

The 1985 yacht, DIVA G, was designed by Freidrich Judel and Rolf Vrolijk for her owners Peter Westphal-Langloh and Freddy Diekell. The 44 footer, rating 33.6ft IOR, was designed in response to the moves by the RORC to introduce a minimum aggregate rating for teams in the Admiral's Cup from 1985 onwards, and thereby put an end to three boat teams made up of minimum (30.0ft IOR) raters. DIVA G was built by Yachtwerf Wedel in Kevlar and glass on a foam sandwich core. She represented the arrival of a new style of fractionally-rigged yacht, with laminated sails and improved spar technology making rig control a better proposition at this size.

What has happened with the yacht after the Admiral’s Cup I could not find?
You can now find the DIVA G on shore at the entrance of the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven. When she was placed there I could not find.
