Fairlie 55 yacht test

Fairlie’s new 55 is a class boat aimed at sailors who want modern features with the looks of a classic. By Dan Houston, photos: Emily Harris

Taken from CB issue 285 March 2012

The day of the Cannes to St Tropez feeder race dawns bright and sunny with a fair outlook; the weather for this 25nM race has been decidedly changeable in some recent years. It’s also the day the CB team will join Fairlie’s all-new class boat – the Fairlie 55, launched down here just a few days earlier. She’s down here with her designer, Paul Spooner and she has been racing with other modern classics in the mixed fleets at the annual Régates Royales. We’d seen her the day before and with her elegant sheer and Pullman-style coachroof she carries a timeless appeal – only the large wheel and shortish boom of her bermudan rig suggest her modern underwater profile.

Fairlie Restorations is best known for its prestigious restoration work. The Hamble-based firm was set up in 1990 to restore the glamorous 15-M Tuiga after the success of the relaunch of the Fife schooner Altair in 1997 by a team of Southampton-based specialists. Fairlie has set the standard with many stunning yachts which now dominate the classic yachting circuit, such as The Lady Anne, Mariquita, Moonbeam of Fife and Hispania. Back in 2005 Fairlie built a hybrid classic, Niebla, a 60ft (18m) long-keel yacht, but the new 55 is a radical departure, as marked by being built and sold under a new company brand: Fairlie Yachts. With fin and bulb keel she has a modern dishy racing hull, though she carries some 17ft (5m) of overhangs with elegant tapering ends.

On deck The layout of the 55’s deck is conventional, with wide uncluttered side decks giving good access to the foredeck. The swept 12mm plain teak covering boards are joggled into the unvarnished king plank in a homage to tradition; teak also feels great underfoot and is naturally non-slip. The cockpit sole is also is teak covered and uncluttered by a mainsheet car; the sheet turns around a block on the sole itself. A bench seat aft and side benches provide plenty of space for owners and guests; the side benches are long enough to lie on, and with 9in (23cm) cockpit coamings they are going to be comfy without being challenging to climb out of onto the side decks. I thought this was a good friendly space and the low coachroof gives excellent visibility over the foredeck – great for racing and short-handed cruising. The foredeck, it must be said, is a triumph of design minimalism. The cabin trunk ends a few feet forward of the mast, creating a big open space for work on the foredeck. The forecabin hatch opens onto this but Fairlie craftsmanship ensures it is flush with the deck; there’ll be no howling from stubbed toes as the crew hands the spinnaker in the night. A second hatch contains the (20kg delta) anchor gear; the capstan-style anchor windlass, for chain and warp, is sited forward of this. The 55 also has bulwarks, rather than toerails, with a substantial capping rail. Some 14 removable stainless steel stanchions are mounted in sockets inboard of these. On deck all lines are taken back to the cockpit openly along the coachroof, where clutches hold halyards and reefing lines beside Anderson winches (one electric for the main halyard) on the coachroof. The headsail furler is in way of the cockpit coaming, within fairly easy reach of the helmsman. Deck cleats for mooring lines are Clyde pattern; all seven winches are Anderson with a second electric winch for the mainsheet aft of the cockpit. There is also plenty of space on the aft deck, for visitors to be out of the way when racing or just as an inviting space from the passerelle in port… OK we can call it a gangplank.

Under power The fin and bulb keel of the 55 ensures that manoeuvring in port is a fairly straightforward affair. The Volvo 55 with saildrive and folding propeller grips the water, stopping the 10-ton boat within her length at three knots, and she can pretty much be put where you want using a combination of prop walk and windage on the bows. The engine runs quiet, especially when below. And down below the 55 is pleasant and airy with good light from her gull-wing hatch just aft of the mast. There is a good 6ft (1.8m) of headroom – more under the heavily cambered coachroof. Accommodation is laid out in a central saloon with two double cabins – one in the forepeak and one aft – extending under the starboard side of the cockpit. A shower/heads is sited forward in way of the mast, while a separate heads with sink is located to port just in way of the companion. An L-shaped workspace houses the galley which serves the saloon with its bench seat to starboard and U-shaped settee to port. A forward-facing chart table is located aft of this. There is substantial locker space for cruising. Fairlie used a single trunk of utile for timber on the 55, ensuring that the grain matches. Worktops are dark-stained while the cabin sole and the trunk are lighter. The deckhead is the grooved ply subdeck, painted white.

