Aleksandra

Aleksandra is a racing yacht owned by the Royal Family of Brunant. She was designed by Baglietto and built in 1952 in Italy. She was raced in in the early 1950s by her first owner. She was purchased by Crown Prince Marten in 1954 and named her after his wife, Princess Aleksandra.

History
Aleksandra has been the royal yacht since 1954, bought and kept in La Spezia, Italy. She was taken to Switzerland in 1956 as Marten was posted to the embassy in Bern. In 1958 she was taken to Brunant and in 1959 permanently based at the pot in Grijzestad.

King Marten stopped sailing in the mid-1970s, and by then Prince Anthony was an accomplished sailor. In recent years, Prince Alexander has made most use out of the boat, but Queen Helene and Prince Bernd have also used her.

She was restored in 1991.
