With so few Pettersson launches for sale, particularly in the UK, VIRGO is a very attractive proposition for anyone looking to acquire an excellent example of C.G. Pettersson’s work, or simply a gorgeous ‘runabout’ or tender. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/553/VIRGO VIRGO is a classic wooden launch designed by the renowned C.G. Pettersson of Sweden in 1925 and fully restored to her former glory by the craftsmen of Clare Lallow’s boatyard at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. When one looks at her beautifully varnished hull and gleaming fittings, you would find it hard to appreciate that this vintage launch is nearly 90 years old. With her new Beta 60 Marine engine, ancillary gear and completely new electrical systems, VIRGO combines classic 1920s style - especially Pettersson’s trademark raised foredeck - with 21st Century technology.

We are Ziggy and Nat, a couple who not so long ago knew nothing about sailing. Fast forward few years and we are proud to say we know a thing or two about sailing, we bought a boat and now we are refitting that boat with a plan to leave the life we know behind. The RYA Start Yachting was our first course. We loved it and wanted more. At that time we had no idea how big the community of boaters is. We met fantastic people on each and every course we did. For the first time since we moved to the UK we felt like we were part of something. The sailing community was welcoming, friendly and so inspiring. We found a lifestyle we knew we wanted for ourselves. We bought Squalo a 1981 Oyster 39”, the day after our Yachtmaster Offshore exam. She ticked so many boxes of things we wanted from a blue water cruiser. But she was neglected, and although we had no experience in boat refit, “surely, it can’t be that difficult.” we thought. So here we are. Putting blood, sweat and at times even tears into our yacht Squalo. Because not only she will be a vessel taking us to the most remote places on earth.. she will become our floating home for many years to come. We are documenting our experiences during the refit and sharing this journey with others.
