A Summary of Sailing Yacht SOLWAY LASS

The well proportioned superyacht SOLWAY LASS is a sailing yacht. This 37 metre (121 ft) luxury yacht was manufactured by Bodewes Scheepswerf in 1902.

SOLWAY LASS was originally built in 1902 and was then named Stina. In 1905 she was sold and renamed to "Adolf", while she worked in and around the Baltic and North Sea.

At the end of WWI, she worked as a coal, produce and stone carrying vessel between Liverpool and Scottish Ports. In 1924 the yacht was again sold – this time to a Scottish firm in the Solway Firth where she was renamed Solway Lass. When WWII broke out the Germans seized the yacht a s a prize of war where she was used to supply their armed forces. During the war SOLWAY LASS hit a mine and was badly damaged, however the Germans repaired the hull because SL was useful as a sail-powered icebreaker.
