‘A Floating Piece of History’: How the Gucci Family Restored This 214-Foot Sailing Yacht

Allegra Gucci’s first palpable memory was aboard her family’s sailboat, the 214-foot Creole. As she recalls growing up, the world’s largest wooden sailing yacht formed a playful cocoon for water fights, running along hundreds of feet of teak decks, swallow dives into the ocean, and, at peak performance, adrenaline rushes as the boat thundered at full sail in the Mediterranean.

The two seniors at Christ Church Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, decided to hit the beach with a group of friends in St. John's County on a senior skip day two weeks ago when the day of fun almost turned deadly.

I’M A PIRATE…SORT OF

What is a pirate? The Greek root of pirate is peirates, "one who attacks." The Wikipedia definitions of pirate is: "Someone who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without having a commission from any sovereign nation." Synonyms: buccaneer, sea robber, sea rover. A second definition is "Uses or reproduces (another's work) for profit without permission, usually in contravention of patent or copyright." Oh well, perhaps I'm not a pirate then, but another definition is "Someone who behaves in an immoral or illegal way." Well, I try to avoid plagiarism, but I've been known to be naughty!

What An Amazing Rig For Big Vessels

I’ve always felt that the schooner rig was much underappreciated rig in most of Europe. This is the best fore and aft rig for a larger sailing ship. It goes well both upwind and down. One book in my collection I’ve just re-read called ‘The last Schoonerman’ by Joe Russell reminded me of that. It probably quite unknown book here. But I knew about Lahave river in Nova Scotia having delivered a replica Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter from there.

St Petersburg Boat Show 2024 – Bring Your Wallet (23 Photos)

We checked out the annual Boat Show in St Petersburg FL on Thursday Jan 18th, 2024. This show was not for the faint of wallet, with many boats breaking the $1 million mark, and even 24ft runabouts topping $300K. Our first sighting of a 600 HP outboard, we're wondering how soon we'll see 1,000 hp engines.
