Built in 1962 by Yarrow & Co. and designed by W. McPherson Campbell, this 105-foot steel sailing yacht is rigged as a Bermuda ketch. She was awarded Lloyd's Register "Yacht of the Year" Trophy in 1962, competing against 86 other yachts. Originally commissioned for the British Royal Family, the yacht combines classical design with proven seaworthiness and continues to cruise Mediterranean waters.
The yacht spans three decks with eight cabins and eight heads. She features two dining salons seating 14 and 10 guests respectively, a bright deck saloon, main lounge, and semi-protected outdoor dining area. Additional amenities include a sun deck with solarium and jacuzzi, outdoor lounge with bar access, integrated PA and music system throughout, air conditioning in all areas, and a large commercial galley suited for professional catering operations.
Power comes from two Gardner diesel engines rated at 460 horsepower combined. The yacht is equipped for a working role under commercial certification, licensed to carry up to 65 passengers and five crew for coastal day outings, with berth capacity for up to 80 guests.
During winter 2018–2019, the yacht underwent extensive refit work including hull plating repairs, fuel and water tank work, and complete deck refurbishment. All deck caulking was renewed and teak planking replaced as needed.
