The sailing yacht Creole was built by Camper & Nicholson in 1927. She is designed by Charles E. Nicholson.
Creole was built for Alexander Smith Cochran ( 1874 -1929), who named her ‘Vira’.
CREOLE is a 689-ton staysail schooner, built in 1927 as VIRA at Camper and Nicholson’s Gosport Yard. It is the largest wooden sailing yacht in the world and the largest yacht built at this yard.
Alexander Smith Cochran, the original owner, reduced the height of the masts.
Major Maurice Pope later renamed it Creole after his favorite dish. Sir Connop Guthrie restored the masts to their original design in 1937.
During WWII, it was requisitioned for mine hunting and renamed Magic Circle. Stavros Niarchos restored its luxury in 1947 and used it for transportation.
From 1978 to 1983, it served as a Sail Training Ship at the Nyborg Søfartsskole. Maurizio Gucci restored it in 1982 and left it to his daughters, Alessandra and Allegra, after his death in 1995. It is still in use by the Gucci family.
She was the largest yacht C&N had ever constructed. Cochran had inherited the Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet mills of Yonkers, which by 1929 was the largest carpet manufacturer in the world.
The sailing yacht is powered by MTU engines. Her max speed is 15 knots. Her cruising speed is 14 knots. She has a range of more than 3000 nm.
The luxury yacht can accommodate 11 guests and a crew of 15.
The yacht’s owners are Alessandra and Allegra Gucci. They are the daughters of Maurizio Gucci.
Her value is $20 million. Her annual running costs are around $2 million. The price of a yacht can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the size, age, and level of luxury of the yacht, as well as the materials and technology used in its construction.
