Titania is a classic wooden yacht designed by William Lapworth. Launched in 1967 and build by Vancouver Boat Works for a family, the Grahams, to sail around the world.
The design brief was a strong, safe and seaworthy yacht with great sailing characteristics capable of fast ocean passages with minimum crew. Immediately after launching originally, “Driver” completed the 1967 Transpacific Yacht Race, then started their successful circumnavigation. “Driver” returned to Southern California and was acquired by the third owner, a longtime client of Bill Lapworth.
Titania is no project woody. A testament to her engineering and owner’s care, she underwent a refit and upgrade beginning in 1990 during which no planks or frames needed to be replaced. “Aorangi”, as she was called at the time, received a completely new interior, new teak decks, new engine, mast, winches, and hardware. Upon completion, her owners enjoyed local cruising.
Under the current and proud owner now, “Titania” proceeded with a major upgrade on instruments, batteries, winch equipment and cruised regularly to Catalina and coastal SoCal.
A timeless classic with modern upgrades.
