The SV Mandalay is a three-masted schooner measuring 163.75 ft (49.91 m) pp,[1] with a wrought iron hull. It was built as the private yacht Hussar (IV), and would later become the research vessel Vema, one of the world's most productive oceanographic research vessels. The ship currently sails as the cruising yacht Mandalay in the Caribbean.[1]
