BROKER’S COMMENTS

One of the most original and philologically restored great sailing yachts of the past . She is really a true blue water cruiser thanks to her extremely strong and reliable construction and the care provided in the maintenances. Her shape and her look fulfil and gratify any classic yacht lover’s desire of beuty and harmony and John Alden’s powerful lines are a statement of seaworthiness. Since she is in the hands of the actual owners (1989) this yacht has been loved deeply and deeply respected maintaining her as much original as possible , but providing to guests and crew all sort of comforts without useless sophistications. The elegance and charm of her inside and the warm atmosphere enhanced by the light Oregon pine’s finish makes any guest feel the distinction and courtliness of an old time hospitality.

This yacht represents an icon and it is a the dream boat for every navigator, sailor and lover of the yachting history and design .
