Introduction
Very few sailing yachts attract the worldwide attention of yachtsman like the famous classic schooners of the Cherubini family. John Cherubini created the proud descendant of the famous "TICONDEROGA", designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, and in doing so, continued the dream of every romantic yachtsman.

Nothing is more elegant than a black hulled schooner with slightly sweptback spars, elegant clipper bow, and low profile cabin tops, the perfect description of AMAZING GRACE

Below deck, the exquisite varnished mahogany is highlighted by the finely crafted raised panel details done in classic Herreshoff satin white. Add to this, teak and holly sole, varnished mahogany overhead beams, cane locker doors, and the finest hardware available, the result must be seen to be appreciated!
