The “Spirit of Tradition” class of sailing yachts are a fusion of modern day performance with the elegance of a bygone era. The popularity of such yachts is testament to the unrelenting appetite for yachting’s golden days, whilst incorporating luxury and performance that would have never been possible in these early days of yachting.
