As work progreses on the 53 at Fairlie headquarters in Port Hamble, a few 3D renders have been released.

 

Ancasta are very excited to announce that the latest Bordeaux 60 -  hull number 36, is now available to purchase.  Soon to leave the shipyard and head for the Paris Boat show, this fine example of CNB’s craftsmanship is the stunning result of detailing and improving upon the luxury of the Philippe Briand design. 

The CNB shipyard have listened very carefully to customer’s feedback and not only does hull number 36 come very well specified, but this will be the first 60 to boast a brand new Classic Oak interior woodwork. 

The beautiful show yacht includes all the long term cruising options that the discerning seafarer could wish for, including a Sea Recovery water maker, 11kva generator, a Miele washer/dryer, a Miele dishwasher, a Halls Carbon V boom, Mastervolt inverter and many more added extras.

Forward orders for a new Bordeaux 60 now go through to July, so the Paris show boat presents an excellent opportunity for anyone wishing to be on the water in time for Spring 2013. Once having viewed  her, it won’t take long to realise why 35 of her predecessors are already sailing worldwide.

The brand new Fairlie 53, which was commissioned this August, is now well under way and on schedule for its launch in August 2013. The one off, custom design has now been in production for 6 weeks, so we shall keep you updated on its progress right through to completion next year.

To re-cap, the Fairlie 53’s dimensions are:

Length - 16.3m / 53 ft
Beam - 3.95m / 13 ft
Draught - 2.6m / 8.5 ft
Displacement - 13,500kg / 29,700 lbs

As you can see from our photos, the team are currently in the process of making 25 sets of laminated mahogany frames and have begun assembling them with the deck frames.  The back bone will soon be put into place, and in the meantime, a complete interior mock-up has been built of plywood which is one to one scale. This gives great reference to our team of eight full time specialists who are currently working on the project and ensures that every inch of space is utilised to its fullest potential.

We’ll make sure we keep you updated as this beautiful new boat takes shape.

Hot on the tail of the hugely successful Fairlie 55 and its subsequent sale, Ancasta have secured a brand new project for the fabulous Fairlie Yachts.

Searching for the ultimate vessel in which he could sail shorthanded around the world, a gentleman approached  Ancasta’s Palma office in Majorca and told us of his desire to pursue his dream in a classic world cruising yacht.  After considering up to three different European boat yards, our Spanish client set his heart upon Fairlie’s outstanding craftsmanship and has now commissioned the design and build of a brand new Fairlie 53. 

The Fairlie 53 is a one off, custom design which will take a year in production and is due to be launched in August 2013.

Its dimensions are to be…
Length                   16.3m        53 ft
Beam                      3.95m      13 ft
Draught                   2.6m         8.5 ft
Displacement      13,500kg   29,700 lbs

When Ancasta first introduced the new Fairlie 55 to the world at the Cannes Yacht Show last September, we knew that the combination of an exquisite classic design and exemplary craftsmanship would make her a real head turner. 

It didn’t take long before she found her rightful owner, who perhaps unsurprisingly, hails from the glamorous film industry. To be enjoyed as a family weekend retreat, she will be deservedly idolised in all her glory while moored in her new home, the luxury marina at Portofino, Italy.

The Fairlie 55 is the first in the new ‘spirit of tradition’ class and while recapturing the style and allure of a golden era, offers high performance sailing and is constructed of only the finest quality materials.  Fairlie Yachts are delighted that their much acclaimed design will be used as intended, and enjoyed in the sunny climes she deserves.

 CNB are welcoming visitors to France’s exclusive yachting destination, Antibes, which is  particularly easy  to reach, located only 18km from Nice airport.  While soaking up the summer atmosphere, it will soon become very apparent, that at  £1.2 million (inclusive of VAT), the Bordeaux 60 is the most competitively priced  60 foot luxury yacht available on the market today.

The newly-launched Fairlie 55 was put through her paces in a fresh breeze in the Solent this week revealing superb performance and handling to match her fine looks. With finely crafted period design combined with state of the art technology, the first in the Spirit of Tradition class of quality sailing yachts lived up to expectations in her first sea trials ahead of an official launch at the Cannes International Yacht & Boat Show in Cannes next month.

