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.

Se nos ha vuelto a fisurar por 2 vez el ARCO de POPA. El soporte del aerogenerador no nos lo hicieron bien dimensionado para aguantar el peso de este aerogenerador!🤦🏼‍♂️ En serio?????🤷🏼 Ahora sí, hemos decidido quitarlo para siempre! Aquí tenéis la PRIMERA PARTE del jaleo que conlleva que un soldador venga ⛵️ a arreglarlo. No es todo decir: ven, y lo arreglas! No!!! Todas las marinas llenas, y no te dejan ni un hueco… pero al final, al cabo de unos meses… LO CONSEGUIMOS!!!💪Hay que quitar todos los cables que pasan por los tubos del arco (placas solares, aerogenerador y starlink), para que NO los QUEMEN y NO se derritan!!!😱 (PD.: un cable quedó dentro, se quemó, y ahora está ahí tó derretío😂). . . . #sail #sailing #barco #barcos #sailing_lasonambula #velero #paradise #tortuga #caribe #caribbean #carib #destino #navegar #navegaravela #navegarporelmundo #travel #sailingaroundtheworld #turtle #navegaravela #island #isla #compra #shop #shoping #mercadoflotante #venezuela #paisesbajos #curacao #curacao #floatingmarket #market #fruitandveg

Hayley's school work is currently focused on persuasive texts. In her current module she was required to make an advertisement for Antarctic Ice. Hayley thought making a 30 second TV ad would be fun. Acting team was recruited (from another boat as well as ours) and the director set to work!
