Yesterday was the third day of racing at the world’s most prestigious regatta in St Barths as the 23-strong superyacht fleet set off on a 22-25 nm course littered with several natural turning marks on the western side of the Caribbean island. Sailing in a separate fleet, yesterday was also the fourth of five races for the J Class sailors. Below is a recap of the day’s results. &nbsp;Photos by Jeff Brown / Breed Media<img src="/uploads/store/photo/29162/image/large-f097957ba22bce2fe81173afda3b5d00.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29162"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29169/image/large-7d4f868f8b9a79176d5bffeed543f778.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29169"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29164/image/large-5081eaadf3120153d8724768f887a4ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29164"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29170/image/large-6f9f6e660586d34de8fd1f6986e69244.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29170"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29166/image/large-6a0ea5ee3f85a8ebaac2ac93d37d1bd2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29166"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29171/image/large-3efad11d7678db1f4eaf8e2ccdefe08c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29171"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29167/image/large-ccf7b2c4f5cf32257c8fdef229a5fddf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29167"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29172/image/large-c8e6f7ea1a34798d30bf10e00dbdc482.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29172"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29160/image/large-3f6e50caa36156dd85c4b88acf1fe751.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29160"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29173/image/large-4f5b355603cf2f5ae70ecc1a506f6ede.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29173"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29157/image/large-ea2cbf041f4cdefccf22b23c63f35107.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29157"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29174/image/large-b015995419b061b8a22200b7becb4201.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29174"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29165/image/large-9eef2896a01a7736d070ac2bcbc8e2d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29165"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29163/image/large-c76064ce862da3d93bc6f3ee3ff6e24f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29163"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29159/image/large-6e24d31e6a889b7bea5cb5bd62634bf0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29159"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29158/image/large-fe662d9bff1e457c3380a5aafad1f7a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29158"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29161/image/large-6c70acc22bd6b845d46f96745da5f5e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29161">

Racing action from St Barths Bucket 2018 Day 3

The 2018 edition of the St Barths Bucket kicked off on Thursday, where some of the world’s fastest, coolest sailing superyachts spent the day preparing for three days of Caribbean racing. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/29065/image/large-33de7e127e6a50d44f2668903b930c40.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29065"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/29071/image/large-f5bc64ac49f4cadf4fa01071b9c05783.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/29071">Day 2 of the event saw the first race day for the pursuit class after Day 1 was reserved for two J Class races which saw Svea walk away with the day's win followed closely by Topaz and Valsheda.

