Named after one of the brightest of stars, the William Fife III schooner ALTAIR’s near mythical status in the classic yacht world is all for very good reason - this yacht has become the standard-bearer for the cause of authenticity since her landmark restoration in 1987. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/718/ALTAIR While important as the yacht that started what has become the classic yacht revival, that role is as nothing to her own status at the top of this hierarchy. ALTAIR is the ultimate vintage yacht – and surely one of the world’s most beautiful works of mind and hand. Always the darling of the classic regatta fleet and often winning her class, in more recent years she has succeeded in paying homage to her original owner’s unfulfilled desire to safely sail to the South Sea Islands. Her dimensions have allowed for the modern comforts that a smaller classic will not; all discreetly concealed and allowing her to cruise anywhere. Above all, she is blessed with the spirit engendered by her original designer, the incomparable William Fife III. As one of the very few classic yachts of her vintage afloat with unbroken Lloyd's ✠100A1 classification, having passed survey again with flying colours in 2021, ALTAIR is in her element - as ready to cruise the world as she is for racing.

Cure Marine made a splash on the international scene at the recent Annapolis Sailboat Show, where we showcased our new Cure 55 to an enthusiastic audience. The event showcased one of the largest arrays of luxury yachts, catamarans and marine products, all against the picturesque backdrop of historic Annapolis on the Chesapeake Bay. The new Cure 55 received an outstanding reception. Visitors were especially taken with our 3D Virtual Reality tour, which allowed them to navigate the Cure 55's layout and its intelligent design in a captivating manner. We also displayed an assortment of 3D-printed components for non-structural fittings and trims, underscoring our dedication to advanced technology. At Cure Marine, our emphasis has consistently been on quality – the quality of performance, fit and finish, components, and, crucially, craftsmanship. 'Noire', the Bloomfield Custom 70, constructed by Cure Marine and launched in March this year, stands as a testament to this, as do our previous high-performance cruising catamarans and monohulls. The next available Cure 55 delivery slot is November 2025 - Secure your dream boat today.
