We are very fortunate in offering for sale some of the most beautiful boats in the World, and we consider it both our pleasure and our duty to guide you carefully towards ownership of the yacht that is right for you. Of course there are choices to make, but whether the artistry of William Fife, the balance of Olin Stephens, the sure-footedness of a Buchanan or Holman and more contemporary yachts, we would want the love affair - which may start here - to be enduring.

OPPOSITION (EX MORNING CLOUD II) : SPARKMAN & STEPHENS 41 FT IOR BERMUDAN SLOOP 1971/2008

This beautiful piece of mid-century, Sparkman & Stephen-designed sailing hardware in all its glossy mahogany glory, OPPOSITION, formerly Ted Heath’s second MORNING CLOUD, is as fine and as famous an example as they come from an era when racing yachts - even those built to the then quite new IOR Rule - could still look beautiful to anyone’s eye. Seventeen years on from a major rebuild undertaken at her original builders, Clare Lallow, OPPOSITION still looks just out of restoration and comes available just when interest in boats of her era is on the rise. A new class for such yachts has been inaugurated by C.I.M. at the Mediterranean classic regattas. OPPOSITION is very carefully laid up indoors and is in antifoul and go condition.

ARROW : 35 FT WEST SOLENT ONE DESIGN W-1 1924/1999

ARROW was among the first of the West Solents to be built at Lymington in 1924, and the last of a lucky group of these ultra elegant and fast 1920s sports boats to be restored by Peter Brookes at Maldon through the 1990s. She has subsequently become arguably the best known of them, campaigned very successfully in two ownerships over 25 years in both Mediterranean and south and southeast of England classic regattas. ARROW is also unarguably the best equipped classic regatta package, optimised to compete under both CIM and IRC rules, and transported (and ‘dry sailed’ indoors) aboard her very own UK and EU-legal 19-tonne truck that is included in the sale. What is there not to like?!

FIFI : WILLIAM FIFE III / HENRY B. NEVINS 40 FT R-CLASS SLOOP 1925/2024

Designed by Fife of Fairlie, Scotland, and built by Nevins of City Island, New York — yacht design and build pedigree doesn’t get much better. When Larchmont Yacht Club member Harry L. Maxwell decided to join the burgeoning mid-1920s Long Island Sound Universal Rule R-Class fleet, his Ulster-Scots ancestry took him to William Fife III for the design of FIFI and he had her built relatively locally by the perfectionist, Henry B. Nevins. During seven summers of hard class racing, and many more as a performance cruiser-racer that’s a lot of fun to sail, FIFI’s pedigree stood her in good stead. The inevitable later life deep restoration in current ownership means that FIFI enters her second century as strong if not stronger than her first, and as beautiful as ever.

HAVSÖRNEN : TORE HOLM 53 FT BERMUDAN CUTTER 1937/1987

HAVSÖRNEN is a very fine example of Scandinavian design and boat building from Tore Holm at the peak of his powers with the build supervised by him in his family yard. Well maintained by her present owner, including a major winter refit 2016-2017 in her last ownership; she has over the years excelled on the Mediterranean regatta circuit and has also proven herself a very capable cruising yacht. Her seaworthy hull provides good headroom below, and the interior finish is a delight.

HAVSÖRNEN is coming back to our list very shortly; we raced her in St Tropez some 5 years ago and she is fun to sail; quick to accelerate and potentially a race winner in the Vintage Class…S&S Yawls watch out!?

ROBERT CLARK 39 FT MYSTERY CLASS SLOOP 1938/2001 : CERESTE

CERESTE is such a perfect example of a state of the art late 1930s classic yacht that it’s hard to believe the Mystery Class design was Robert Clark’s first, having served no apprenticeship with an established design office, or any training in yacht construction. Twelve were built just before and after the Second World War, with CERESTE one of the finest living examples following her extensive rebuild by Suffolk Yacht Harbour 1998-2001. In the ensuing years she’s been more racer than cruiser, with an enviable prize haul: competitive under both IRC and CIM without compromise to her beautifully proportioned sail plan. Her enticing accommodation, very easily handled rig, and the reputation for all round competence Robert Clark’s Mystery Class comes with, also guarantees that gentle or more ambitions cruising in CERESTE with family and friends will always give pleasure. With that added ingredient of the elegance afforded by a masterpiece.

