COLUMBINE is one of the most exciting - yet realistic projects we have come across. We consider her worth now substantially attributable to Alex Laird, whose respect for such vessels of this vintage and extensive knowledge have put him in the vanguard of classic yacht revival over the last 20 years. The hard work he has already applied combined with the enthusiasm and innate good taste of her owner have yielded frankly an almost incredible platform for completion by someone appreciative of COLUMBINE both as she is and as she can become. This is of course supported by the extent and quality of the materials and period fittings available - so assiduously collected by an owner with a thirst for all things beautiful – and wherever possible; original.
