Mariquita

Mariquita, meaning ladybird in Spanish, is probably the last 19-Metre in existence. She was restored at Fairlie Restorations in the UK and was launched in the summer of 2004. She took part in the subsequent Mediterranean regattas, winning Imperia and looking great alongside the likes of Moonbeam III and IV. After a winter in San Remo, Italy, Mariquita headed down to Greece for 2 months of cruising and race training with the owner. She went on to attend 5 classic regattas, including the new Porto Rotondo event and the renowned race week at St Tropez.
In June, 2008 she attended the Fife Regatta on the Clyde in Scotland and then took part in various regattas on England's south coast. This is what sailing is all about.....
