Boat Name: "Sprig"
Sail: US 43
Year Built: 1930
Designer: Clinton Crane
Builder: Henry Nevins, City Island, NY
Owner: Greg Stewart
History: Built to Rule 2, with her rig later modified by S&S in the mid 30's to take advantage of the 1934 updates to the Rule. Owner Greg Stewart has maintained 'Sprig' to be as beautiful now as she ever has been. She carries her original 3 spreader, 1 jumper rig and bright finish boom. Besides being taken down to bare wood inside and out, Sprig received full length epoxy soaked e-glass splines.This method has been successfully employed for 30 years by many Pacific Coast (PC) Class boats in San Diego. She has 3 cockpits and not even the helmsman gets a seat. Sprig travelled to Seattle in 2001 and 2002 for the Lipton Cup and North Americans and was always in the hunt. She placed second in the 2002 Lipton Cup and 4th in the 2002 North Americans. Sprig is very active in the San Diego Ancient Mariner events and is based at San Diego Yacht Club. Sprig received a new deck and other refurbishment and was relaunched in October 2005. Sprig is the most far-flung member of the Puget Sound Six Meter Association and competed at the 2009 World Cup in Newport, Rhode Island. In order to qualify for the Baum + Koenig Trophy at the 2009 Worlds, Sprig ordered a full suit of Dacron sails to replace her modern versions. She ended 13th of 24 and took home the KSSS trophy for the highest placing Rule 1 or 2 (unmodified keel) boat at the Worlds. In more recent years Sprig has competed in San Diego with that vibrant group of mixed Classic yachts. Greg also took Sprig up to San Francisco Bay for the 2015 St Francis Yacht Club Invitational and the 2016 North American Championships. Sprig and Greg were recently profiled by Sailing World magazine. Look for Sprig at the 2017 International 6 Metre World Championships in Vancouver.
I am part owner of the oslo which was built in 1926 by Johan Anker for the late king of Norway that was given to him by the people. My father bought it for my mother as a wedding present on their honeymoon in 1936 in oslofjord at anchor. It is moored at leschi marina on lake Washington in Seattle, Washington. What a pleasure to see this video about another sixth that is properly taken care of. I hope the owner takes care and uses it for many years to come😊
Wooden Boat man all my life you bet I loved this video
I absolutely adore this.
I love this thing
Thanks for share.. Interesting desing. Best regards
Time to write off a business trip to Sodus Bay, NY. 8 metres and R-class !
Nother goodun!
I got to attend a special day in San Francisco, the mid 70’s, Tom Blackaller - Commodore Thompkins - ? , sailing against Ted Turner - Gary Jobson & ? , in Six Meters match racing. I got to crew the STFYC W.L. Stewart & handle the tow & help committee the sparing. I think Ted was making the rounds to stay sharp. It wasn’t an official regatta. That was something, I think they did three starts, as I remember. ⚓️
excellent!
gorgeous boat
Raced 6 meters on Lake Ontario in the 80ties they were always a special yacht brought back some sweet memories
Love these tours of really classic yachts - keep them coming :)
Golly these are spectacularly beautiful!
This is a hidden gem
isn't it? what a boat!
Best channel on youtube by far. Video production quality exceeds any other sailing affiliated company or organization. Take notes sailing world.
the guys are amazingly talented. we intend to keep making these. however production costs are high and we will need funding to keep it going. we are hoping the community will help.
Love this series. Keep ‘em coming. You’re the Doug DeMuro of sailboats.
I NEED THAT JACKET!
Great video! Breathtakingly beautiful boat! Thanks!!!
it sure is!
Love the 6’s. shout out to Greg from the R-class fleet up here in Toronto.
Thanks for bringing this beautiful boat to our attention. Great Video also. This boat reminds me of my days racing a Bird Boat in SF bay.
New to watching these vids, this is the best I've seen, great to get out on the water with it and see it move, but what a thing too. Cheers for doing the vid.
GOOOOO GREG!
More sailing Please!
Wow!!!
Incredibly beautiful boat, thanks for the video

Loved the sailing footage. Well done!
What a beautiful boat so good to see you sailing it
we loved it!
interesting boat had to do a lot of skipping to see it but like. never saw resin used that way ,like to see in one year. .
skipping? me? ha!
Have fond memories of walking by this boat in the early 90's on the way to my grandfather's PC down the dock. What kid isn't intrigued by those cockpits!?
Ok liked that one, a lot. It would be perfect for a friend. 😊
excellent!
cool to see real retro boats. would be nice to see an IOD aswell
Absolutely spectacular. Thanks Scott!!! Im going to try to meet you when Im back in SoCal next summer

@@SailingAnarchyUSA 🤙
Sweet 6M!
Great boat. I love the 6m... Rubbish, I like all the meter-classes.
who doesn't?
Great vid as always, 3 quick comments/questions....
1.) I like the test drive part - you should insist on that for all the boats you review going forward. 2.) Where can we buy a jacket like that? 3.) Cool that you have set up a Patreon account - on it!
Hey Randy first off thank you for supporting us! We are trying to add more time on the water, logistically it’s challenging to go out on every boat. It’s easy for the owner to unlock the boat for us and let us be, that being said we are working on it. We’re also trying to figure out the format of “on the water” in our episodes. As for the jacket, I know Scot is looking to add a page on his site for gear so stay tuned.
Thank you to all of you for digging our scene! These videos are expensive to produce, and we are hoping that the community can help us keep the series going. Thank you! www.patreon.com/sailinganarchy
Lovely, looks good from close up or far away.... What's the length along the waterline? What's it draw? Curious, reminds me of my Dragon, also w/ no motor and very pointy !
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The 6 meter class rules (Like the Tartan 10) probably require original spec hardware i.e. no self tailing winches...www.6mrnorthamerica.com/ (NA class rules doc appears as a PDF scan of a very old document)
I didn't get the calculations of six meters to six feet wide. Could you please explain it one more time?
What about 8 mtrs
The sailing looked fun but, if you offered me a 6 meter for FREE I would run the other way. Too much maintenance and not enough comfort!
36 feet aren't 6m.... why is it called 6m?
do they remove all copper screws by pegs & epoxy???