LAK II : ANDRÉ MAURIC 46 FT BERMUDAN SLOOP 1939/2007

LAK II is a beautiful yacht that in a sense carries in her timbers the story of France over the past 85 years. Born in a brief period of optimism between depression and war, and somehow a survivor of that war’s deprivations; designed by a young naval architect, André Mauric, whose genius would later become universally recognised; vibrant participant in the carefree post war years, and in France’s intense America’s Cup campaigns of the 1970s... But in the end, a wonderful yacht because André Mauric had that touch of technical and artistic flair that guarantees immortality. LAK II was given a new lease of life in 2007 that ensures another lifetime of pleasure giving. In current ownership in England she has been recently given a fully electric propulsion system and new sails, and won her class at the 2022 edition of British Classic Week and has not been off the podium since… we can’t help thinking LAK II should be back racing in the Mediterranean and cleaning up under the CIM Rule…💪

PEGGY BAWN : G L WATSON 36 FT GAFF CUTTER 1894/2005

PEGGY BAWN is a rare thing indeed. The number of surviving vessels from pioneering Clydeside yacht designer George Lennox Watson’s lifetime (1851-1904) can be counted on a careless carpenter’s fingers. Long gone are his huge America’s Cup challengers and “Big Class” racing yachts, and only two of the fleet of palatial steam yachts – the superyachts of their day – from his Glasgow drawing boards are known to survive, in fabulous condition although barely recognisable from their original appearance. It is left to PEGGY BAWN to carry the flame for Watson’s groundbreaking mid-1890s work in setting the standard for moderation in sailing yacht design, work that has never been challenged – only endorsed by those who followed his lead through the 20th century, especially Olin J. Stephens, who was a self-confessed Watson fan. PEGGY BAWN’s gilded “fiddle” bow was anachronistic even at her launching in 1894, partly a past fad, partly practical, undoubtedly beautiful – an interim stage in the development of extending immersed waterlines for faster sailing when heeled with a more buoyant hull – but it conceals the fact that when her award-winning restoration team began assessing what they’d found in a County Waterford hay barn in 2003, they quickly realised that the “numbers” – yacht designer speak for the various ratios that define a hull – were simply a scaled-down version of those for Watson’s famous royal racing cutter Britannia of 1893. PEGGY BAWN’s present owner can vouch for that from fourteen seasons of racing and cruising aboard her in northern and Mediterranean Europe, and east coast USA.

We captured these images on the Solent last week with our great friend, drone pilot and photographer ace, Richard Langdon.

CHLOË GISELLE : SPIRIT YACHTS 65 2015

In the Spirit Yachts 65 the marque has come of age, designer Sean McMillan leaving behind skerry cruiser roots to evolve something unique and of course highly attractive. Still with an eye for the grace and craftsmanship of the 1930s, but perhaps suggesting how the work of mid-century British yacht designers like Camper & Nicholsons, Kim Holman, George McGruer and Angus Primrose might have evolved. CHLOË GISELLE is probably the Spirit 65 that has ticked off the most sailing locations in her short lifetime in the knowledgeable ownership of a repeat Spirit Yachts client. She made her maiden forays afloat in the Far East, and with family and friends has raced and cruised both sides of the Atlantic and the English Channel. CHLOË GISELLE’s sail handling systems allow for effortless short-handed sailing, while below her beautifully lit and spacious accommodation offers great conviviality and privacy all at the same time.

We filmed her here last week on the sunny Solent☀️
