New Horizon

1952

This is New Horizon

Commissioned in 1952 by William H. Perry of Cobham of Virginia, New Horizon was, at 25.30-metres, a slightly larger version of the similarly styled Anahita and Sereno II, also built by the De Vries Lentsch yard. With their double-planked mahogany hulls and galvanized steel frames, these yachts are typical examples of the larger, twin-screw cruisers created by Feadship specifically to suit American tastes.
