As you see, we’ve returned to the legendary 74-foot, beaver-tailed yacht named after the goddess of beauty and pleasure. She’s been skirted, scaffolded, swept, taped and worked on for about a week at the renowned Brooklin Boat Yard. Her extensive renovations there are expected to last all winter. Nice work if you can get it.
APHRODITE is now configured as a luxury day cruiser for sunset sails and the like. Reports on her indicate that she contains a main salon (social room), a galley and basic forward sleeping quarters under the deck. She’s reportedly licensed and redesigned to carry a maximum of 6 very fortunate passengers on spectacular day outings.
