CLASSIC BOAT JUNE 2019 3
Arriving at the New York Yacht Club's summerhouse in Newport, Rhode Island early last summer, to see
long-time CB correspondent Chris Museler and family aboard their schooner Magic was a real taste of the
glorious formality that has largely been forgotten by its inventors (the English) but that lives on in the USA. "Mr Museler will see
you aboard his yacht soon," said the barman before my colleague and I were ushered out to Mr Museler on a smart club launch.
I didn't know then the adventure Chris and the Museler clan had just been on, but he's written up his trip to the Bahamas for us
in this issue. No less thrilling was a ride on Farida last year, a yacht of such design purity, and so beautifully restored, that she
stands – nearly – in a class of her own. Both of these lovely boats are for owners who appreciate the ascetic – and aesthetic, come
to it – qualities of a boat more than those of mere comfort or convenience. The lengths they go to in order to express that are
inspiring. Even better, they really use their boats. After all, when a boat is "done" it is supposed to sail away, isn't it?
