Nothing is quite as fine as just sailing a classic yacht. 30 years of

racing and cruising RUGOSA provided extreme pleasure for

Halsey C. Herreshoff and friends.

NY 40 yachts earned the accolade “Fighting Forties.” RUGOSA

has emulated that competitive spirit by winning the 1928 Bermu-

da Race and scores of conquests since. Trophies show wins in

Nantucket, Newport, New York, Cannes, St. Tropez, Antigua and

especially at Cowes, the championship of the America’s Cup

Jubilee over 57 other classic yachts. RUGOSA, fleet of speed,

strong of structure, comely of style, has also served admirable

for world-wide cruising: Transatlantic, Baltic, Mediterranean

and Caribbean. Whether in exotic ports, crossing Loch Ness, or

sailing the Greek Islands, RUGOSA has been universally

admired. Let this all continue under new ownership of RUGOSA!

Purchase inquires welcomed.
