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.

Pedro Fernandes de Queirós, navegador português, em 1606 foi o inventor da palavra Austrália e o primeiro europeu a chegar a Vanuatu, no Pacífico Sul. Dois feitos que se cruzam por acaso. Vanuatu, país independente desde 1980, antes chamado Novas Hébridas, foi visitado primeiramente pelo navegador português Pedro Fernandes de Queiroz em 1606, que ao chegar à ilha de Espírito Santo acreditou estar na Austrália, assim inventando o nome do maior país da Oceânia. Foi também ele o primeiro europeu a contactar com as tribos melanésias locais de #Vanuatu. Ao chegar à ilha vindo de oeste e sendo já esperada uma grande terra no hemisfério austral, antes descoberta pelo lado este e norte por expedições portuguesas, ele nomeou a ilha como Austrialia do Espírito Santo. Na época a dinastia filipina em Portugal e Espanha era dos Habsburgo, da Áustria, assim também homenageando a coroa vigente. Hoje em dia existem duas estátuas dele em Sydney e Camberra, e a maior ilha de Vanuatu é chamada Espiritu Santo, em sua homenagem. Vem conhecer este herói da história marítima mundial, estudado nas escolas de Vanuatu, e homenageado nas ruas da Austrália, mas tão pouco conhecido em Portugal.
