The 78-foot Edwardian schooner was once the darling of Newport's sailing
society, playing host to Kennedys, Morgans and other American royalty. All
mahogany and teak, with gleaming brass and crystal accents, Vixen II is
appointed with nautical textiles, fine stemware, silver service and Royal
Doulton china. Yet she's anything but frilly, exuding a masculine energy worthy
of her treelike 72-foot main mast.
