The definition of a “classic yacht” is a fairly
elastic one. Few would argue that a J-class from the 1920s
is a classic yacht. What about a James Silver “gentlemans
motor yacht” from the late 1940s, or Laurent Giles’
beautiful Nicholson-built “Lutine” from 1952?
Is however a Rustler 36 (which could be built in 2010) a classic
yacht? It certainly derives it’s pedigree and hull form
from the 1942 Folkboat, which general form Kim Holman enlarged
and progressively reworked into the Stella, Twister and then
the Rustler 31 and 36.
So if a 2010 Rustler 36 can be a classic yacht, can a 1971
Contessa 32? Some would say no, as this has a separate keel
and skeg/rudder, instead of a traditional long keel. Yet separate
keels and rudders were already well known well over a hundred
years ago, Herreshoff having started to build such designs
in the early 1890s. And if a 1971 Contessa 32 can be a classic
design, why not a shiny new-built 2010 one from Jeremy Rogers.
There are also yachts that started life as working boats,
whether pilot cutters, fishing boats or the Colin Archer sailing
lifeboats? Many such boats are still sailing at over 100 years
old, though now used purely as yachts. Others were built as
yachts by the same yards that built working versions, such
as the Miller Fifers, or the Falmouth Working Boats, which
you can still have built now either as a yacht or a working
oyster dredger.
Finally, there are the modern yachts which are consciously
“retro” - the Spirits, Morris’ and other
beautiful yachts in modern materials.
We believe in a fairly flexible definition of the term classic
yacht, in much the same way that some quite modern cars, and
cars that were quite commonplace in their day, can now be
called classic cars. We are happy for a classic yacht to be
built of any material, as long as she is beautiful in her
own way, and suited to her purpose, be it cruising or racing. |
