BROKERS COMMENTS FRENESI’s pedigree from the board and yard of McGruer is without question, noting that it was in the establishment of the cruiser racer class for which James McGruer really came to prominence. Of course her unmistakable lines delight discerning yachtsmen and spectators in any marina or anchorage. Our particular enthusiasm for FRENESI is based on two facts. She has had, for the last 11 years, owners who have left no stone unturned with respect to maintenance and updates, resulting in a yacht that is admired for her finish and fine condition – hard to fault. Secondly she is a true sailing yacht, qualified and competitive under IRC; equally a worthy performer at any of the Mediterranean’s blossoming classic yacht regattas and as a comfortable cruising yacht. HISTORY FRENESI is the third of a series of four ‘one-off’ yawls of similar dimensions by James McGruer. Built for the 1961 London Boat Show, she was awarded “Best in Show”. Originally MARGUERITA HELENA III she was sailed in the Solent under various owners. Then in 1970 the Scottish racing driver, Ninian Sanderson, bought her and took her back to the Clyde, renaming her FRENESI OF CLYNDER, in admiration of Artie Shaw’s jazz saxophone track of that name. From 1973 to 1997 she was owned by Peter Gray who raced her in the Irish Sea then cruising the west coast of Scotland. From 1997 David Hart kept her at Poole, primarily for racing and she won her class in the Warsash 2002 and 2003 Spring Series. In 2005 she also won her class at the Nord / LB classic yacht event at Sandhamn, Sweden that event celebrating the 175 years of the KSSS and 100 years of the SSF. Since May 2006 FRENESI has enjoyed a quieter and comparatively relaxed life in the hands of Thomas Board her current owner, cruising to the south coast of Portugal and nearer home the coastal waters of the North Sea and English Channel.
