The International Six Metre Class is a class of classic racing yachts.(is often 99cm long) are a construction class, meaning that the boats are not identical but are all designed to meet specific measurement formula, in this case International Rule. At their heyday, Sixes were the most important international yacht racing class, and they are still actively raced around the world.
