A Design that Transcends Time
The design of Mariska is a blend of form and function that has stood the test of time. Her hull, constructed from high-quality woods, showcases Fife’s attention to detail and his understanding of the elements that make a yacht both fast and beautiful. The yacht’s overhanging stern and bow, a signature of the 15-meter class, give it an unmistakable silhouette that is both aggressive and graceful. Below deck, Mariska maintains an air of classic charm, with period fixtures and a layout that respects her original design. Modern safety and navigation equipment have been seamlessly integrated to ensure that Mariska remains competitive and safe without compromising her historical integrity.
Mariska in the Modern Era
Today, Mariska is not just a relic of the past but a vibrant participant in the classic sailing circuit. She can be chartered with Noblesse Yachts to compete in some of the most prestigious regattas, where she continues to turn heads and capture hearts.
