Before installing an interior, I sanded and re-varnished the entire hull interior from stem to stern. I applied "Four coats best yacht varnish" per Fife's original specifications. Sanded, looking aft. Every day, all day. Looking forward, looking good. Cabin top Mahogany planks on Oak and Rock Elm frames. Forward Forward Looking aft, rudder housing.
Sulaire is an International 8 meter racing yacht. Designed by William Fife III and built in the Fife yard in Fairlie, Scotland in 1929. At 47 feet LOA with a beam of 8'8" and over 1000 square feet of sail area she is a magnificent sailling machine. Sulaire will soon be looking for a new home in the racing community.
As Sulaire goes through a major restoration this blog is coming together as well. We'll be posting notes on her history and on the progress being made. Comments and questions for Bill are most welcome at Sulaire8m@gmail.com
