We are very excited to present to you, Way of Life – a Reichel/Pugh 86 exclusively available to charter through LV Yachting.

Way of Life is quite simply an iconic Super Maxi 86, with an enviable racing history across the globe.

The Yacht

Reichel/Pugh have designed some of the world’s most distinctive, most enduring and consistently victorious racing sailing yachts. Built originally as MORNING GLORY, alongside sistership PYEWACKET. Her immediate successes in the top offshore events at the time made the world turn their heads to canting keel technology.

Way of Life has set distance records for both the Newport to Bermuda Race and Transpac (Los Angeles to Honolulu), as well as won the RMSR overall in 2006 and line honours in 2013. More recently Way of Life podiumed at the Rolex Maxi Yacht Cup in 2019 and won the 50th Anniversary of the Barcolana regatta overall in 2018.
