74 ft Andersen Staysail Schooner 1937 Built for the Danish Royal family, but perhaps more treasured in her current ownership than ever before, ORIANDA, is still the perfect family yacht. Massively built, her interior volume is large for a yacht from this period; 3 double cabins and separate crew cabin; vast space on deck for dining (and sailing!) a classic vessel optimized to stay out of port and large enough to make this an option is a rare thing. She is a beautifully winning combination of European elegance and strength. Attention to detail aboard means the beauty of varnished wood and polished brass, comfortable, immaculate accommodation and even bespoke dinnerware. Created in the waning days of a bygone era, when elegance was an integral part of the supreme adventure under sail ORIANDA has nonetheless been cared for lovingly by her subsequent owners including an English family for 5 years and for the last 15 years; a family in Spain Specification Designer Carl Andersen Builder Rasmus Moller.
