Cynthia was built in 1910 in Falmouth as an engineless gaff cutter – and she remains engineless today, the only yacht without ‘auxiliary power in the 2024 Richard Mille Cup. Back in 1912, Cynthia was notable for having a female owner, Mrs C. P. Foster, a member of the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.
The yacht has enjoyed a quiet life between Falmouth and Cowes, used for amateur cruising and racing.
Her current owner first saw her as a boy, while holidaying on the Isle of Wight and watching the racing yachts cross the Royal Yacht Squadron line off Cowes. He restored Cynthia himself over six years.
