Built in 1905, INVADER shows all the signs of the great designs of the “Wizard of Bristol”. In 1926 she set the record time in the Transpac Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu. She has had legends of film such as Charlie Chaplin grace her decks , he met actress Paulette Goddard onboard, whom he was later to marry. Her history is unique and rich with stories of a bygone era. Following her refit in 2000-2003 she has been restored to a graceful vessel with all the comforts and technologies available today. With her nearly 87 ft of Main Boom and 40ft of Bowsprit, her dimensions are extraordinary, as is her performance in light winds. For an owner who wishes to have one of the great classic yachts of the world with a great racing and cruising future ahead of her, INVADER would be an obvious choice
