CAMBRIA (along with her 75-feet waterline length cousins ASTRA and CANDIDA, the first three ‘Big Class’ yachts to be bermudan-rigged from launch) has long been dubbed a 23-Metre. However, while designed to rate around that figure under the International Rule, a key element of her survival into the 21st Century – still a magnificent racer-cruiser; every sweet William Fife III curve still in place while supporting perhaps the tallest of all truly wooden masts – is her stout original construction to Lloyd’s then highest specifications for wood and wood-composite yachts, rather than to the lighter International Rule scantlings. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/792/william-fife-iii-111ft-big-class-cutter-19282016 Thus CAMBRIA, adored, maintained and respected for most of her life, has remarkably never required a total rebuild restoration. Her soul remains intact through recent major refits “sympathetic to her origins and respectful of her history”, and this is immediately apparent on first stepping aboard this happy, beautiful, historic, and very special classic yacht.

If you woke up tomorrow and won a sailboat lottery, but the prize wasn't cash... it was a choice between two very different 47-foot sailboats, what would you do?

If you guys know one thing about Riles and I, it’s that we never back away from some friendly competition ;) We recently hit the water for a race with @strickandfran . They decided upon a traditional style powerboat, fully confident she could take on our sailboat… and it was full throttle, full laughs all the way to the end! We’re still debating who won… let us know what you think in the comments ahaha!
