The “Spirit of Tradition” class of sailing yachts are a fusion of modern day performance with the elegance of a bygone era. The popularity of such yachts is testament to the unrelenting appetite for yachting’s golden days, whilst incorporating luxury and performance that would have never been possible in these early days of yachting.
For 20 years, Fairlie Restorations has built, maintained and restored over 20 of the world’s most exquisite and famous classic yachts. From legendary racing yachts such as sailing yacht Mariquita, S/Y Tuiga and The Lady Anne to elegant cruising yachts such as Kentra and S/Y Altair, Fairlie Restorations has been responsible for defining the current high standards for classic yachts worldwide.
The new Fairlie 55 “Spirit of Tradition” yacht brings together decades of unmistakable Fairlie build quality, sparkling performance and exquisite finishing with a splendour that is clearly influenced by the designs of William Fife.
Hull #1 is currently in build, and whilst production is limited it is anticipated that the first 2 boats could be delivered in time for next year’s Classics season. Fairlie have appointed Ancasta Yachts to manage the sales and marketing of these unique and special yachts.
