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.
Giorno 315 - SICILIA. Ci eravamo lasciati con una notte da trascorrere in mare e ci ritroviamo qui, a raccontarvi un altro pezzo del nostro viaggio e della nostra vita. La notte si prospetta tranquilla secondo ogni modello meteo consultato. Ma quando vedi nuvole e fulmini, l’attenzione si alza e ti prepara a possibili cambiamenti. Complice anche il bombardamento di video che stiamo vedendo su quello che è successo da poco a Ibiza e Formentera. Per fortuna tutto scorre tranquillo, nessuna goccia dal cielo, ma molta umidità su Julia. Arriviamo a Trapani nel pomeriggio, in una giornata di sole. Domani sarà una giornata di sistemazione e visita della città. Quanti di voi stavano già seguendo il nostro viaggio quando vi abbiamo portati con noi e Alberto a scoprire le Egadi e Trapani? Ci leggiamo domani, abbiamo ore di sonno da recuperare qui! Un bacione e a domani♥️ Andrea
