Description
Nefertiti was the first twelve designed by Frederick “Ted” Hood and the only new 12 built for the 1962 Defender Trails. Her construction was a fast one, she was launched just 96 days after the plans were delivered to the yard. At the time she was the beamiest 12 ever built, as Hood was in search of stability. Nefertiti won the 1962 Lipton Memorial Trophy (NYYC).
She was chartered by Americas Cup Challenger Syndicate as the trial horse for Dame Pattie. Thus began her travels around the globe. From 1969-79, her home port was in Piraeus, Greece. From here she went on to the West Indies, then to Fremantle for the 1987 Cup races then on to South Africa for six years.
We are delighted to offer charters aboard this America’s Cup contender and racing champion. Perfect for small group outings, sunset sails, bachelor or bachelorette parties, etc! Sleek and fast, this yacht offers pleasureful sailing experiences to all her guests. Join the winning tradition and sail aboard this dashing yacht!
