Fernande
Built for racing in 1979, she has inherited a remarkable turn of speed, deck gear and equipment well up to the demands of sailing within high southern latitudes, as well as a construction which, in those days, wasn’t yet trying to save weight at the expense of strength. She was gutted by her present owner in 1994, insulated and rebuilt internally to fulfill the requirements of her new destiny.
