The 42.1 metre classic Feadship yacht Istros, listed for sale by Cecil Wright & Partners, has been sold with the buyer introduced by Cornelius Gerling of Edmiston & Company.
First delivered in 1954 by Dutch shipyard De Vries Lentsch, Istros's restoration was originally started in 2013 with a new interior by Van Geest Design but was stalled due to financial difficulties. After the yacht was sold in 2018, the restoration resumed at Feadship and was finally completed in 2020.
