Errol's Yachts

She sails again!  Errol's “SIROCCO” under her original name “Karenita” is for sale!

This beautiful sailing yacht is of impeccable pedigree, and with a fascinating history. A proven race winner, she is perhaps not the ideal cruising yacht, having superb but limited accommodation, but any future owner can rest assured that he has one of the worlds' top classic yachts. Formerly owned by the actor Errol Flynn as 'Sirocco', she hosted many famous names in the heyday of Hollywood, and more recently has been the flagship of the fashion clothing company 'Blanc Bleu'. A regular sight at St Tropez, and other top Mediterranean venues, she is now looking for a new owner that will continue to look after her in a similar manner.

Brokerage Price: 1,550,000 EUR

Any buyers? Here is the link if you wish to make an offer? Give a little giggle! Very nice interior pictures to be seen  www.classicyachtforsale.com…

Here is a photo of the Sirocco taken in the late 1970s in the Grenadines.   

A little History:

After being built under the signature of John Alden, American specialist, the 75' classic wooden ketch was launched in 1929 as “Karenita”, sold and became “Aviner” in 1930, “Simoon” in 1933, “Watchette II” in 1934 and named again “Karenita” in 1936.

Errol bought her in 1938 and renamed her Sirocco, after the first Sirocco.   He should have named her Sirocco II, but he did not.   Mariners actually do not believe in renaming boats, they feel it brings bad luck!

st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) }

She was restored by Bill Coffman and renamed to her former 1929 name “Karenita”, she was and remains an emblematic sailing boat off the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and she frequently takes part in regattas of ships in her category.

The “Beam Ends” Sirocco or Errol's first “Sirocco” in 1929.  There are several stories how Errol acquired the Sirocco, one says – his mother purchased her, one says – his father purchased her and Errol says, he won her in a card game!  I like to believe he won her in a card game – it is so much like Errol. What ever the story of acquisition –  here is a picture of the Sirocco, which he sailed to New Guinea through the Great Barrier Reef in 1930.

Karenita, 1929

KETCH MARCONI O BERMUDIANO

paneraiclassicyachtschallenge.com e Nautica Report

• 19/11/2022 10:11

Karenita è un’imbarcazione tanto slanciata quanto elegante e ammirata, con una timoneria all’americana, nazione dalla quale proviene e che ha dato i natali anche al suo affermato progettista John Alden.

Il nome è legato a quello dell’attore hollywoodiano Errol Flynn , che ne fu proprietario tra il 1938 e il 1942, quando ancora si chiamava Sirocco .  

Il ketch navigò lungo le coste dell’ Atlantico . Dopo un periodo di totale abbandono, rinacque verso la fine degli anni Ottanta presso un cantiere di Tortola , alle Isole Vergini , grazie a Patrick Khayat , fondatore del marchio Blanc Bleu .

Il restauro cui è stata sottoposta l’imbarcazione le ha permesso di tornare splendida come un tempo.  

Nel 1990, lasciata l’America, Karenita è arrivata nel Mediterraneo dove ha iniziato a partecipare ai raduni di vele d’epoca , da Imperia a St. Tropez , aggiudicandosi nel 1993 il Trofeo Almirante Conde de Barcelona di Palma di Maiorca .

La costruzione è in doppio fasciame di mogano su ordinate di quercia.

Historical:

Formerly owned by actor Errol Flynn as ‘Sirocco’, she hosted many famous names in the heyday of Hollywood, and more recently has been the flagship of the fashion clothing company ‘Blanc Bleu’.

Flynn and his buddies indulged in so many antics that they earned the reputation of being the most notorious, hard-drinking “hell-raisers” on the island. Nearly every weekend the men would race their yachts to Catalina – Flynn on his Sirocco, Weissmuller on his Allure, and Bogart aboard his Santana. All three would bet on the outcome.

One particular race between them has reached legendary status. Weissmuller won and promptly boarded Flynn’s yacht to collect his winnings. According to an account related by Johnny Weissmuller Jr., Flynn was “drunk and belligerent,” and responded to his loss by aiming a small cannon mounted on the bow of his yacht at Weissmuller’s boat. As he lit the fuse, he removed a cigar from his mouth and announced: “I’ll sink you, you sumbitch!” Weissmuller rushed to the cannon and kicked the barrel upward, launching the cannonball straight up into the sky. The men watched helplessly as the projectile plunged vertically and tore through the yacht’s upper deck, missing the two by only a few feet. After a few seconds, Flynn “burst into uproarious laughter.”

BARBARA ANNE TUCKERMAN – June 30, 2021

Who owned SIROCCO around 1972/73 ? I sailed on her (briefly) – in the South Pacific off Australia – Black Jack Mutton was a friend of owner –
The boat had been ‘restored’ in NZ I think Can’t imagine I’ll hear but hope to be lucky.
Many thanks.

Judy Colling – November 14, 2021

I was part of a crew that chartered Sirroco in 1965 and sailed to Tahiti. We spent Christmas in Tahiti and New year in Bora Bora. Sirroco was owned by a guy named Jack Belcher. Tony Carter captained the yatch. We where gone 5 months. What a blast. I was 19.
