Built by J. Wass for himself and his growing family. He was a professional shipwright and Cito was not his first Spidsgatter that he built for himself. He built her in his backyard in Copenhagen, as there was no room at the yard he was employed at. She lost her lead keel when stored away during WWII by the Germans, for bullets. She went through the war otherwise unharmed, returning to the salt after the war, later sold along with others of her class and sent off to new owners in Vancouver Canada in the mid 1950’s. Decades of different families have enjoyed her over the years up in Canada till she was sold and brought to Port Townsend in 2002. We acquired her in 2005, and spent 8 years restoring her. We enjoy her for her many wonderful sailing qualities, and enjoy cruising her here in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
