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.

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, between Turkey and Cyprus, we stopped the engine and went for a dip in the sweltering heat. All we needed to complete the scene was Billy Zane to appear over the transom! www.followtheboat.com tales (not just) from the high seas
