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.

Finalmente abbiamo comprato la barca... di nuovo! Trovare qualcosa di giusto per noi, allineato al nostro budget con i prezzi delle barche usate alle stelle non è stata un'operazione facile... ma come sempre ci piace fare tutto quello che in generale le persone "sane di mente" considerano impossibile! Così eccoci qui! Qualcuno come noi si è scontrato con il rincaro dei prezzi dell'usato? Ehi e quasi dimenticavo! Abbiamo deciso di ricominciare a raccontarvi le nostre peripezie sul canale YouTube Valeila Sail. Scrivici la tua nei commenti! Ahoi marinai! #vivereinbarca #valeilasail #famigliainbarca
