Mariquita
Mariquita, she is a gaff cutter designed by William Fife Ill and built on the Clyde in Scotland in 1911.
One of the precursor to the J-Class's.
Mariquita is one of the most iconic classic sailing yachts on the water to-day. Designed and built by William Fife III, she was launched in May 1911.
Following three successful racing seasons, Mariquita was taken to Norway, where she spent the war years. On return to the UK, she was decommis-sioned and turned into a houseboat. She remained this way until the mid-1990s, when her restoration by Fairlie Restorations began.
After careful dismantling and restoration, Mariquita’s owner and guest accommodation remains virtually unchanged from when she was first built, with the exception of the addition of modern services and some enhancements. Her racing pedigree is long and illustrious, with the pinnacle of her recent racing career being winning the Big Boat Panerai Trophy in 2014.
