"An historic yacht that was first launched in 1920 having been built to a design inspired by old Baltimore schooners is now, after a period of total reconstruction about to set off around the world on a journey that promises to be both an adventure and exceptionally comfortable, thanks to the extraordinary level of sophistication on board.
No.6 Texel, a 33m vessel entered service as a pilot schooner in Texel, Holland. But in 1933, she was purchased by Philadelphia cotton tycoon, and turned into a luxury yacht. After the Second World War, she was sold to King Farouk I of Egypt and remodelled to provide regal comfort. The vessel passed through a number of hands before being bought in 2001 by her present owner."
