Sulaire, Some History

Sulaire was designed and built by William Fife III for John and Robert Aspin of Glasgow whose letterhead reads "Paint manufacturers to the Admiralty" . She was launched in 1929 and spent only a couple of years racing in Scotland before she came to the US.
 

She's had many owners many names; Decima, Marbette, Wild Goose, Polho, Trouble and maybe others.  Sulaire (Her original name) now resides in the Pacific Northwest where Bill Ford has owned and maintained her since 1985. Her restoration is now complete.

Bill, experienced in boat repair, planking, all aspects of woodworking, welding and now casting bronze, did the restoration himself. 
 

When she came to the United States in 1932 she sailed and raced in Marblehead.  Here she is in a Morris Rosenfeld photo from that time.
