Pacifica, ex Eroica, was built at the Henry B Nevins yard in City Island, New York for Avard Fuller, CEO of the Fuller Brush Co. Pacifica was built over the winter of 1946 and launched in the Spring of 1947. She was one of the first yachts designed and built with an extruded aluminum mast. The Fuller Brush Co. built the mast for Pacifica/Eroica. The Mast was shortened by 4 feet in the early 60s when Avard sold Pacifica to the Giannini Family. The Giannini family were the ones who changed her name. Pacifica has sailed up and down the East Coast, acrossed the Atlantic the Mediterranean, passed through the Panama Canal in 1965, sailed up and down the West Coast and out to Hawaii four times. We have owned Pacifica since 1996 and brought her up the Pacifica North West permanently in 2014.
