RHONA is more than just a yacht – she is a living masterpiece, sailing from the black-and-white photographs of the 1920s into the vibrant blues of the Mediterranean today. Originally launched in 1927 and designed by the legendary William Fife, this elegant 12-Metre international 2.Rule classic legend has been lovingly restored over the last 6 years with passion, craftsmanship, and vision.
Born in Scotland in 1927, Rhona survived almost a century.
Her beauty endured for decades –
until each alteration took a little more away.
In the end, she was nothing more than a wreck in a Spanish harbor –
and the quiet hope that someone would see her again.
I found her at her lowest – and saw what she could be again.
Plank by plank, nail by nail – not to create something new,
but to restore what she truly was.
After more then 10,000 hours of work, a new cycle begins –
one hundred years later.
