Hello – if you look at the following site: http://classicyachtinfo.com/yachts/linnet/,
I submitted the comments with regard to my parents when they owned Linnet. We sailed her out of Nova Scotia in the late 50s early 60s, and it’s so wonderful to know that she has been refurbished to her original condition, and sailing the seas under the ownership of the CEO of Prada, Patrizio Bertelli.
