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

18/10/13 Fairlie restored Fife 8m ‘Falcon’ winner of Neptune Trophy at 8m World Championships in 2013

The Fife 8 metre Falcon was built in 1930 together with her sister Fulmar and near sister Severn. These yachts were amongst the faster 8m’s designed by Fife.

In the early sixties Falcon and Fulmar were shipped to the Vancouver Yacht Club together with Sulaire and Concerto. In 2011, with the 8 Metre World Championship taking place in Cowes, a decision was made to bring the yacht to Fairlie for completion. Much of the interior had survived the eighty or so years since her original build and the owner asked that as much as possible was used again. As Falcon is only used for regattas the decision was taken to fit a shaft line and blank it off and not fit an engine.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the owner led to Falcon finishing in the top third in Cowes in 2011 and first in the Neptune Trophy Class in Helsinki, Finland in 2013. The spars by Absolute and sails by the Gosport loft of North Sails together with rod rigging by HYS greatly contributed to her success.
