elcome to the Hamptons. I grew up in Europe and I’ve lived in the<br />
beautiful South of France, so I had high expectations the first time I headed out<br />
to the Hamptons 20 years ago.<br />
I recall feeling underwhelmed as we sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic on that<br />
long drive from the city. It was all asphalt and definitely not picturesque. Where<br />
were the charming towns and scenic views I had heard so much about?<br />
About three hours later we arrived in the most magical place and I have been<br />
smitten with the Hamptons ever since.<br />
After a long week in the City, nothing compares to the carefree lifestyle<br />
enjoyed Out East cooling off in the waves with family and friends against the<br />
backdrop of expansive blue sky and perfectly sculpted dunes. One of my best<br />
memories of the Hamptons is running on the beach barefoot with my dog,<br />
Striker, at dawn. But the Hamptons is also parties, events and, of course, horses.<br />
Our <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> of <strong>EQ</strong> delves deeply into everything that makes the<br />
Hamptons one of the most desirable summer destinations in the world—and<br />
certainly a favorite of many Equicap clients. We’re excited to extend our lifestyle<br />
departments to include luxe watch reviews, summer fashion and great boats like<br />
the Vanquish VQ 58. From how to spend a perfect day in Sag Harbor to the local<br />
Hamptons food scene to the most coveted equestrian estates, <strong>EQ</strong> is on the scene.<br />
Thanks to our partnership with Manhattan Motorcars, we had another<br />
great cover shoot—this time with the GTO 250 Ferrari at Campbell Stables.<br />
Our equestrian coverage includes a brief history of polo as well as insights from<br />
Faye Weisberg, a seasoned broker with Saunders in Bridgehampton who has the<br />
$40 million Campbell Stables listing. We also caught up with Deborah Srb of<br />
Sotheby’s International Realty who’s representing The Watchcase in Sag Harbor<br />
which has become one of the hottest markets in the Hamptons.<br />
Of course at <strong>EQ</strong> we will always have real estate development in our DNA.<br />
Don’t miss our piece on 565 Broome, the fabulous Renzo Piano development<br />
in SoHo as well as stories about zoning (“Transferring Development Rights”),<br />
lending (“Q&A with Mike Jaynes of Hall Structured Finance”) and wealth<br />
management (“Fund Towns”). We’re thrilled that Bruce McGuire of the<br />
Greenwich Economic Forum contributed his insights on the opportunities<br />
created by China’s growing domestic hedge fund industry.<br />
We hope you enjoy the new issue of <strong>EQ</strong>. As always, I welcome your feedback;<br />
