CLASSIC BOAT JUNE 2019
Even by modern standards, FIREBIRD, Robert Clark’s
understated masterpiece defies the norm that classic yachts don’t
have enough accommodation, whilst performing well enough
to win a transatlantic race in the early 1990s. Lovingly looked
after by Italian family owners for most of her life, including recent
replacement of her expansive deck. Whether for enjoying la dolce
vita with her huge cockpit and sunbathing areas, or letting her
roam blue waters, FIRE BIRD is one of the finest classic yachts of
her size available today.

60 ft Norman Dallimore Bermudan Ketch 1937 68 ft Robert Clark Bermudan Yawl 1963
BLUE TROUT is the largest expression of the remarkable
designer-builder relationship between Norman Dallimore and
William King & Sons that majored on fast cruisers with classic
good looks, attention to detail, the finest of materials and great
sailing qualities. And she may be one of the best proven, having
taken her present owner safely and comfortably, singlehanded
from Greece to England, with a little detour via Antigua along the
way. In more recent seasons, though sailing less miles, she has
been very carefully cared for and upgraded, remaining afloat and
well covered from the elements when out of commission.

51 ft Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter William Stoba
1904/2010
The Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter type has long been held in the
highest of esteem as the perfect all round sailing vessel, and
ALPHA completely fits that billing. Her long and interesting life
has been guaranteed to last many more years after a restoration
undertaken by and under the supervision of some of the best
possible practitioners of their craft, for owners who really knew
what they wanted. Independent of all the superb craftsmanship,
the key element that has been restored in ALPHA is her ability
from birth as a superbly easily handled vessel under sail and
power by just two people, whilst offering the most comfortable of
accommodation for long periods with plenty of space for friends.

61 ft John Alden Yawl 1940
Alden’s designs were influential in generating interest in offshore
sailing; their strength and short ended hulls offering security and
an easy motion. IRONDEQUOIT II is a powerful, easily driven
yacht and fast passage maker. She has flush decks forward and
a small house aft, with a comfortable cockpit well aft. In recent
years she has done well in the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta,
Regates Royales in Cannes and Les Voiles de St Tropez. In
her current ownership she has once again proven herself as a
superb family cruiser – gifted as she is with Alden combination of
graceful good looks, easy handling and good sea keeping.

59 ft Starling Burgess Staysail Schooner 2004
NIÑITA is a striking, strong and well proven blue water cruiser with
an amazing pedigree: a hull lines and rig replica of the Starling
Burgess-designed schooner NIÑA, once described by Olin
Stephens as, “the only boat he knew of that looked good from
any angle”. Built of strip plank Douglas fir epoxy by one of the
great schooner builders of the modern age, since launching in
2004 NIÑITA has been in almost constant commission as a very
able eastern north Atlantic cruiser and exceptionally comfortable
floating home, with a Baltic cruise north of the Arctic Circle and
many classic rallies and regatta wins - all just two-up - also
included in her impressive sailing programme.

60 ft John Alden Gaff Schooner 1939/1946
DIRIGO II is a fully functional classic schooner yacht of
impeccable pedigree, still sailing the ocean doing what she was
intended and built for - which is to take family, friends, and crew
on adventures: voyaging and sailing in style, in both communal
and private comfort, and safely. Two major structural refits under
present ownership since 2010 leave this handsome and proven
schooner a long way from retirement sitting at a dock as another
pretty face. The current owner is willing to participate and/or
assist in the re-location of the DIRIGO II as required.
