The Anita is a classic sailing yacht of the 12 mR class . It was built in 1938 from mahogany (Tabasco) on steel frames at the Abeking & Rasmussen (A & R) shipyard in Lemwerder near Bremen, using the third rule measurement formula that was valid at the time .

Before that, the A&R shipyard had built the first-rule 12er Skeaf VI in 1914 and six second-rule 12s for US customers in 1928 . Together with the Anita with sail number G 2, A & R built the identical Inga (G 1) and the Sphinx (G 4). A fourth German 12, the Ashanti III (G 3), was built by the Burmester shipyard .

Rau family

The client and first owner was the food industrialist Walter Rau . The ship was named after his wife's first name.

After the 1939 sailing season, the high point of the 12th scene at the time, there were no more regattas because of the war . The four German twelve survived the war unscathed.

In 1951 the Anita was given a mizzen mast and was converted into a yawl .

Segelkameradschaft Ostsee eV

In 1962 the Segelkameradschaft Ostsee eV acquired Anita from the Rau family.

In the next almost five decades she was used intensively as a regatta and cruise ship. Starting from the berth, first Travemünde and later Laboe , in addition to the tours to the home territories of Denmark and Scandinavia, we went to Poland , Russia , Estonia , Holland , Belgium , England , Scotland , Ireland , Spain , Portugal , Azores , Iceland , Greenland again and again Bear Island , to Spitzbergen , Jan Mayen and with participation in the " Operation Sail " in New York 1992 also to the USA.

There was still no drive machine, there was only a 3.5 kW generator for the power supply.

An average of 7,000 nautical miles per year, a total of 330,000 nautical miles, were covered. She won countless prizes.

Friends of SY Anita eV

After participating in the world championship of classic 12mR yachts in the Flensburg Fjord in 2008, serious damage to the entire hull emerged. Since the expected costs exceeded the financial means of the renowned sailing comradeship, the Anita fell to the sailing club Rheingau eV (SCR), from whose ranks the sailing comradeship was founded.

Under the aegis of the SCR, the Friends of SY Anita eV was founded , which took over the acquisition of the necessary financial resources. Around € 200,000 were donated or granted as a cheap loan . A non-profit limited company , SVR gGmbH, was founded to operate the ship .

The general overhaul was carried out from 2011 to 2012 by the Danish shipyard Andersen in Gilleleje . It also received a drive engine (70 hp Yanmar ) for the first time .

Anita has been berthed in Kiel since then . From there, tours are sailed almost continuously during the sailing season and regattas are taken part in. In addition to the experienced skippers and crew members, there is usually space for new or less experienced sailors, especially in the context of youth work . There are 10 berths on the ship and crews can accommodate up to 15 people.

Since 2017, the Anita has been rigged as a sloop again, as is customary for the 12mR class and was also originally the case .

Anita is a member of the Sail Training Association Germany (STAG) and the Friends of Classic Yachts (FKY). She regularly takes part in the classic rendezvous of the Kiel Week .
