Pendennis Shipyard – The Germán Frers-designed Rebecca is one of the largest ketches to be built at Pendennis to date, and is without doubt one of the finest modern sailing yachts in the world.
2019 marks the 20th anniversary of her build – her Owner wished to combine all of the best elements of yachts from the mid-19th century to the modern day, in a stylish, eye-catching yacht which would give high performance under sail. Germán Frers produced drawings for a 42-metre yacht with fine lines and a graceful shear, which is both extremely attractive and performance-minded. The interior by Robin Black is light and elegant, consisting largely of off-white fielded panelling. Unusually, the sole is made from antique heart pine salvaged from a North American mill built in 1711.
