With this partnership, I am maintaining the passion that my father-in-law had for these boats and their era-defining style and performance.
We regularly sail on the famous Gitana VI yacht, which was built in 1975 by Olin Stephens, who alongside German Frers is a key figure in yachting history. Their names are intricately linked with the history of Nautor's Swan."
