- Nerissa
Nerissa was commissioned as “Mistress Quickly” by Mr. W. Whitehouse-Vaux and built in Italy. While under construction, the owner disappeared for two years and the building was stopped. Voices say that he was a spy for the UK, on a mission in Russia!
Later, the boat was owned by Count Cinzano (of Martini…) Originally, Nerissa was a yawl. Three years after her launch, the mizzen was taken off and since then she has sailed as a sloop. Her impressive round cornered dog-house was a real nightmare for the Yard to build, but they succeeded and now it constitutes her major feature.
