Material: SteelMARIQUITA is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful classic yachts sailing today. Designed and built for industrialist
Arthur Stothert by William Fife III she was launched in 1911 at Fairlie on the Clyde river in Scotland.
As a gaff rigged cutter of the 19 Metre Class MARIQUITA is a direct link to the historic
Big Class and a precursor to the J-Class that would follow in the 1930’s.
When launched MARIQUITA caught the imagination of everyone that followed sailing just
before the First World War and, over a hundred years later, she still does since being
entirely restored by Fairlie Restorations in 2003 following the highest standards in wooden
construction. The same year she set sail once again and is now one of the stars of the
Classic Circuit. Over the last decade she has sailed on the Clyde, Cowes, Falmouth,and countless Mediterranean regattas including Monaco Classic Week, Regates Royales
de Cannes and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
She represents a unique opportunity to enter into the exclusive classic sailing yachts
circuit and enjoy the excitements of racing on such a legendary magnificent yacht.
She also offers great comfort and refined interior accommodation for cruising in the
Mediterranean Sea or else where.- Refit in 2008. Steel hull with teak superstructure, ELEONORA is an exact
replica of the schooner Westward which was designed in 1910 by Nathanael Greene
Herreshoff, the ‘Wizard of Bristol’, the designer of the America’s Cup defenders which
turned back all six challenges from 1893 to 1920. Westward was arguably one of the
most famous racing schooners in the world.
ELEONORA not only follows Westward’s heritage of big schooners racing but she also
offers with her comfort and space unforgettable cruising and relaxation experience. She
was built at the Van der Graaf shipyard in Holland and was launched in March 2000.
Since then, she has successfully participated in a number of classic sailing regattas and
hosted on board a number of high profile guests during her charter activities.
ELEONORA shows astonishing beauty under sail, her slender hull cutting a pathway
through the sea, an elegant combination of beauty and power.
With no sacrifice to luxurious standards of comfort, her staterooms and the entire
interior display the ambience and elegance of another age.
ELEONORA is registered as a commercial vessel under MCA and classed under Veritas.
