This yacht was not built by Cape Horn nor at a Cape Horn yard. However, because CH did not build aluminum yachts, the clients hired Cape Horn's naval architecht and based their yacht construction on the Cape Horn hull design. Due to YachtWorld formatting, the listing fit best under the "Custom" category, yet this fine small ship deserves a more refined classification in her pedigree.
