Westward, launched in 1910, was the largest yacht ever built under the 1908 International Rule.
135 feet from bow to stern.
She had an incredible life on the water, dominating races on both sides of the Atlantic. But her story ended in 1947 when she was scuttled in the English Channel per her final owner's wishes.
She still holds the title.
The 1908 Rule was retired long ago, so Westward remains the largest yacht ever built to it.
Nothing of the original survives today.
Esa es la playa de la canal, en Llanes. Es un acceso formidable para los submarinistas que no tienen embarcación y además mientras sales es fácil encontrar lubinas que entran a buscar cebo en la arena.
