John passed away in 1915, and Nathanael Herreshoff took the helm, which led to the creation of the steel schooner Wildfire.Known as Project 891, Wildfire was constructed in 1922 and launched in 1923. Wildfire was commissioned by Charles Hardy, commodore of the New York Yacht Club for a cost of $76,000, which is around $1,348,280 in today’s valuation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271314/image/large-abf0aab29ca7e0c9a8efc56d89a48556.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271314">Wildfire was launched with a 20.5-feet beam, an almost 4-metre draft, and an overall length of 95 feet (29-metres). The impressive schooner won regattas and tournaments, including the Schooner Cup in 1924.In 1949, Wildfire entered the Brazilian waters after being purchased by Jorge Bhering de Matos in the United States. She was then sold to Dircea Fortouta, an industrial entrepreneur, who christened her <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2065" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Atrevida32.0m (104'12&quot;)Herreshoff1923">Atrevida</a>– meaning a daring, bold woman who is ready for any challenge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271318/image/large-5f0e71067010a50452c710779dfd7954.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271318"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2065" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Atrevida32.0m (104'12&quot;)Herreshoff1923">Atrevida</a> spent 45 years in Brazil, in the Guanabara Bay located in Southeast Brazil in the state of Rio de Janeiro were she welcomed royalty such as the now King Charles III of the United Kingdom, and celebrities such as Elvis Presley, Brazilian music artist Billy Blanco, actress Rita Hayworth and Former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.&nbsp;Over the years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2065" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Atrevida32.0m (104'12&quot;)Herreshoff1923">Atrevida</a> underwent renovations which affected her overall appearance and design, but thankfully not her charm. After the death of her owner, the yacht was taken to the city of Santos, Brazil to her new owner Auro Mourandrade.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271316/image/large-517766f904e987198966efa6270603ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271316">In the 1990s, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1180" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MCP Yachts (Company)">MCP Yachts</a> owned by naval engineer Manoel Chaves, were enlisted to begin her restoration. The 1922 schooner received a new teak deck and interior renovations and in 1999 she was sold to a group of Asian businessmen, where she returned to Rio de Janeiro.However, due to a lack of maintenance care, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2065" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Atrevida32.0m (104'12&quot;)Herreshoff1923">Atrevida</a> almost sank in Guanabara Bay and was neglected for almost two years, leading to holes and rust forming on her steel hull and superstructure. But in 2002, Auro Mourandrade and Gilberto Miranda bought Atrevida as scrap metal and enlisted Manoel Chaves to take care of her restoration. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271317/image/large-6badd5ce3106318f744a3a73c6877ad0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271317">The holes she had gained over the years were first closed before she was towed from Rio de Janeiro to Santos by a fishing boat for the start of her repairs. The shipyard she was shipped to specialised in aluminium trawlers and therefore could not use the same installations for the work in carbon steel.As a result of this, a yard was reserved at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1180" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MCP Yachts (Company)">MCP Yachts</a> for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2065" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Atrevida32.0m (104'12&quot;)Herreshoff1923">Atrevida</a> and the shipyard was in touch with the Herreshoff Museum in Bristol to find the original construction plans for Wildfire.

The yard also created a fibreglass auxiliary boat in the same dimensions as her original wood counterpart, with identical rudders, helm, controls and upholstery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/270890/image/large-4d667d1fc2e366a14366fea44910e662.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/270890">Everything else onboard was repaired and rebuilt as close to her original design as possible, and her name was engraved across doors, tables and other items onboard. The historical importance of the project can be seen in the main living areas, with bevelled glass and curtains, which are the same style as she would have had when she was first built.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/270889/image/large-3b4dc602a33be0f3cd77229e3305e86a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/270889">Her interior has been finished with traditionally styled beams, crystal styled cabinets and classic upholstered seating, following her reclaimed designs. Her rigging has also been equipped with modern day technologies such as telephone and internet connections to keep guests onboard entertained and up-to-date.

