Boat file (número de vela NY 50), es uno de los cuatro NY 40’s que aún navegan. La flota original, construida entre 1916 y 1926 por un grupo de miembros del New York Yacht Club, constaba de catorce ejemplares.

Estos yates, apodados los Cuarenta Combatientes, fueron los ganadores de la Bermuda Race de 1924 a 1928. Rowdy, cuyo primer propietario fue el senador estadounidense Holland Sackett Duell, originalmente tenía una vela cangreja. En 1998 se realizó una gran renovación.

El yate fue comprado por el inglés Graham Walker, y en 2008 navegó por primera vez en su categoría en la regata de Mahón-Imperia y en la Vele d'Epoca en Imperia. Ganó en la categoría de Época de la prestigiosa Panerai Classic Yates Challenge en 2008, 2010 y 2011.

Lipton was built in 2011 in La Rochelle, France. She takes the name of Sir Thomas Lipton, a British merchant and yachtsman, creator of the famous Lipton brand of tea, and one of the most persistent competitors of the America's Cup history.

Designed by naval architects Joubert and Nivelt, this Tofinou 12 mixes craftsmanship and modernity in respect with the shipyard tradition, Tofinou 12 is a simple and elegant classic sailboat.

With the same line and esthetics of her sisterships, assuming her 12 meters, the Tofinou12 surprises by the speed and strength sensations she provides during sea trips to her owners. Fast and safe, she combines the beauty of teak and varnished mahogany with the modernity of stainless steel and carbon. Easy to handle, this yacht is designed for solo sailing as well as for experienced crew

Racing in the 2nd Fastnet Race, Hallowe’en sailed the fleet home to cross the line some 10 hours before the next competitor. A record which would stand until 1939 when the new course was shortened.

Hallowe’en is a Marconi cutter inspired by the lines of the International 15-metre Classes. She not only won the Fastnet but also set an as yet unbroken record for the race in the year she was launched. Hallowe’en later spent time in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and, under the name Magda XII, in Norway.

There Prince Olaf, the future King of Norway, was often a guest aboard. Between the 1940s and 50s, she sailed in America as Cotton Blossom IV, winning numerous regattas. During the 1980s, she was restored by the Classic Boat Museum in Newport, to which she’d been donated.

In the course of her long career Hallowe’en has been converted from a Marconi cutter to a gaff cutter and then a yawl. In 1993, she was converted back to a Marconi cutter during a restoration job at Barcelona. In 1999 she was sold to a Dutch owner. She has been owned by an Irishman since 2007. Fife himself described Hallowe’en as “perfect, a gem”.

William Fife decided to rig the yacht as a low-aspect ration Bermudan cutter, which was uncommon in the days when gaff rigged racers dominated the various regattas. These experiments with her rig continued over the following years as her mast and boom heights changed and eventually she was transformed to a yawl. As a yawl– rigged COTTON BLOSSOM IV she dominated ocean racing for many years, and has held important records. After racing in the Mediterranean for a number of years she returned to the Atlantic under new owner Alfred Larsen, a Norwegian industrialist. She became the Royal Norwegian Racing Clubs official yacht and was helmed numerous times by future king to Norway, Prince Olaf.

In 1938 she ventured across the Atlantic and then disappeared off the radar. She was later discovered by Walter Wheeler and renamed Cotton Blosson IV before continuing her history of ocean racing and eventually being donated to the Classic Boat Museum at New Port, Rhode Island where she waited for a much needed refit. After 5 years of work in New Port, funds dried up and Hallowe’en was in need of new ownership and she eventually returned to the Mediterranean when Elizabeth Meyer (owner of J-Class Endeavour) helped find a buyer.

Under her new syndicate of Irish custodians, Hallowe'en has continued to improve the racing standards set in her early years by winning numerous Mediterranean regattas, as well as winning overall  the Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge in 2017.

Purchased in March 2010 in Newport by Irish skipper Jonathan Greenwood and Sandra Ugolini, Chinook was cargo- shipped to Genoa and then Bizerta in Tunisia. Her next owner, Graham Walker, who had already won the Trofeo Panerai on several occasions with Rowdy, sold her on to London-based Paolo Zannoni, who sailed her to victory in the Vintage category of the 2014 Trofeo Panerai.

In 2004 she was up for sale after a complicated ownership and had been converted to a cruising ketch.

In July, 2007 a complete refit was started at the yard ‘Charpentiers Reunis Mediterran e’, La Ciotat, France to bring her back to her original rig.

Our beautiful Trophies

Med Cup Big Boat

This 700 gram Sterling silver fruit bowl was made by Cooper Brothers & Sons Ltd, Don Plate Works, Arundel Street, Sheffield & Holborn Viaduct, London in 1978

The firm was founded in 1866 as Cooper Bros. In a directory of 1871 their address is given as 14½ High Street and they are described as manufacturers of electro-plated and nickel silver spoons and forks. By 1876 the firm was in Bridge Street and in 1885 they purchased the Arundel Street works where they remained until 1983. In 1895 the business became a limited liability company under the name of Cooper Brothers & Sons Ltd. In 1983 the business was acquired by Frank Cobb & Co. Ltd

Med Cup Classic

This vintage sterling silver fruit bowl made in 1966 by Elkington and Co. of Birmingham, UK.

The firm, founded in 1815, became very popular for pioneering the electroplating and gilding techniques.

Elkington and Co. was founded by George Richards Elkington and his cousin, Henry Elkington, in the 1830s. It operated under the name G. R. Elkington & Co. until 1842, when a third partner, Josiah Mason, joined the firm. It operated as Elkington, Mason, & Co. until 1861, when the partnership with Mason was terminated. The firm operated independently as Elkington & Co.  from 1861 until 1963. It was then taken over by British Silverware, Ltd.

Med Cup Marconi

A beautiful hallmarked solid silver “Monteith” bowl made in 1972 by J B Chatterley & Sons Ltd of Newtown Road, Birmingham, UK.

A “Monteith” bowl is a form of a vessel or basson that was originally introduced in the 17th Century in order to cool glasses in a Verriere fashion.

A Monteith bowl would feature a band of notches on the brim which allowed for the base of a wine glass to be ‘hooked’ onto it and the body to rest in the bowl containing ice water.

Med Cup Vintage Gaff

This 988 gram solid silver centrepiece bowl was made in Denmark in 1917 by C.I. Moinichen, Copenhagen 1893 – 1937.

It was gifted to the Club in 2021 by Thierry Laffitte, owner of “Sagittarius” and it was his wish that it became the Gaff Class Trophy. It is known as “The Andre Laffitte Trophy” in memory of his father.