Designer Paul Spooner said the Fairlie 55’s had performed “exceptionally well” in her first outing under sail. “We had high expectations for the Fairlie 55’s performance and she has exceeded them this week. She has proved herself to be outstanding out on the water and we’re looking forward to showing her off to potential buyers. She is really easy to handle, responsive and fast – all in all a real pleasure to sail,” Spooner said.

Less than two weeks ago the Fairlie 55 was lifted into the water by Hamble Yacht Services from Fairlie’s premises where the yacht has been constructed by a team of highly skilled craftsmen. The final finishing touches are now been made before the yacht is transported to the south of France for an official launch and international media visits at the Cannes International Yacht and Boat Show which runs from 6-11 September 2011.

Fairlie’s Duncan Walker said: “This week’s sea trials have cemented our belief that the Fairlie 55 will perform well in any regatta fleet. Although she boasts the styling of a vintage boat, don’t be deceived as she also benefits from a state of the art rig and sails, together a modern underwater body coupled with a fin and bulb keel which ensures that her performance is second to none.”

Alastair Shove of Ancasta Yachts, the exclusive international sales agents for the Fairlie 55, said: “We’re delighted that this week’s sea trials for the Fairlie 55 have gone so well. She has revealed herself to be a remarkable performer out on the water and there is still the opportunity to be the owner of a boat that is already turning heads thanks to her exquisite looks and great performance.”

With final finishing and sea trials well underway on the first yacht in this new class, work has already started on the build of the next Fairlie 55 with frames being laminated at Fairlie’s premises in Hamble. The Spirit of Tradition yachts will comprise the Fairlie 55, the Fairlie 66, the Fairlie 78 and the Fairlie 110.

The new Fairlie 55 was successfully lifted into the water on Thursday becoming the first of the Spirit of Tradition class of quality sailing yachts to be launched.
The finely crafted yacht was transferred from Fairlie’s premises at Hamble Yacht Services to be lifted into the River Hamble under glorious sunshine. She is now moored alongside for the last stages of the production process, with her rig due to be stepped in the next couple of days and final finishing being undertaken ahead of sea trials over the coming weeks.

Fairlie’s Duncan Walker said: “It’s phenomenal what the team has achieved in the last seven months. I’ve been immensely proud of the work everyone has put in to ensure the whole process has been carried out to the very highest standard and on schedule. Now the most important thing is to go for a sail and we’re confident that her performance will live up to her looks.

Following the successful turning of the hull in March, the build has progressed to plan and within weeks the yacht will be turning heads in the Solent as sea trials get underway. Designer Paul Spooner said he was pleased to see the launch go so smoothly after such an intense period of preparation. “As a designer it is always a big day when the boat finally gets wet, but everything went to plan and we’re now looking forward to putting her through her paces under sail,” he said.

Following sea trials and visits from potential buyers, the Fairlie 55 will be transported to the South of France for an official launch at the Cannes International Boat and Yacht Show, which runs from 6-11 September. The Fairlie 55 will be on display in the Vieux Port giving visitors the chance to preview the
yacht in a world-class setting.

Alastair Shove of Ancasta Yachts, the exclusive international sales agents for the Fairlie 55, said: “We’re delighted to see the first Fairlie 55 successfully
lifted into the water on schedule today and look forward to showing our clients her superb performance to match her stylish looks over the coming weeks both in the Solent and at Cannes.”

As the first boat was lowered into the water, plans were already underway to commence the build of the next Fairlie 55. “Within the next two weeks we’ll start to laminate the frames for the next boat, so there’ll be little let up on the workload,” Duncan Walker said.

The Spirit of Tradition yachts will comprise the Fairlie 55, the Fairlie 66, the Fairlie 78 and the Fairlie 110.

Thursday 17th March was an exciting day at Fairlie Yachts. The Fairlie 55 was carefully rotated the right way up!

For the time being the bottom of the hull is complete and the internal fitout will now commence. The build remains ahead of schedule and all eyes are focussed on completion by end July/early August. Sea trials will then commence in the Solent.
