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 (Yard number 204). She was the first large yacht to be built with laminated frames and planking to save weight, the first to feature a Marconi topmast[1] and the first to feature a dinghy cockpit. She was broken up in 1924 in Norway.
