ANKER 434 Built By. “Robbe & Berking Classics” shipyard In Flensburg Germany The shipyard “Robbe & Berking Classics” was founded in the summer of 2008, following our restoration and complete re-build of the 12-metre yacht “Sphinx” to benefit from and to expand on the very special skills and expertise that have been generated for this exceptional project. Located in the harbour of Flensburg, we are now restoring classic motor and sailing yachts and are also building replicas of historic yachts that have been lost – with genuine passion, careful attention to detail and at fair prices. Please contact us for a quotation. We also build an elegant commuter-type motorboat, inspired by the famous Express Cruisers and large Commuter Yachts of the 1920s and 30s. This versatile, quick and seaworthy boat is built by us in a small production run, of course by hand and naturally in wood. Johan Ankers ultimate masterpiece – the 12 Metre Class design No. 434 In the world of classical boat enthusiast Johan Anker (1871 - 1940) is known as a master of elegant ship lines. Johan Anker 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 is pleased to build this remarkable 12 Metre Class design on behalf of a Scandinavian owner committed to Metre Class sailing.
