In his boathouse is a Riva Aquarama and an Olympic Class flush deck racer, a Soling. In his private study… a model of the family icon, his granddad’s classic sailing yacht. His granddad told tales about schooners, yawls and ketches, and about lines rather than ropes. He sailed out in a mahogany yacht, large cabin, wood deck and roomy cockpit. A classic cruiser comfortable, well aged and classic.
