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. In March 2004, a skilled team of professionals embarked on her restoration work by installing modern equipment, while maintaining <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>’s character.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271319/image/large-fc60e6933c53a85be1b3c04b206e9af8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271319">During her extensive 14 month restoration, <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> gained the most up-to-date amenities, such as air conditioning, onboard computers and electronics and a new navigation system, as well as wireless bow and stern thrusters and a remote controlled sail hoisting system. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271321/image/large-da87cbbec66f07f4a4f181b2b2b7204f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271321">In tradition with the era in which she was built, her chain shock absorbers, balustrade stays, rigging system and other stainless steel items were built and engraved with her name, Atrevida.

The recent refit in Amsterdam was more modest, but her new owner spared no expense, even shipping the yacht back to her original yard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/268371/image/large-00eb04c065fc46b3b28bf52bb9e26377.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/268371">“Acquired by a serial <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> owner last year, the yacht was in excellent condition at the time of sale, but he determined to bring her back to the Netherlands to ensure his <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> remains a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>,” says Pier Posthuma de Boer, director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> Refit and Services. “We were actually full when the owner contacted us, but we’re always proud when long-term clients bring their yachts back to us for refit work, so we adjusted our schedules and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4664" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Catch26.54m (87'1&quot;)Feadship1984">Catch</a> is now back in the water.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/268372/image/large-f1fb49f71e6bcd02ac37d2bec4e3f586.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/268372">When the yacht arrived last summer, the owner, who has long experience of refitting his other <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>s, visited the shipyard in person and a plan was developed so work could start immediately after the summer holidays under the guidance of his representative Peter Wilson of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/742" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MCM (Company)">MCM</a> and designer Adam <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1974" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adam Voorhees (Company)">Voorhees</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/268369/image/large-c6b64f245afb59e589005915ae60efbc.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/268369">“It was amazing working with Peter, Adam and the owner,” adds Patrick Dekker, Project Manager Refit. “The relationship worked so well because we already knew the owner’s team and they were able to take decisions on the spot.

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.
