MARIQUITA is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful classic yachts sailing today.
Designed and built for industrialist Arthur Stothert by William Fife III she was launched in 1911 at Fairlie on the Clyde
river in Scotland. As a gaff rigged cutter of the 19 Metre Class MARIQUITA is a direct link to the historic Big Class and
a precursor to the J-Class that would follow in the 1930’s.
When launched MARIQUITA caught the imagination of everyone that followed sailing just before the First World War
and, over a hundred years later, she still does since being entirely restored by Fairlie Restorations in 2003 following
the highest standards in wooden construction. The same year she set sail once again and is now one of the stars of
the Classic Circuit. Over the last decade she has sailed on the Clyde, Cowes, Falmouth, and countless Mediterranean
regattas including Monaco Classic Week, Regates Royales de Cannes and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
She represents a unique opportunity to enter into the exclusive classic sailing yachts circuit and enjoy the excitements
of racing on such a legendary magnificent yacht.
She also offers great comfort and refined interior accommodation for cruising in the Mediterranean Sea or else where.
