Description
"The Marconi-rigged Santana was an aristocrat of the sea, 55 feet of mahogany, teak, polished brass, and sail - a championship racer with below-deck quarters as roomy as speed allowed. a small crew could bunk in the main saloon, which was painted a cherry white and trimmed with mahogany. There was a tiny galley and, in the stern, a cabin where two could comfortably sleep. the boat had been built in 1935 for the heir to a California oil fortune, and then was owned by a succession of actors that included George Brent, Ray Milland and, most recently, Dick Powell, forced to sell because of a sinus condition. Bogart paid him $50,000. The yacht was well-known in the sailing world and was considered a delight to the seaman's eye. her decks run long and clean .There's no sign of the seams - just a flawless white skin, smooth and hard as a ball bearing."