Under Sail The 55 has North-built Dacron sails in the conventional modern aspect. North helped in the design of the rig – sheeting positions and so on – bringing some of its R&D knowhow to the project. So how does she perform? Well we got a very good start in the passage race, trucking across the line seconds after the gun. She’ll do six knots in eight knots of breeze and she’ll accelerate quickly too, heeling to the pressure and getting into the groove. Going upwind she looked very competitive and the efficiency of the hull shows most on this point of sail. It’s easy enough to head up, scooping some wind before losing any way; she handles like a big dinghy in this respect. Her helm is finger-light and she balances easily. But she’s also big enough to handle the small chop we encountered; she looks good moving in the water too – check out the video of her sailing trials on our website. Handling the sails is easy thanks to the electric winch for the main halyard, and the self-tailing Andersons. Once off the wind we hoisted her chute and this moved her well in the diminishing airs. However, the sailing turned into frustration as the wind died and the race was finished early. At least we did finish, though; much of the fleet had given up and gone in under power by then.

Fairlie’s new yacht is an exciting departure for the company which has established such a reputation for its fine carpentry in restoring classics. The firm also holds the archive of William Fife’s designs and it would be great to see it building a traditional boat from these. However, as MD Duncan Walker explains: “A modern boat of similar size offers enhanced sailing performance, manoeuvrability, reduction in necessary crew numbers, reduced maintenance cost, and so on. There is also a well-established market for the ‘Spirit of Tradition’ type yacht. But,” he adds, reassuringly, “we can also build a traditional replica Fife design; the classic gene is embedded in the company.” Ancient or modern – it’s your choice.

Fairlie Yachts Modern Classic 59 ft Bermudan Cutter 2005

These details are provisional and may be amended

BROKER'S COMMENTS

NIEBLA was conceived for the owner of an 18-metre-long mooring outside his house who knew exactly what he wanted to fill that space: a new, non-fin keel, moderate displacement, classic influenced yacht that could effortlessly be sailed by 2-3, relatively easily maintained, and would offer maximum comfort within the restrictions of a long-ended beauty. The starting point in NIEBLA's form was the 1926 Alfred Mylne bermudan cutter CHICANE, for many a paragon of classic purposefulness at a very handy size, and NIEBLA’s future owner had fallen for her charms. He has remained her owner for almost 20 years; the brief has been well proven. NIEBLA is now a veteran of comfortable trans-Atlantic passages and cruises on both shores, in particular among the windy Caribbean islands, and the delightful fjords and sounds of Baltic Germany and Denmark. Just out of light refit at one of Germany’s best yards NIEBLA is ready for more.

“All in all, sailing NIEBLA left me thinking how I’d love to crack off and run her down the trades to the Caribbean, then laugh with her as she revels in those high seas and hard winds that prowl between the islands.” Tom Cunliffe, Classic Boat magazine, February 2006 “NIEBLA feels like the sort of yacht with which one could build a lasting relationship.” David Glenn, Yachting World review, January 2006 The design brief for NIEBLA would be a tall order for many a designer and yard – in particular to keep it all sweet to the eye. But at Hamble on England’s south coast, Fairlie Restorations had years of shipwrighting and fine carpentry experience in rebuilding Fife designs from the keel up, and a strong desire by Duncan Walker and in-house naval architect Paul Spooner to also build new. Fairlie were not virgins to a modern classic newbuild employing modern wood techniques, having built the Nigel Irens/ Ed Burnett deep-keeled 43 feet 'fusion' cutter KILRUSH NOMAD II in 1997. Interestingly for a team so infused with working to the original William Fife drawings (which they'd owned since the early 1990s), to meet the brief, the inspiration for NIEBLA's hull design came from Fife's great friendly Scottish rival Alfred Mylne. For some strange reason that maybe requires a learned paper to analyse, during the classic yacht revival years, from the early 1980s, Mylne's reputation has somehow slipped into Fife's shadow, yet he was an absolute master in combining beauty with functionality in his work, in particular in creating elegantly big-boned, voluminous for the time yachts that still sparkle in performance. The starting point in NIEBLA's form was the 57 ft Mylne-designed Bermudan cutter CHICANE, built in 1926 by Dickie of Tarbert and long time owned in Bermuda by Reid Kempe and family. For many, CHICANE had become a paragon of classic purposefulness at a very handy size, and NIEBLA’s future owner had fallen for her charms. The result is a fascinating fusion of old and new: the elegance of early 20th Century yacht design married with the ease of handling of modern sail handling systems, and no compromise on the wonderful motion – especially on the ocean winds’ highway – of a long keel and moderate displacement. ©2024 Iain McAllister/ Sandeman Yacht Company Ltd.

