Notes
- Ylliam XII - 11.03.2016 by Andrea Rossi
- Ylliam XII raced in Naples in June 1959 last time with Novarrez-Firmenich and was immediatly sold to italian yachtsman Fabbrini.
Fabbrini sailed her in Naples in September same year with name still Ylliam.
In 1960 Fabbrini races with the boat renamed Alkaid and she stays in Golfo di Napoli at least till 1963. - The "Ylliam" 5.5's - 28.04.2008 by Site Administrator
