Arcadia was design number 1857 from Sparkman & Stephens. Built from 35 mm mahogany laminate, she has a striking varnished hull. S&S designed a host of other similar yachts including Crazy Life, Maria Giovanna, Cybele, Trumpeter, Clarionet and Volonte. In 1972, Arcadia won her class in the Mediterranean Championship. She has been owned by Louis and Patricia Housez’s family since 1997 and they compete her in the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge. Her deck was replaced in 1982 at the Pasqui yard in Villefranche. Arcadia has taken many overall victories in her time: Antibes (2011 and 2012), Cannes (2011 and 2012), Imperia (2012), Nice (2012). She retains her original 1969 Canadian spruce mast.

Fue diseñado por Holman y construido por los astilleros Carabela. Este clásico de 1964 es un ganador nato. Campeón de España de barcos clásicos en 2009, el Argos es siempre un duro rival en regata.

El Calima cuenta con dos cumpleaños. El primero, su botadura en 1970 tras ser construido en los Astilleros Carabela con un diseño de Sparkman & Stephens. El segundo, en 1999 tras ser adquirido por Javier Pujol Usandizaga. Gracias a las mejoras conseguidas y a la pericia de sus marineros, el Calima cuenta con el honor de haber conquistado en 2001 la Fasnet Race en su clase.

Encounter is the only "sistership" to Bumblebee, the successfull participant of the Australian Admiral's Cup team in 1974.

An American was so impressed by Bumblebee's success that he confirmed his order with German Frers and Palmer Johnson in 1974.
Building started, however, due to unforseen circumstances, Encounter was launched only in 1976.

Today Encounter is based on the South coast of France, participates in numerous Classic Yacht regattas and is also used for family cruising around the Mediterrenenan.
