MILENA is everything one wants a classic yacht to be. She has presence and wonderful provenance; is fine, yet solid, and spacious of her type; everything is in proportion, clean on deck and comfortably elegant below; fast and seakindly. In fact, MILENA represents everything Fred Shepherd did so very well, and has been all of that for her present owner - a love affair for almost fifty years. At 80 ft/ 24m on deck, MILENA sits in that sweet zone where a competent and fit couple could run without professional crew, or with minimum crew. And for regattas, her efficient Bermudan ketch rig doesn’t require to be handled by a rugby team.
