Yacht: Prima Donna
Submit Information on this Yacht
Class winner of the 1989 Marion-Bermuda Race, Prima Donna is one of eleven S&S Nevins-40 “Type A” centerboard yawls built by the master yacht builder Henry B. Nevins in City Island. S&S modeled the series after Carlton Mitchell’s Finisterre, the only three time Bermuda Race winner (1954, ‘56, ’58), considered by some as the perfect combination of a fast racer and a comfortable cruiser.
