A jewel boat for cruising and a successful too at classic regattas.
Germán Frers Sr started a design dynasty in Argentina that is very much alive today with a 3rd generation of respected designers bearing the name. Fast beautiful and seaworthy is an accurate assessment of Frers Sr’s designs - oft proven in the happy hunting ground of the Bermuda Race. As a young man he really wanted to be a seaman rather than a yachtsman as such and perhaps this desire is subtly reflected in his yachts’ sea keeping qualities. ESCORPION has circumnavigated the Globe in her former ownership - and her more recent history reveals her to be a much loved family boat for cruising - successful too at classic regattas. Her interior seems to be substantially original exuding a wonderful period ambience. She is utterly charming and is a must to see.
This yacht was designed by German Frers to the order of Adolfo Züberbuler, built in 1943 at Astilleros Gómez y Gutierrez in Argentina and launched that year with the name HUAGLEN. Some years later she was acquired by one Carlos Baradaco who brought her to Spain - to participate in the Balearic Island regattas under the new name PLOUSH. Later in 1963 on Sr Baradaco succumbing to illness; PLOUSH was bought by José Luis Pérez Albert, in whose ownership the yacht brought pleasure both to him and his son whether cruising or participating in the numerous Mediterranean regattas under her new name of CAROLUS II. Meanwhile the name PLOUSH endures – deep engraved in the brass banded helm wheel. In 1968 she passed into the hands of José Mª Padro, who it was gave the yacht her present name ESCORPION and competed himself in numerous regattas. He capped these with a round the World cruise, on the culmination of which ESCORPION was dedicated once more to cruising for pleasure - and rewarded with a conscientious maintenance regime. Then in 1992 the current owner having met José Mª Padro during his World cruise was moved to buy ESCORPION for himself. In his ownership ESCORPION has cruised throughout the Mediterranean, Greek waters and sailing a lot around Barcelona and the Balearics in particular. More recently she has also raced in regattas including the “Trofeo Prada”, "Regates Royales” in Cannes and “Les Voiles de Saint Tropez”. In 2002 she crossed the Atlantic to take part in the Antigua Classic Regatta and in due course returning to Spain, where she is now lying.
