Fred Shepherd Staysail Schooner
Many yacht designers achieved fame through the prowess of their racing yachts. Fred Shepherd by contrast is famous for cruising boats; always beautiful with the sweetest sheers but with spacious and thoroughly well thought out accommodation. CARRINA has much of her original detail - indeed her interior joinery exquisite at build, remains so to this day. With her handy rig it is not hard to imagine her cruising in the 1930s for her owner and guests with just 2 crew or easily criss-crossing the Atlantic to be one of the first charter boats in the burgeoning Caribbean scene of the 1950s. CARRINA epitomises not only the skill of her designer but the very essence of an English yacht. Many yacht designers achieved fame through the prowess of their racing yachts.
