This week we're focusing on the 10mR's of the fleet so let's begin by taking a peek into how Marga of 1910 was found, rescued and restored by employing traditional boatbuilding skills and by recreating the very techniques with which she was assembled more than a hundred years ago.

The Classic Yacht Experience - Craftsmanship
As we're focusing on the winter maintenance and restoration of our fleet at the shipyard this week, it's only fair to give praise to our talented, passionate, skilled and hardworking craftsman at Tecnomar Shipyard who work tirelessly each day on our beautiful boats. The precision in their work is without a doubt second to none and they're the ones who behind the scenes, keep the heritage alive.

PURITAN 1930 - The Beginning
In early 1929 John Alden put pen to paper and began design number 0435B, a design which was to become one of his largest schooners to date. Already a renowned naval architect, this yacht would become one of his most recognisable. Even on paper, her fine lines and luxurious interior plan exude the opulence of what she would later become.
Despite losing her first patron to the talons of the Great Depression, within months the project had been saved. On August 12th, 1930, Edward W. Brown signed the contract with the Electric Boat Company in Connecticut, and within a month her keel was laid. She was now to be named Puritan. On April 25th, 1931, at approximately 2:30pm, Barbara L. Gray smashed a bottle of champagne on her bow and sent her down the ways.

Capri Classica 2019 - Short Film
In May some of the world’s most famous classic schooners gathered in Capri to compete in the Capri Classica 2019, the inaugural regatta of the International Schooner Association (“ISA”) organised by The Classic Yacht Experience.
