In the ten years since her 2001 launch, REBECCA OF VINEYARD HAVEN has superbly lived up to all expectations from the very beginning when, Nat Benjamin of Gannon and Benjamin Marine Railway in Martha’s Vineyard was challenged by her commissioner to design the ‘yacht of his dreams’.  He set out to encompass all the attributes of a thoroughbred schooner – and true to the sailing heritage of the East Coast of the USA.  What he achieved is a yacht that not only looks beautiful but is sea kindly, sails well, turns heads wherever she goes and combines the honesty of a traditional design and build with the novelty of being ‘new’.  Her great strengths lie in the purity of design and the attention to detail in her construction – achieved through Nat, his partner Ross Gannon and their dedicated workforce, bringing to her their combined talents and lifetimes’ knowledge, experience and love for traditional wooden boats. Under her owners’ careful stewardship, REBECCA has cruised extensively in Maine, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, both with family and friends or hosting charter guests.  She has participated in classic yacht regattas on both sides of the Atlantic and has made two Atlantic crossings, most recently completing the 2000 + miles in 13 days from Cape Verde to St Lucia in December 2010.  She is making the long voyage from the South Coast of England back to her home town of Vineyard Haven to celebrate her Tenth Anniversary appropriately with all those who conceived and built her and thereby fulfilling the owners’ dream of ten years ago, to return to Martha’s Vineyard one day in REBECCA under sail and with them, stories of their many wonderful adventures together. Still maintained and cared for to a very high standard, Rebecca is one of a very small elite group of yachts which have been aptly classified by the British Classic Yacht Club after considerable deliberation, as ‘New Classics’.   She is destined to carrying her future owners across the seven seas in comfort and safety for many decades to come.
