Restorations, classic yacht replicas, traditionally built new yachts.
‘Fairlie’ is the name of the famous shipyard and spiritual home of the classic yachts designed by William Fife and is the adopted name for the Fairlie restoration programme. These magnificent restored examples of ‘functional art’ travel the world to compete in the most spectacular classic sailing regattas bringing together a special breed of owners who cherish these fine classic sailboats. Many owners extend their passion for restoration to many other areas of functional arts, including classic cars and collectable aircraft.

Classic Boat is supporting the Classic Channel Regatta and wishes all the contestants good luck and fair winds. Keeping the older boats seaworthy and racing them offshore is the best way to preserve them and the traditions they represent. In that sense this regatta is inspirational to the huge number of people who love traditional craft and it's a fantastic sight to see so many boats from older eras gathered together and sailing together in harbours like Dartmouth and Paimpol.
Classic Boat will be covering this event, hopefully by taking part in the Channel Race as we did in 2005.
