This boat raced as a yawl in the 1950's. She was sold in 1953 to Venezuela. It is told that she served as the presidential yacht for dictator Gomez. Apparently she was still afloat in poor condition as late as 1969. She has disappeared, and several sources claim she is destroyed. Bueno was Gomez' personal physician.
