After banning me, I was told that they found "Multiple... violations" and that I was a bot account. I appealed the ban, they denied it, said it had been "carefully investigated" and that I was perma banned. Now, they unbanned me without a notification. Classy.
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.
