If dominating PHRF and schooner races from Gloucester, Mass, through the Chesapeake, Key West, Florida, St. Pete to Mexico and into the Caribbean sounds like an adventure to you, LIGHT REIGN is the ideal vessel to get the job done!! She has shown her classically beautiful wine glass stern to many racing yachts over the years and will continue to do so for many years to come!
Very few sailing yachts attract the worldwide attention of yachtsman like the famous classic schooners of the Cherubini family. John Cherubini created the proud descendant of the famous "TICONDEROGA", designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, and in doing so, continued the dream of every romantic yachtsman.
Nothing is more elegant than a dark hulled schooner with slightly sweptback spars, elegant clipper bow, and low-profile cabin tops, the perfect description of LIGHT REIGN, the last 48’ Cherubini built and maintained to perfection!!
Below deck, the exquisite varnished mahogany is highlighted by the finely crafted raised panel details done in classic Herreshoff satin white. Add to this, teak and holly sole, varnished mahogany overhead beams, cane locker doors, and the finest hardware available, the result must be seen to be appreciated!
Note: the extensive 2013/2014 refit was done by Cherubini in their N.J. building facility.

Rarely available on the market, Cherubini schooners represent many important and seldom found unique features: Legendary classic beauty, unsurpassed quality of construction, proven sea keeping manners in all conditions, easily handled by two people, fantastic speed and perhaps best of all, membership in a very exclusive "proper yacht" community!
LIGHT REIGN represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire the latest and best maintained 48 in existence. Having crossed the Atlantic and cruised in the Med, returned and sailed and raced the East coast of the U.S. and the Bahamas, she is ready to continue doing what she does best...elegant fast passages for her next owners.
LIGHT REIGN has been featured in Ferenc Mate's latest edition of "Best Boats" if you wish to confirm the well-deserved reputation of Cherubini Yachts.
