Don't miss this Lady! She's so special!!

Adria  was designed by Artur Tiller, who was, along with Fife and Mylne, one of the
 well-known naval architects in the thirties, as an ocean going schooner for an
 important German Industrial.
She was built on the very famous yard of Abeking & Rasmussen in Lengwerder
 ( Bremen), in northern Germany, to the highest standards.

Adria was however confiscated by the Nazi’s , as the war started the yacht
 was making a trip on the North Sea and was stopped and brought to England 
by the British Navy. She was dismasted and brought to the Thame with balloon 
  shanging on her to help to defend England a little bit more.

 After the war Adria was bought by an English Commander, who had her rerigged, 
with the original masts, as a ketch, by the naval architect Illingworth. He took 
her to the Mediterranean and cruised extensively. After a few years she was sold 
to  an Italian gentleman, who had an important refit made by the well-known 
yard of Becconcini in Genoa.
