The yawl Barbara (YN 318) is a perfect example. She was built in 1923 with an innovative Marconi rig and Bermudian sails while most cruising yachts of the time were still gaff-rigged. Her particularly slender and light mainmast was, however, strongly supported by standing rigging, clearly showing it’s origin as an elongated mast for a gaff-rig.

More owners associated with the yard were later owners of Barbara. It was her next owner, Count Jean de Vogues, who brought Barbara to the Mediterranean, sailing her out of Cannes. General Manager of the Moët and Chandon brand, he developed an outstanding marketing policy and in 1936 created the most famous of the Champagne brands, Dom Pérignon. After Barbara he owned two new C&N designs: the 70' (length on deck) ketch Eryx, which he bought in 1959, followed by the 84’ schooner Eryx II in 1964.
 
Her rigging plan is an interesting document to keep on file:

Barbara’s present Italian owner bought her when in dire need of restoration, and after a major three year restoration involving the collaboration of C&N yacht experts and the Cantiere Francesco Del Carlo, Barbara has been sailing since May, 2018.
