As with most of Mylne's designs, the engine room is particularly spacious, and benefits from a steel bulkhead fore and aft. Unusually in a yacht of this vintage, there is room enough for all modern amenities and systems, including water maker, air conditioning units, pumps etc.

The choice is yours whether to dine in the comfortable cockpit or at the deck dining-table, were you can shelter from the midday sun under a lofty awning or enjoy a picturesque al-fresco sunset. Or if you'd prefer, why not take dinner in the formal saloon where period crockery and silverware add a touch of history to the occasion.

RIGGING & CONSTRUCTION
The only gaff-rigged yacht in the world to fly a jack yard topsail on both the main and the mizzen, her rig is as rare as it is authentic. Her only concession to modern materials is the use of Dacron in her sails and lines.
During her rebuild in 1993, traditional rigging expert, Harry Spencer of Cowes, constructed Columbian pine masts; gaffs and booms and rigged them with galvanised steel wire that is virtually indistinguishable from the originals.
Southampton Yacht Services craftsmen went to extraordinary lengths to salvage and repair surviving fittings where possible, or re-cast new ones using the originals as patterns. The result is a highly original rig that also provides exceptional sailing performance in all conditions.
Her sturdy construction of teak planking on steel frames required some restoration during her rebuild; however an astonishing 70% of her hull is original. Sun damaged topsides were renewed and a brand new teak stern was created to repair a long forgotten crash. Steering problems required her warped wooden rudder to be substituted with steel, while some of the original steel deck fittings were substituted with new bronze replicas, and the original teak deck was replaced, using the more modern technique of a ply sub-deck for rigidity and water tightness.
The original Thomas Reid anchor windlass was rebuilt using a hydraulic motor in place of the DC electric one, with the old steel drum ends recast in bronze.

HISTORY
Her story begins in 1936, when Sir Arthur Young, one of Scotland's leading yachtsmen, commissioned the legendary Alfred Mylne to design her. Built and launched the following year by the Clydeside yard of Alexander Stephen & Sons, she was an immediate success on the racing circuit, and went on to provide her owner and guests with many pleasurable years of cruising.
After Sir Young's death in the summer of 1949 she was sold and disappeared to Greece, and later Italy, where she slipped into decline. In 1993, a new owner commissioned Southampton Yacht Services to ship her from Italy to England, where a full refit was carried out. This restoration has seen her sail into the new century as a truly elegant example of living history.
RACING CREDENTIALS
When it comes to racing, she is a true thoroughbred, with an impressive history of successful competition.
After a flying start in 1937 when she won both her class and the overall prize at the Torbay Coronation Regatta, she continued to race extensively until World War Two. Following her re-launch, from 1994 until the present day, she has been the jewel of the Mediterranean fleets, frequently taking first place amongst serious competition in Antibes, Imperia, Porto Cervo, Monaco, Cannes, St Tropez.
In 1997 she won a prize as one of the only gaff-rigged classics to complete the gruelling Atlantic Challenge Cup, and in 2000 she was the darling of the Antigua Classic Regatta, winning her own division, the overall fleet and the “Boat International Concours d'Elegance” against such favourites as Endeavour, Mariette and Whitehawk. The following year she again showed her prowess with a first in the 2001 America's Cup jubilee of Cowes.
