Designed by Fife of Fairlie, Scotland, and built by Nevins of City Island, New York -- yacht design and build pedigree doesn’t get much better. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/780/FIFI When Larchmont Yacht Club member Harry L. Maxwell decided to join the burgeoning mid-1920s Long Island Sound Universal Rule R-Class fleet, his Ulster-Scots ancestry took him to William Fife III for the design of FIFI and he had her built relatively locally by the perfectionist, Henry B. Nevins. During seven summers of hard class racing, and many more as a performance cruiser-racer that’s a lot of fun to sail, FIFI’s pedigree stood her in good stead. The inevitable later life deep restoration in current ownership means that FIFI enters her second century as strong if not stronger than her first, and as beautiful as ever.
If you are an exhausted (or lazy) pigeon intending to move from the swedish west coast and cross the "Skaw" to spend some summertime on the norwegian south coast, what do you do? - If your timing is in line with the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 finish in Gothenburg you could go for a ride on one of the worlds fastest monohull sailboats, a norwegian owned "Volvo Open 70"..
