Can a yacht look straight out of the 1930s and still sail like a modern performance cruiser? SPIRIT YACHTS Spirit 63DH © SPIRIT YACHTS Length: 63 ft (19.2 m) Beam: 13.8 ft (4.2 m) Draft: 9.2 ft (2.8 m) Displacement: 19.2 tons Top Speed (under sail): 10+ knots Price: approx. US\$ 2.9 Million With its sweeping mahogany curves and long overhangs, the Spirit 63DH (Deckhouse) captures vintage yacht aesthetics but hides modern sailing muscle underneath. Built entirely in wood using epoxy composite methods, it's lightweight and extremely rigid—ready for offshore passages or fast weekend races. The raised deckhouse design creates a bright saloon with panoramic views, while the layout includes a full-beam owner's suite aft, two guest cabins, and a central galley. Every inch is crafted by hand, from the varnished joinery to the teak decking. Behind its throwback charm is a yacht made for serious sailing, combining timeless design with real bluewater capability. #SpiritYachts #ClassicYachtStyle #BluewaterSailing #HarbourMasters

The first test of our Dyneema loops that replace metal chainplates as part of our full Dyneema Standing rigging project within the full refit of our 1977 Rival 38. We are refitting our Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement in a few years. Two years ago, when we bought Vida she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings. We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all electric (motor, cooking etc). Now that the inside is dry (thanks to new windows, new hatches and leak chasing) we are fitting her out for live-aboard world cruising. That includes no fossil fuels, updating the rig and deck plus much more. Lots more detail on our blog at https://sustainablesailing.net/ We are on Ko-Fi! where you can buy us a coffee :-) https://ko-fi.com/sustainablesailing #DyneemaRigging #DyneemaStandingRigging #SyntheticRigging #Shorts
