Germán Frers Sr started a design dynasty in Argentina that is very much alive today with a 3rd generation of respected designers bearing the name. Fast beautiful and seaworthy is an accurate assessment of Frers Sr’s designs - oft proven in the happy hunting ground of the Bermuda Race. As a young man he really wanted to be a seaman rather than a yachtsman as such and perhaps this desire is subtly reflected in his yachts’ sea keeping qualities.

ESCORPION has circumnavigated the Globe in her former ownership - and her more recent history reveals her to be a much loved family boat for cruising - successful too at classic regattas. Her interior seems to be substantially original exuding a wonderful period ambience. She is utterly charming and is a must to see.
