The 15mR racing yacht ''Istria'' was designed by Charles Ernest Nicholson and built at the Camper & Nicholsons yard in Gosport, Hampshire, in 1912 for Sir Charles Carrick Allom. She was the first large yacht to be built with laminated frames and planking to save weight, the first to feature a marconi topmast and the first to feature a dinghy cockpit. She was broken up in 1924 in Norway. ==Design== In order to reduce the wetted surface yet retain stability, ''Istria''s hull shape consisted of a long forward overhang and a wide beam at the waterline. Yachting Monthly described her as "Short on the waterline, with large displacement, a fine tail and a useful snout, she would not have been a pretty vessel had she not proved clever. But as I have always insisted that efficiency is beauty, the blue 'fifteen' was admired". Her midsection also featured a distinctive tumblehome, a feature that Nicholson would repeat in subsequent boats designed to the IYRU International Rule.
