Could the the International Rule 10-Metre be the most perfect of all the Metric classes? 58 ft/ 18 m of overall length are enough to wow - if RITA IV doesn't already do that by looks - yet handy enough to sail and race with family and friends. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/561/william-fife-iii-58ft-international-10-metre-19262015 And RITA IV brings that extra dimension of being a William #fife design, and, what's more, a former Royal #yacht . Rescued from oblivion by a passionate syndicate of died-in-the-wool yacht #racing aficionados and superbly #restored at David Viera and Miguel Ministro's Absolute Yachts, the result is #structurally sound, fair, fast, and a true delight to the eye - in fact the definition of 'Fast and Bonnie'.
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.