Fairlie Yachts’ Classic Luxury Sailing Yacht F110 concept

Written by Eva Belanyiova

Fairlie Yachts , well known for the restoration of the beautiful William Fife III designed Classic Yachts, has created the Fairlie 110 yacht concept, taking advantage of the two decades of restoration skills and extensive knowledge of these fabulous classic vessels. The elegant luxury sailing yacht F110 was conceived by a desire to make Fairlie’s unique quality and knowledge available to a larger group of clients, who appreciate the beauty of classic yacht sailing without the impracticability often associated with the ownership of an original classic.

Fairlie Yachts 110 foot concept

During the career of any yacht designer there will always be a selection of designs that, for one reason or another, never get built. In this, William Fife III was no exception. During his lifetime he proposed well over 100 yachts that suffered this fate; some were simply lines plans, some sail or accommodation plans and a few were fully developed and realised into complete projects.

Fairlie 110 luxury yacht rendering

In the very early 20th Century, William Fife devoted a significant amount of time to developing hull lines for racing under the Universal Rule. Fife’s reasoning behind these hulls is unknown, they may even have been designed with the intention of building an America’s Cup Challenger but, whatever the reason, the result was a set of hull forms that could be built and raced as some of the largest and most striking yachts afloat today. The lines are in Fife’s inimitable style and, when complimented with Fairlie’s singular joinery and finish, result in a yacht that will have, in every way, met with the designer’s intention.

Luxury sailing yacht Fairlie 110

The Fairlie 110 yacht has been developed through Fairlie Yachts’ Design Evolution ethos using one of these ‘work in progress’ designs. Fife’s hull lines and Fairlie’s own vast experience and knowledge of his original yachts means that everything visible above the water will sit perfectly, shoulder to shoulder with so many of his famous yachts still gracing the classic circuit today. However the designs have been adapted to the 21st Century by Fairlie’s in-house design team, deploying the technology and ideas used during the development of Fairlie’s smaller Modern Classic Yachts to be the Flagship of the Fairlie Yachts’ Range.

Niebla is a boat that allows a family cruise on their own or with a crew member that helps them on the daily basis routines on board. Weight was never spared in sacrifice of strength and security, but keeping the boat light so she doesn’t need big winds to enjoy the peace of cruising under sail and being able to do it in hard wind conditions and heavy seas.

Niebla is the result of the fusion between the elegance and the comfort of a classic hull and the performance given by a latest generation rig and sails, that allows you to sail safely, with a reduced crew or with no crew, as she was designed to be sailed single handled. Her hull was built with cold molded wood and epoxy resin, her frames and deck beams were laminated as one only piece, giving her a structural strength beyond the requirements of the loads that she has to withstand and with the 50% of her displacement in the led keel. Together with a carbon fiber rig give her an optimal upright momentum that allows you to trim the sails to give her owner an unprecedented enjoyment with the sailing experience on board this boat. Niebla is perfectly equipped for cruising and sailing even with short crew and is currently undergone a refit for varnish, paint and electronics at Robbe & Berking Classics.

Timmerman Yachts is a Russian builder of quality luxury motor yachts. Based in Moscow, it is owned by a group of Dutch and Russian investors and operates out of Moscow Shipyard. Several noted naval architecture and yacht design firms are involved with Timmerman, including Vripack, Guido de Groot Design, Ginton Naval Architects, Jon Bannenberg Ltd., and Francis Design Ltd.

Founded in 2003, the company was named for 17th century Dutch boat builder Franz Timmerman who brought Dutch boat manufacturing techniques to Russia and co-founded the Russian navy. Timmerman Yachts has more than 1,000 employees working at the Moscow Shipyard.

Timmerman has delivered a number of semi-custom luxury yachts between 26-47 metres in length, including TM26 and Timmerman FD-51, designed by Francis Design Ltd. Other notable Timmerman yachts include Victoria M, Alexandra (now Latitude) and Olsten 125′.

One of the 10 largest yacht builders in the world, Timmerman is focused on building high-quality luxury yachts at more competitive prices. Its Russian-Dutch partnership provides great yacht-building capabilities. Timmerman builds yacht to the highest standards and holds DNV, MCA and Russian River Register certification. The company reportedly has more than a dozen yachts in some phase of construction.