In Pictures: Day 2 at the St Barths Bucket 2018

With a fleet that's teeming with regatta regulars, carbon flyers and yachts boasting the world's top sailors it comes as no surprise that the racing these past two days has been as tight as ever. For example on the 90ft Nautor Swan Odin almost half of their sail-savvy team consist of Olympic and America's Cup sailors. Also the performance Perini P2 is sailed hard by an equally large amount of big name sailors who have been racing together for many years now. This year the team was complemented by Archie Leeu (18) and Thami Hoza (17), two students from the South African Lawhill Maritime Centre who have been selected by Marine Inspirations to race as part of the crew in order to get some hands-on seamanship and expose them to possible yachting career opportunities.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155087/image/large-0eebc8c20820a329137ec46076308613.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155087"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155088/image/large-2b625ee3d6238e373cd830c85eaabb33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155088"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155089/image/large-5d69aae34621e32197fe2abb5dc1bfbb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155089">Both the first and second day of racing has seen some intense superyacht competition: smart tactics, close racing and fierce battles. So there was still a lot to tussle for during today's ultimate showdown. In Class A it was the beautiful, black ketch Marie who went into the final race day with a lead of two bullets, sitting a comfortable 3 points above regatta veteran P2. In Class B things were extra exciting with both team Odin and the dazzling, carbon flyer Inouï sharing four points, just one point ahead of yesterday's winner Kiboko Dos. And in Class C it was the new Oyster Maegan who went into today's last St. Regis Race with 2 points over Clan VIII and Blue Too.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155090/image/large-f2794227d8d20a950b1e3f7f2b44c5c0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155090"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155091/image/large-00413dbce3717b8a8bc60c68cd7cebb5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155091"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155092/image/large-e7323578298854c427b77ee36c2d9bd8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155092">Today's clear skies and the prediction of Palma's trustworthy SW sea breeze peaking mid -afternoon meant the 21-strong fleet were in for a real treat going into the deciding race. The race committee opted for a riveting and tactical 27.5nm course which started the fleet off on a downwind leg, to keep the competitors on their toes. Racing got underway at 13.00 and saw Thursday's Class winner Clan VIII round the leeward mark first, followed closely by classic lined Blue Too and Claasen's Truly Classic Heartbeat. Heartbeat bagged a class win during last year's SYC and claimed overall victory the year before so clearly has a lot of race winning potential.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155093/image/large-f47911353efafe21a8f426b71883a8fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155093"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155094/image/large-a9a44a519afe70ec5be80c14ad700318.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155094"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155095/image/large-41fa4ad0eecb8a514819fd2d5122ba6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155095">The second mark saw a reversal with both Blue Too and Heartbeat snatching the lead from Clan VIII. The drama ran deeper in Class A as P2 ran over their kite in the drop and got it wrapped around their keel. Team P2 had to retire from the race just like the giant of the fleet, the 60m P^3, who suffered from technical issues on board.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155096/image/large-dbdfc6ea6f817e6b2de1639c5a7ef4bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155096">The classically elegant Maria Cattiva, who's competing this year for the fifth time, was the first round Bahia two, ahead of Maegan and Marie. Still on her A game the 55m Marie chased Maria Cattiva down and rounded Illetas 1.28 minutes before Maria Cattiva and 2.49 minutes before yesterday's Class C winner Maegan. The black hulled Vitters built boat was not giving an inch today and screamed around the fifth, sixth and seventh mark, leaving first the all-carbon cruiser Win Win and then, the newly reinforced Open Season to chase her down.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155097/image/large-90aca53422fa0fd3bc28fdf3f90c9253.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155097"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155098/image/large-3d2a74f553098ce2942dba7979c2b445.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155098"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155099/image/large-8f03c1877198c7757b850cc14ce873dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155099">The 30m Wally Open Season, known for cleaning up on the race course, managed to sneak out in front and round the 8th Porrasa mark first, 2.15 minutes in front of the cool and uncluttered Saudade. She continued to power down to the finish line, crossing 2.15 minutes in front of Visione and 3.07 minutes ahead of the 45m Wally Saudade.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155100/image/large-7b1a0fbdd60be6704baac312daed92a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155100">In Class A it was the unbeatable, cannon firing Marie who kept her class win from yesterday and the day before. Slick crew maneuvrings and solid sailing in Class B saw the exciting, high- caliber superyacht Inouï charge home to claim the win while the 45m Perini Clan VIII, again took top slot in Class C.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155101/image/large-15be7ece936ed8788ab2dcaf2b895bea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155101"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155102/image/large-9732d9c585f24a2c06c72fc79aea9075.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155102"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155103/image/large-1c6638a90b950f99707a37a78574d450.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155103">After corrections were applied the final calls were made and it was Marie who triumphed in Class A. And the 33m Inouï and the 25m Oyster built Maegan were victorious in Class B and C respectively. A big 'hurrah' goes to the mighty Marie who, with a clean sweep of no less than 3 firsts, is the overall winner of the Superyacht Cup 2015!<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155104/image/large-923c0267c2a7d7eb033e7107049ab9fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155104"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155105/image/large-becddfc3a68c3fd95ba81402327db17c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155105">This 19th edition concluded with the spectacular prize-giving with some of the very best of the superyacht sailing scene concentrated in the Superyacht Cup's race village, suntanned, smiling and still animatedly discussing the day's events.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155106/image/large-b38797d5b163d951935738c8b8e8b0e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155106">As 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes were awarded in each class, groups of at least 20 grinning sailors stormed the stage while receiving plenty of whistles and woo's from the convivial crowd. Fellow competitors were thanked for the past great days on the water assuring their return next year to passionately defend their title. One of the high points of the evening was off course the announcement of this year's overall winner, the 55m classic ketch Marie. No doubt the 9 winning teams will have a big night of celebrations ahead.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155107/image/large-4807417ac1e82a2a634896c1dbe8c1f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155107"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155108/image/large-33f917ff81c83e705cc6f12b8b37b191.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155108">And while the end of the day caps a close to another successful Superyacht Cup, owners, race crew, industry titans, family and friends shake hands and congratulate each other on a job well done. Before heading home or back to the boat though, a good dose of Superyacht Cuppers will be making their way down to Pascha's after party, along Palma's pretty, palm tree lined Paseo Maritimo, to kick off some sailing steam and have a last but probably very late one...By The Superyacht Cup, photos by Charl van Rooy

