Cito along with her sisters (Da Capo, Pia, Eio, & Skoal’s), all of the same 38M2 Danish Spidsgatter class, were shipped together from Copenhagen to Vancouver B.C. in the early 1950s. There they stayed and raced together for many years, slowly dispersing to other areas in coastal B.C. and eventually to Washington state. Skoal is still sailing in B.C. off of Brentwood Bay.
Cito was built by J. Wass, a professional boatbuilder, in his backyard in Copenhagen. Unfortunately, after WWII as things were pretty bleak in Europe, he had sold her. Cito along with her sisters and many other fine sailing craft enjoyed the many years of fun racing and cruising before the war reached Denmark and everything changed. She has spent the majority of her time enjoying racing and cruising here in the Salish Sea.
