After 18 months of construction, the Cornish shipyard handed over the 42-metre Truly Classic 128 to the owner couple.

The experienced sailors ordered the second 128 from Andre Hoek's Truly Classic semi-custom series, which combines modern underwater hulls and classically long overhangs. In contrast to build number one "Atalante", the Dutch yacht designer trimmed "Vijonara" more for performance and worked together with Pendennis for the first time. A novelty in the Truly Classic series is the bowsprit, which carries an asymmetrical spinnaker or a Code Zero headsail and gives the retro racer an overall length of 42.25 metres. Hoek moved the steering position, which is flanked by electric winches, to the front behind the centre cockpit for better communication with guests. The aft cockpit is reserved for the owners and provides access to their cabin, which surprises with an underwater window. In front of the owner's area is the saloon on the port side and a small gym on the starboard side, which can be converted into an additional third guest cabin. In the interior, mahogany panelling meets an Italian walnut floor with maple wood edging. The upholstery is wrapped in Hermès covers.