Marie overall winner of the SYC 2015

The past few weeks has seen the crews of all 21 competitors packing sails, protecting the interior, making the bottom of the boat squeaky clean and between each other buying enough Gatorade and Power bars to sink a superyacht. All necessary preparations have been made and the fleet were ready and raring to race the first, Pantaenius race.<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; background-image: none; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154907/image/large-bf7b1ccedd0070269e4e81690dfba51e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154907"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154908/image/large-f8fe684acbda164d6eda627a96b663b1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154908"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154909/image/large-62681735878d6d195f2143aff6480679.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154909">This 19th Cup edition sees an entry list as varied as ever, with superyachts ranging from the 24m Claasen built Heartbeat to the 60m Perseus^3, which boasts the world's largest single sail, a bewildering 2600m2 A2 spinnaker. And the coming few days will be setting the scene for a showdown between quite a few entrants who have been crossing swords with each other at previous regatta's. For example regatta regular P2 and the 45m Baltic built Visione have been neck-neck at each race during the St. Barths Bucket. It's the first time these highly competitive yachts will be racing together in Palma and we're sure none of them will be wanting to give the other any quarter.<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; background-image: none; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154910/image/large-7762737a69678dca22007a3bea8fc872.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154910"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154911/image/large-c1ecb6fd5f684a11d039fd8fc268ad9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154911"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154912/image/large-f5652a3e1807ef1d532ad1abddb2ec7e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154912">To ensure close racing between boats of comparable speed the fleet has been divided into three classes and for the first time this year the SYC will be implementing the all new ORC-sy rating rule. Tested and trialled previously in St. Barths and at both Loro Piana regattas this new handicapping system is heavily based on objectivity and clarity; event director Kate Branagh explains: "The main thing with the new rule is that it is transparent and you can understand how your handicap is achieved. It has brought people back into the game that had previously been out; boats want to know they are being treated fairly and that they have a chance of winning. It shows the owners and crew that it is being taken seriously- there is an awful lot of science, thought and process that goes into it."<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154913/image/large-146e491934fbe8a600417d03dc7c72cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154913"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154914/image/large-2a45baa7c70e6aebbcaef4ef496be03b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154914"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154915/image/large-0361f5fd874687398458274e094cc24c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154915"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154916/image/large-e94bd269ac26103374cb9df746de566b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154916">The race committee selected a 25 mile course which would make the most of the light air conditions. The day dawned sunny with clear, bright, blue skies and although light winds were predicted the sea breeze kicked in early afternoon to deliver a steady 12-14 knots. Today's first Pantaenius Race got underway at 13.00 and proceeded at two minute staggered intervals and saw the hefty 45m Clan VIII get off first to a great start. She was followed by the Claasen built, Truly Classic Heartbeat and first-timer Blue Too. By the time the fleet condensed on the run towards the second mark the conditions were great and the sailing was beautiful. Even though it was the 26m Tulip who charged ahead, the 55m Vitters built Marie with America's Cup veteran Tony Rey calling tactics, forged through the fleet to round first, closely pursued by the 28m Southern Wind Kiboko Dos, modern classic Tulip and the 27m Nautor Swan built Odin.<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; background-image: none; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154917/image/large-01e2bcb6355d3ad2b79eb16b184a6d3c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154917"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154918/image/large-721871b2435d0f63b106dd26ab3b0b69.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154918"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154919/image/large-069db38b995b8013eeb9a67bac9461cc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154919">The mighty black hulled classic ketch Marie kept the upper hand and powered along to round the third mark first, but was chased hard by Kiboko Dos who managed to snatch the lead on the long beat up to the 4th mark. In Class B the well powered Visione rounded the 5th mark in front of the rest of the fleet, unstoppable she ripped towards the finish crossing the line 4.24 minutes before carbon racer-cruiser Win Win, who had been under pressure from the newly reinforced 30m Wally Open Season who finished a skinny 12 seconds after.<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; background-image: none; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154920/image/large-d999e7e99a46625da26638eba869a411.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154920"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154921/image/large-b7183a23b6b6791a90fe1ace08ed4500.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154921"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154922/image/large-7fccab8090b11a9efbae5f4dc9388d1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154922">Savvy tactics and great sailing on board the 33m Vitters built Inouï was good for a first victory finishing just 5 seconds ahead of Odin on corrected time, both storming in with a solid 16-17 knots blowing. "It was great; great start, great steady wind and a nice class for us and we expect to do more time like this, it should be a good few days!" Smiled Inouï's Captain Stephane Luca. The 33m Win Win who has been the talk of terra firms took third. "I'll tell you what, with the building breeze all day and excitement escalating throughout the whole race it was pretty spectacular and the second upwind leg we had probably 9 superyachts all lined up, heading at a similar speed, just charging, charging, charging towards the shore" enthuses Clive Walker, captain on Win Win.<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; background-image: none; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154923/image/large-c74da8a3421ef6f89ecd8f09d05d8812.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154923"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154924/image/large-68e91ae83cf498403d5b996e09e389ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154924"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154925/image/large-78e78917b841afbc1f759d1578c48865.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154925">In Class A it was Marie's day in the sun as she came out on top crossing the line 3minutes and 2 seconds before the 46m Ganesha, with Matt Humphries calling tactics, who has competed in every major ocean race including six Sydney Hobart's and 5 Volvo's.

