S/V Mandalay - A floating legend of romance and history (START JUNE 2010)

S/V Mandalay was commissioned by American multi-millionaire Edward F Hutton in 1923, whose request was to “Build me a ship, the finest private yacht in all the world”. Designed by Cox and Stevens, her hull was built by the Danish shipbuilders of Burmeister and Wain and was christened Hussar. She was launched as a three-masted barquentine of 236 feet overall and over 20,000 square feet of sail. For nearly ten years, her owners lived in “great comfort and splendor as [they were] conveyed about the world”. The Hussar was the height of luxury and opulence but eventually superceded by Mrs. Hutton’s wish for an even more magnificent yacht.

Once the war was over, Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory program chartered Vema for a highly successful research voyage that eventually led to her being purchased by the university in 1953 and a near 30-year career as an oceanographic research vessel. She logged over a million sea miles and helped redefine the understanding of plate tectonics and continental drift. It was onboard Vema that the world’s first ocean-floor map was drawn up and invaluable data were collected in marine geology and the earth’s magnetic field.

In 1982, the founder of Windjammer Barefoot Cruises, Capt. Mike Burke, acquired Vema and renamed her Mandalay. After a major refit, the yacht re-emerged as a sleek pleasure cruiser for around 70 passengers and joined the Windjammer fleet to cruise the Windward Islands for more than 20 years.
