Design

12

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

09/08/13 Fairlie 53 nears completion

The bespoke new Fairlie 53 long distance cruising yacht is nearing completion with her hand crafted interior furniture currently being finalised and the deck layout taking shape. The Fairlie 53 is a one-off custom world cruising yacht that has been designed with detailed input from the owner.

She is the realisation of a dream that will lead to a year of world cruising. The yacht has a ‘fin and skeg’ arrangement that is ideal for fast and easy cruising which will be combined with a modern rig designed to ensure easy short-handed sail handling. Toby Hodges from Yachting World recently reviewed progress on the yacht and commented “As you’d expect the craftsmanship is exemplary. Fairlie really are a design and build yard in the tradition of those of 100 years ago.”

Full details of the build process of the new Fairlie 53 can be found on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/fairlieyachts together with some video footage on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpOu1EBIanU . The yacht will be available for test sails for prospective clients in the Autumn and is available to view in build by emailing here. fairlie@ancastayachts.com
