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.

GUILLEMOT is a labour of love – her last two owners have carefully brought her back to life substantially restoring her to a high level of thorough and painstaking workmanship, combined with great attention to detail and use of the best possible materials. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/369/brooke-and-co-34-ft-ts-motor-yacht-1924 The end result is a stunning vessel above and below the waterline, inside and out. Modern comforts and equipment have been incorporated into the traditional accommodation without spoiling her unique ambience. Most recently she has had new additions including her deck replaced, new caulking done in the traditional way, bright work re-varnished, engines fully serviced, new life raft, tender and bathing platform.

LAK II is a beautiful yacht that in a sense carries in her timbers the story of France over the past 85 years. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/742/LAK%20II Born in a brief period of optimism between depression and war, and somehow a survivor of that war’s deprivations; designed by a young naval architect, André Mauric, whose genius would later become universally recognised; vibrant participant in the carefree post war years, and in France’s intense America’s Cup campaigns of the 1970s... But in the end, a wonderful yacht because André Mauric had that touch of technical and artistic flair that guarantees immortality. LAK II was given a new lease of life in 2007 that ensures another lifetime of pleasure giving. In current ownership in England she has been recently given a fully electric propulsion system and new sails, and won her class at the 2022 edition of British Classic Week.
