The 62.23-metre Virginian is an archetypical classic yacht in terms of her exterior lines. Her interior resembled that of the great ships of the early 1900s - including a library with an open fireplace. Yet for all her old-world charm, she also set new standards. She was the first Feadship to have four full decks and was fitted with such thoroughly modern attributes as a hydraulic transom hatch, tenders concealed on the aft deck and a separate lounge for her captain.
