Caprice

1950

This is Caprice

When Feadship formed in 1949 they had only one market in mind: America. At the time, the Motor Boat Show in New York was the largest yachting exhibition of its kind and ‘pleasure yachts’ were all the rage. Ultimately, they decided to exhibit three yachts at the show, one of which was this 7.32-metre Baby Holland. "The press and tradesman all agreed that the finishing on our boats was head and shoulders above the rest,” appeared in Feadship’s minutes after the exhibition.
