It may be hard to understand just how revolutionary SKYE’s original Daimler petroleum internal combustion power plant was when she was new. It’s a remarkable fact that when this beautiful launch was first commissioned - we educatedly guess, in 1895 - there may have been as few as 14 or 15 internal combustion engine powered motor cars on Britain’s roads. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/740/SKYE Beautifully built by one of the Firth of Clyde’s finest small craft builders, she spent her first 115 years with the same family on the Isle of Skye, about 65 of them laid up in a nicely salty boathouse. SKYE was the find of a lifetime for meticulous and experienced boat restorer Chris Cracknell. Her next owner - only her third - takes on not only a remarkable piece of maritime history, but also a beautiful example of careful restoration.
This video was shot on Stefan Voss’ Archambault 35 OM ripping along into the darkest night on the Round Skagen Race 2022. That night they sped through the fleet keeping up with 50 and 55-footers. The finish of the 510-mile race was much less excited as they picked their way from catspaw to catspaw to keep moving in the lightest of breezes.
