William Fife III Classic Gaff Schooner

The re-creation of William Fife's beautiful 1901 schooner SUNSHINE in Myanmar a century after the original build at Fairlie is one of the great romances of the classic yacht revival. The result is a thoroughly practical classic yacht, faithfully replicating William Fife III’s sweet and efficient lines, deck layout and rig design, but with an easily maintained steel hull designed and built under Lloyd’s supervision, and a modern interpretation in her beautifully hand crafted accommodation that offers both sociability and privacy. The whole retains the elegance of the past and evokes the great schooner era of the early 1900s. SUNSHINE is a yacht with huge personality. In present ownership she has been maintained to the standard demanded by both her provenance and commercial coding, and is ready to be thoroughly enjoyed.