21 Yachts to compete in the Superyacht Cup Palma

One of the world’s best known and most highly regarded names in international superyacht design officially opens its doors in Vancouver on March 3rd, marking a carefully planned expansion to the western seaboard. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/134058/image/large-b5add8108c2edf59a0bbfa75dea316fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127950">New Zealand-born Ron Holland established a reputation for designing exceptionally fast and successful racing yachts during the 1970s, working from his rapidly-expanding studio at Cork in the south of Ireland. Loyal owners soon asked him to design large cruising yachts too – they wanted comfort and style, but they wanted Ron to inject his talent for achieving performance and sea-keeping ability. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/134059/image/large-12cf6dbd650366d3957c28df890caac7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133570">By the mid 1980s Ron had designed the world’s first 100ft performance superyacht and after that he did not look back. He and his team have created a wide range of sail and power yachts for some of the world’s wealthiest, most experienced and discerning clients. They include the 247ft/75m sloop <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/301">Mirabella V</a>, which features the world’s tallest single-masted rig; and the award-winning 150ft/46m Transocean Explorer, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2307">Marco Polo</a>, which broke new ground with her innovative and energy-efficient propulsion systems. Ron Holland Design’s new Vancouver office is stunningly situated overlooking Coal Harbour and beyond to the snow-capped mountains surrounding Howe Sound. Here, Ron and his team will collaborate with their colleagues in Kinsale, led by Head Designer Rob Doyle, to provide an active and accessible platform for doing business with European, North American and Asia-Pacific clients and their advisers. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/134060/image/large-1c4edfec5893af56072f55d25f8559d4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133402">Ron Holland Vancouver already has projects in construction, out to yard tender or in advanced stages of design whilst, in the UK, the 150ft/46m custom ketch <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2790">Christopher</a> has just been launched at Pendennis Shipyard. Immediately following sea trials, Christopher will sail to the Caribbean island of St Barths where Ron Holland will join her enthusiastic owners to compete in the annual St Barth’s Bucket. Christopher will be in good company at this special, 25th anniversary, edition of the Bucket Regattas as there will be at least five Ron Holland-designed superyachts also competing. In addition to Christopher, these are Mirabella V, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/375">Ethereal</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/43">Helios</a> and <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2089">Charlatan</a>. Ron Holland Design, Freedom Marine and Platinum Marine look forward to welcoming visitors to the RHD Open House at 100-510 Nicola St., Coal Harbour, Vancouver from 4 – 7pm on March 3rd 2011.

Ron Holland Design opens doors in Vancouver 

Northrop &amp; Johnson’s Ann Avery of the Fort Lauderdale office and Bruce Leffers of Newport office have sold the 33.94 metre sailing yacht Charlatan. The superyacht exudes classic beauty, character and quality. She functions superbly. This is thanks to her original owner, who took the culmination of his many years of cruising experience to build his 11th yacht, Charlatan.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/134020/image/large-bcb5a4700d866b1abc560805f698b4f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/134020">Built by Alloy Yachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2089" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">Charlatan</a> is at once a traditional yacht with lovely sheer, counter stern, teak decks and classic wood interior, yet modern with in-furling booms, bow and stern thrusters, a hydraulic transom and the amenities of a 21st century home. In addition, just two years ago in 2008, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2089" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">Charlatan</a> completed an extensive refit at the Pendennis Shipyard.
