HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
SAHARET was built in 1933 for H. Woodbury-Parsons of Boston, USA to a custom design by Charles Nicholson (1868-1954) probably one of the most respected naval architects of the first half of the 20th Century. Charles designed many yachts during the golden era of the 1930s, most significantly the famous J-Class.
Camper & Nicholson, established in 1863 are world famous for their high standards and quality yachts, the majority still sailing today.
SAHARET, named after the famous Edwardian dancer, Clarissa Campbell, was launched in 1933 and sailed to her homeport of Naples, where she remained for twenty years in the ownership of Woodbury-Parsons. In the early 1950s Carlo Pesenti of Bergamo, Italy purchased SAHARET moving her to Genoa.
S A Sacomi of Rome bought SAHARET when she was offered for sale in 1960. She remained in Genoa in his ownership and was surveyed for Lloyds 100A1 classification in 1964, she remained in class until 1985.
In the late 1960s, SAHARET was bought by Ercole Lauro of Naples, he re-named her LILY.
Lily Marine Ltd. of St Helier, Jersey became the next owners in 1983.
In the current thirty-five year ownership, a keel-up restoration began during 1985-86. During this re-fit, the vessel, now back to her original name SAHARET, was stripped back to bare frames and rebuilt completely. All new wiring, plumbing and tanks and accommodation refurbished. Another major re-fit in 1998 included all new 1-inch thick sub-deck with 1 and 1/4 inch thick, swept teak laid deck. The rig was re-configured to the original, higher bulwarks and new wheelbox. New deck saloon with a period style and additional stringers and frames to strengthen the hull. New windlass, chains, winches, steering gear and navigation equipment. Stainless-steel tanks replaced.
In 2013/14 a further updating programme and upgrading making SAHARET one of the finest yachts of her size and period.
