Bequia is a 90-footer straight out of the modern SoT idiom: She features a relatively modest beam, a classic sheer and a frankly throwback deckhouse. The idea is to refer to turn-of-the-20th-century cruising legends, mixed with the European influences of Fife and Baglietto. Also interesting here is the sturdy split rigged yawl and the clean open decks. The design has proved effective on the race course with several superyacht regatta wins under her belt. She’s also logged more 35,000 miles under her keel, including a Transatlantic passage and voyages to Sweden and Panama.
