''Whitefin'' is a 92-foot sailing super yacht, racing in the "Spirit of Tradition" class. == Career == Whitefin was built between 1983 and 1984 in Camden, Maine, USA, by owner/builder Phil Long who, for the project, used the Renaissance Yacht shipyard he had created a few years before, to build the yacht Whitehawk. Both boats were designed by Californian designer Bruce King, who, after having established a reputation creating many successful, innovative ocean racing and cruising boats, moved from Newport Harbor, California, to Maine, to work on the Whitehawk project and, later on, the Whitefin project. These, for King, were just the beginning of a series of successful sailing maxi yachts like Signe (1990 - again with Renaissance Yachts), Hetairos (1993), Alejandra (1993), Sophie (1994 - again with Renaissance Yachts), Antonisa (1999), Maria Cattiva (2002) and Scheherazade (2003). Between 2000 and 2002, after almost twenty years had passed from her launch, Whitefin was given by her latest owner, Mr. Alfredo Canessa (who bought her from Pasquale Natuzzi), an eighteen months refitting, which brought her up to date with the most recent technology, in full respect of her original layout, both above and below deck, allowing her to win the most prestigious trophies in the most important regattas for her category, the Spirit of Tradition, such as: the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Portocervo, Sardinia; the Vele d’Epoca di Imperia, Trofeo Prada or Trofeo Panerai, in Imperia, Liguria; and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, in Saint Tropez, France. With the advent of the actual ownership, from December 2014 to April 2015 Whitefin has undergone a deep upgrade preparing her to a new season of regattas. Whitefin is currently available for luxury charter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whitefin (yacht)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
