Feadship’s foreign credentials received a boost in the early 1960s when the eponymous Italian boatbuilder Carlo Riva reached out to build a series of modern Caravelles. The steel hull was designed by Frits de Voogt in Haarlem, while the superstructure and interior was done by Carlo Riva and Giorgio Barilani. Seven of these beautiful yachts were built between 1961 and 1965. The 21.80-metre Jeaclopie II was the first of the series.
