sH23 “Ariadne” was not ready to start in the Kattegat Cup 1918, however, she represented K.D.Y. Denmark in the Kattegat Cup 1919. Winner of the Kattegat Cup in both 1918 and 1919 was sH5 “Apache”, owner Magnus Konow representing KNS, Norway. Challenger in 1918 was sH32 “Sif”representing G.K.S.S., Sweden under the name “Borgila”.
