Stephens Waring Yacht Design office is proud to announce that Bequia yacht – one of the company’s largest bespoke designs to date – won her class at St Barths Bucket Regatta 2014 at the end of last month. Launched by Brooklin Boat Yard in 2009, the modern classic sailing yacht Bequia is a beautiful and comfortable 90-foot yawl, easy to sail and, as she has now proved, extremely competitive. This follows her victory at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, which took place in the fabulous Italy yacht charter destination – Porto Cervo in Sardinia in June 2013.

Luxury superyacht Bequia clinched her overall victory with a second place in the final race beating charter yacht Moonbird, a Dubois/Fitzroy sloop which is 10 metres longer. A proud owner commented: “Paul Campbell James and the rest of Bequia’s crew did some amazing sailing on the prettiest yacht in the fleet!”
