Historical:
Yvette was one of the last Fife to leave Scotland, and was built for the Donaldson family, who were among some of Fife’s most important clients. Three sisterships were built to the same design, 1898 Mignon, 1899 Yvette and Pierrette. The design was believed to be inspired by Sir Thomas Lipton’s commission for his 1899 America’s Cup challenger Shamrock.
