Fairlie Yachts Design Conception

Designed for both cruising and racing, these magnificent yachts reflect the style and quality of a golden age of yachting. This coupled with a modern underwater body and rig, creates a yacht which is as easy to handle as any modern yacht on the market today.

Our Green Credentials

At Fairlie Yachts we are concerned about the hardwoods and trees that go into building these yachts

The Fairlie Build

A substantial yacht is made up of a thousand details, and the whole may be far greater than the sum of these parts, yet without people, she is nothing

Design Concepts

The yacht designs showcased in these pages were conceived by a desire to make Fairlie’s unique quality, skills and knowledge available to a wider group of individuals

History

11

Fairlie Restorations of Fife classics began in 1985 with a rich history running through to the launch of a new range of classic Yachts.

Skills and Workforce

Fairlie has a history of working with a skilled workforce, drawing on the history of traditional yacht building in the Southampton area

Restoration

From 1987, and starting with the Altair project, Fairlie have been restoring traditional sailing yachts of all sizes

Fife’s Legacy

With the first decade of the 21st Century run its course, a few thoughts on the reasons why the designs of a third generation Ayrshire born yacht designer remain so important 150 years after his birth

21/09/10 Fairlie announce the new Fairlie 55, a “Spirit of Tradition” yacht

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 Mariquita, Tuiga and The Lady Anne to elegant cruising yachts such as Kentra and 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.
