Post by shipstamps » Wed Oct 01, 2008 11:29 am


Fujeira issued a set of stamps honouring the late President John F. Kennedy the 25 n.p. stamp showing him with a family party in the Wianno Senior Class Knockabout yacht Victura. The yacht, No.94 in the class, was built for Joseph P. Kennedy by the Crosby Yacht Building and Storage Company, Inc., of Osterville, Massachusetts, in the winter of 1931-32. The craft is now owned by Senator M. Kennedy, who is as keen a yachtsman as his brother (the late President) and their father. General specification of the yacht is as follows: dimensions, length overall 25 ft., length on waterline 17 ft. 6 ins., beam 8 ft., draft 2 ft. 6 ins. without centreboard. Oak and mahogany are the principal timbers used in the yacht's construction.
