Launched in 2013, Tempus Fugit is a 90ft modern classic sloop, conceived by her then owner, Mr Arkin, and his friend and university contemporary, naval architect Rob Humphreys. She was built at Mr Arkin’s own yard, Arkin Pruva, in Antalya, Turkey, and has since turned heads wherever she has cruised and raced, from Europe and the Caribbean to the US East Coast.
Her hull and superstructure are of cold-moulded wood construction, making her strong, sea-kindly and rewarding to sail in challenging conditions. Beyond her classic lines and Humphreys pedigree, she has features that set her apart from most cruising yachts of her size. Two spacious cockpits each offer generous seating and a large dining table. The aft cockpit gives private access to the owner’s master cabin, while the central cockpit opens into the main saloon, galley, nav station and two VIP cabins forward.
Her Hall Spars carbon mast and slab-reefed V-boom means she sails efficiently at very respectable cruising speeds, but with the Humphreys Design racing know-how behind her she has also proved a genuine contender at leading superyacht regattas. Her standout result came at the 2016 Superyacht Cup in Palma, where she won her class and finished second overall in a fleet of 22. She also took third in class at the 2014 Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta in Virgin Gorda, in her first superyacht event, and has raced at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in Porto Cervo and the New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta.
Above all, Tempus Fugit is a refined cruising yacht with impeccable style, beautiful lines and a sailing character that rewards those at the helm. She would suit an enthusiast who values privacy and separation as the owner has a dedicated master cabin aft, while guests and family are equally well looked after in the two VIP cabins forward of the saloon. Her current owner has loved her very much through ten years of ownership and now looks to pass her to a new caring owner who will enjoy her as much as he has.
