It started innocently enough on a beach in Anguilla over a barbecue lunch. A group of yacht owners were chatting about one of their favorite topics - their boats. I wasn’t eavesdropping exactly; let’s just say, I got interested. Next thing I know, I am in West Palm Beach looking for Robin’s Nest, a gorgeous Vanquish 45 with metallic gray paint, red boot stripe and vibrant blue cushions. She is easy to spot with her quad Mercury Verado 600hp V12 outboards and nicely angular hardtop. She is the first VQ45 built this way.
The original VQ45 model has wanted more than the original 42 knots.