While her original interior was well configured, it was also very much of its time, with panelled interiors, dark furnishings and leather sofas. She had begun to look her age and with her owner considering the sale of the yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3089" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Miss Silver36.19m (118'9&quot;)Alloy Yachts1995">Miss Silver</a> returned to Auckland where she was due to undergo the refit. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261800/image/large-340f0ca504cd5506f9513cc09228d35b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261800"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/60" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alloy Yachts (Company)">Alloy Yachts</a>, however, had closed its doors in 2016 due to a decreased demand for large sailing yachts and the team had been disbanded. While New Zealand has its fair share of yacht owners and certainly a very large number of sub-24-metre sailing and motor yachts, few big boat facilities survived and many of the shipwrights had pivoted careers into different sectors. Through friendships with a number of Alloy yacht owners, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3089" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Miss Silver36.19m (118'9&quot;)Alloy Yachts1995">Miss Silve</a>r’s owner managed to connect with a number of the original team who’d built her back in the 1990s.

The 60-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/113" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CMN Yacht Division (Company)">CMN Yacht Division</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/319" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="O'Eva60.0m (196'10&quot;)CMN Yacht Division2009">O'Eva</a> has been launched at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/778" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Golden Yachts Ltd. (Company)">Golden Yachts</a> following an extensive refit. The superyacht was originally delivered in 2009 to designs by British firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design</a>, and the refit aimed to preserve the details of the original interior, whilst toning down the existing grey plaster features, Inox metal and dark wooden floors to give her a contemporary aesthetic.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/264219/image/large-ab6a61e94b3d73a4be3275cea33735ac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/264219">The yacht has now been finished in a custom colour scheme with a Whisper Grey hull and a Matterhorn White superstructure. In addition to her new exterior colour scheme, the main saloon and upper deck lounge has been redesigned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1156" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Massari Design S.r.l.

The relation between the outdoor and indoor areas is also fully experienced in the dining area of the upper deck, where the circular doors disappear laterally and blur the lines between in and outdoor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/264226/image/large-9abaaa6e4e1f2111841abf66447edb5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/264226">Project Manager Captain George Mousseris commented, “The yacht’s most distinguishing aspect is surely the quality of its construction. It’s not only the exterior lines and details of the fittings, but the hull shape as well, which gives the feeling of a robust vessel and the confidence to cruise even under the most difficult sailing circumstances. Moreover, compared to the rest of the 60-metre yachts in the market, the volume of interior and exterior areas is also quite impressive. The accommodation areas are comfortable, not only for the guests on board but there has been a serious ergonomic study also for the crew quarters and movement throughout the boat.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/264220/image/large-c1ca670f3243d669c6762af97bbaedf9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/264220">“With the first step we took on board <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/319" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="O'Eva60.0m (196'10&quot;)CMN Yacht Division2009">O’E</a>va, the quality of the woods, lacquers and design details, predisposed us to a construction of high standards. Soft fabrics with complementing Artwork and cozy lounge areas, identify each and every area of the interior with the aim to provide the most welcoming and warm feeling,” added Dimitra Agapitou, Architect/Interior coordinator. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/264221/image/large-0a21c4d1aa56f6c0cbac6ce1f2840ac6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/264221"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/319" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="O'Eva60.0m (196'10&quot;)CMN Yacht Division2009">O'Eva</a> can accommodate as many as 12 guests between her six staterooms, with a convertible additional stateroom on the owner's deck. Each of the staterooms are uniquely designed, with different colour palettes used in each. The master suite has its own private office, 180-degree observation lounge that can be turned into the double stateroom with a private ensuite<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/264223/image/large-02f272615db53effc1a45269f7166a05.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/264223">Mr Vassilis Dragnis in collaboration with Mrs Anna Chatzinassiou of ACH ART Advisory have carefully curated the artwork and sculpture onboard and additional top features include her 360-degree view Jacuzzi on the sun deck. This deck is also home to a bar, barbecue corner and a large lounge area.Upon completion, the superyacht will be delivered in time for the summer charter season.
