ave you noticed
how some nations
seem to have
certain things that
they’re particularly
good at building- almost as though it’s hardwired
into the population’s DNA?
Take Switzerland. Not only
is it the country of origin for
Rolex, probably the most famous
watch brand in the world, but also
Omega, Breitling, Patek Philipe,
Tag Heuer and many other highly
regarded watch brands. The
Japanese – they know how to
put a motorcycle together. Honda,
Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, whoelse in the world has a bike line-up
like that? The Germans, of course,
do cars – indeed they pretty much
invented them. Mercedes-Benz,
Porsche, BMW, Audi, VW and
they own Lamborghini, Rolls-
Royce and Bentley these days!
So what of the British? Well, we
build boats, and we build themwell. Sunseeker, Princess, Fairline,
Seaward – all world renowned
British yards still going great guns
today. Even our back catalogue is
unimpeachable – Broom, Fletcher,
Fairey, Powles – gone but never
forgotten. So to celebrate, here
are four older thoroughbred craft
that hail from our sceptred isle.Find me a British
