Frenesi is the third
of a series of four ‘one-off’ yawls of similar dimensions
by James McGruer. Built for the 1961 London Boat Show she was
declared “ Best on Show”.
Between 1961 and 1970 she was
called Marguerita Helena III and sailed in the Solent
under various owners. In 1970 the Scottish racing driver, Ninian
Sanderson, bought her and took her back to the Clyde, renaming
her Frenesi of Clynder, allegedly on account of his admiration
of Artie Shaw’s music.
Between 1973 and 1997 she was
owned by Peter Gray who first raced her in the Irish Sea then
cruised around the west coast of Scotland.
Between 1997-2006 she was owned
by David Hart who kept her at Poole, using her primarily for racing.
She won her class twice in the Warsash Spring Series, 2002 and
2003. In 2005 at the classic yacht event at Sandhamn, Sweden celebrating
the 175 years of the KSSS and 100 Years of the SSF she also won
her class.
Frenesi is now owned by Thomas
Board and his wife Anisa who keep her in Portugal.
