Meltemi in the port of Le Grazie di Portovenere

Meltemi in the beautiful port of Le Grazie di Portovenere on 17 May 2008. The gentlemen’s yacht was designed and built in the United Kingdom by J Samuel White in 1931 as Braemar. Her first owner, a captain, sailed all over the world and crossed the Atlantic several times. Nowadays she is owned by an Italian who restored the yacht inside-out to her former glory.
