Donita was the only Vertue built by Clarke of Cowes. She was the second of the Standard 1950 Vertues which had been created the year before, but there was something else that was and remains unique about this special wooden Vertue.
After her name had been changed to Venture in 1953 modifications were made and she was given a counter stern. Later these modifications were also specified for Mr Kestel’s Vertue but the boat was never built. See design number 0302)
Once owned by Mr Ides van de Gracht, our records show that the last owner (in 1976) was His Excellency Robert McClintock who was the U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia, Argentina, Lebanon & most recently Venezuela.
