SHENANDOAH OF SARK is living history under sail. Launched in 1902 as a gaff schooner designed by Theodore E. Ferris, this magnificent 54-metre yacht is one of the great classics still sailing, and an elegant Terence Disdale interior brings modern comfort to her timeless bones. To sail her is to step into one of the most romantic chapters of yachting.
Guest accommodation
Eleven guests are hosted in four cabins finished in elegant Disdale style. A crew of 11 sails her in the traditional way and looks after guests, bringing the schooner and her long history to life.
Onboard comfort & entertainment
The sailing is the spectacle here, feeling her heel and surge under a classic gaff rig, an experience no modern yacht can match. At anchor, her characterful interior and classic decks invite long, unhurried evenings.
Performance & range
SHENANDOAH OF SARK sails in the traditional manner at around 9 knots, with more under power, and her deep 4.65-metre draft and tall rig make her a genuine blue-water sailing yacht with more than a century of voyages behind her.
