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.

Friends we have made over thew past 4 years are now going to be seen much less often.... Our Portofino 52 catamaran will be shipped to Italy for the mast and launching and Portofino is moving to Fujairah. We are priviledged to be invited to the ceremony of the 10 Year Lease signing - with lots of pomp and ceremony. So we travel the 1 hour to Fugairah and can't believe our eyes - even before th contact is signed, work on the buildings and offices are already being built and quite far advanced... We are also invited to take part in a yacht race on Matrix, a carbon performance monohull - and this is serious stuff! Wile no money, lots of pride is at stake so see how we go. And EMARRASSINGLY, Eli gets trapped between the jib and stanchions in a tack and has to be pulled out by others.... Well, she is a catamaran sailor and not used to these lean over things!!!!
