A classic with recent refit, the 27.50-metre, 90ft Trehard, named DARK STAR OF LONDON is one of the best 20th century superyachts available for private charters.  Built by the well known French shipyard Trehard and designed by the architect Martin Francis, whose work is always known to be highly remarkable and very practical, this exceptional sailing yacht is often mistaken for a Swan due to her similar lines and fittings.  Initially launched under the name of Buzy B, DARK STAR OF LONDON is a racing yacht with great luxuries.  After her initial racing history, she was retired in 2000 and than underwent a major rebuild at Camper and Nicholson, where her interior was redesigned, and her engineering and electrical systems were replaced. At the same time the pretty and appealing exterior was fitted with new teak decks, and most recently, between 2023 and 2024, she experienced her second rebirth with further interior and technical upgrades.
