The competition designed to stimulate innovation in the design and build of cruising yachts from the countries then younger naval architects. The winning design she was built and then given away as the prize in the clubs 1939 annual raffle. The lucky winner was a Scottish sailor based in Edinburgh and the boat arrived in the UK shortly before the start of WWII.
