A short video of the entire build process, from lofting to launch, of the Fairlie 55. It's the culmination of 13 months filming at Fairlie Restorations in Hamble. The time lapse version will follow.
As an old sailor myself, that Fairlie is a gorgeous boat. Her lines are as graceful and classic as one can imagine. The craftsmanship involved in building her gives one a tremendous pride in the art of marine architecture itself. She's of a timeless yacht design...like a Bach composition.
Magnifique, superbe travail de charpenterie, d'ébénisterie comme à l'ancienne pour une unité exceptionnellement belle ! Beautiful, beautiful work of carpentry and cabinet making that perpetuates the tradition for an exceptionally beautiful unit!
What a jaw-dropping absolutely beautiful boat. Congratulations to the skilful constructors, pride is everything and it shows so well in this video. Thank you
Glad I found the original video. Found a guy named TAT Woodworking ripping off this video. Lovely sailboat. I rebuild wood boats and lived aboard for 10 years. Makes me homesick!!!! Sails like dream!!!!
Now I have witnessed the finest craft ever to be constructed and the passion it induces for the lovers of the sea and their boats. Someone please take the Helm until my tears of joy diminish enough for me to see where I am going.
This is not a boat...this is a work of art,built with love. The only reason I can think of why 31 people disliked the video is that there wasn't more of it😉

I thought I would step back a little and look at a much bigger picture in English history. About 4 1/2 centuries ago off this coast of England the Spanish Armada was fought. It wasn't just the British Navy fighting Spain's massive number of ships. It was the weather. A huge storm also defeated the Spanish Navy. England was building some of the best ships in the world then. Shipwrights of the day have passed on all of that experience for a dozen generations. And here they are, still in Southampton, almost 500 years later. When I watch this video I saw exactly what I expected to see. Old world craftsmanship at it's best. It was the most beautiful thing to watch when this boat was set in the water and raised full sail. - Mike Mather USMC retired, California. PS - My family, in 1635, walked from Lancashire to Bristol with all of their worldly possessions. Reverend Richard Mather came with 100 of his church members and boarded a ship bound for Boston.
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen... The love and heart each of your team members has put into this is amazing. Thank you for sharing such a craft that will never be old, and always admired.
I had the pleasure, many years ago, of being escorted through a custom yacht building factory in central Wisconsin by the owner of the factory. At the time they were building a wooden sailing yacht of approx. 60 ft. length and about half completed. They also had a 1/4 replica of one of the pilgrims ships under construction. Imagine your BEST basement wood working project. Now imagine that same project 58 times larger and with NO errors, anywhere. Imagine problem solving and ingenuity at the space program level. Imagine fifty people applying their infinite skills to the most minute of details. Imagine working with every wood and metal working hand and power tool ever made. Imagine working with truck loads of the finest examples of exotic woods, some costing $100 dollars per foot. Imagine installing state of the art mechanicals, each costing thousands of dollars. Imagine working with a laser to .001 of an inch on vast areas of rare teak and hard woods. Custom yacht builders are truly artists. Unlike Leonardo's singular efforts, each artist-craftsman on a yacht must seamlessly blend his efforts to meet the exacting marine arch. drawings and the other artists-craftsman working around him. Each ship takes about 2 to 3 years to complete, requiring thousands and thousands of man hours of the most skilled labor on wood,steel,aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, paint, stain and varnish, leather upholstery, electricity and electronics, diesel and gas engines, sails,navigation equipment, weight and balance and the making of a precisely designed and installed lead keel weighing many tons. Each craftsperson must complete their work as if their job depended on perfect final results, because it does. The builder and architect and the ships eventual owner make constant inspections of all projects while underway. No part or procedure however remote or small escapes constant inspection. Only the building of a jet passenger plane requires more people with more skills, but much of the aircraft work is done by machine and less actually by hand.
OMG, I think I'm in love! Best sailboat videos ever. From the laying of the keel and that three layers of laminate wood hull to the hoisting of the spinnaker.
It brought tears to my eyes, it's that good. Great design, great boat, great builders, great footage, great care to detail and attention to even the pieces that are not ever to be seen. There are very very very few things like that anymore. Thank you for posting.
Absolutely stunning boat. The old school craftsmanship that went into building a modern boat, was amazing. Hats off to all who had a hand on bringing this beautiful sailboat to life.
They have done a wonderful job of combining the preservation of traditional design and elegance with more modern improvements in building and technology.
Wow, this build looks incredible. Looks like she sails amazing too. really impressed. I wish all boats were made with such focus on quality, it makes all the difference.
My, that's a lot of sanding! What a beautiful hull shape, very traditional above the waterline but modern below. No doubt she's very fast under sail. A well built and designed boat is a delight to the eye and the mere sight of her sailing by feeds the soul.
In my opinion, simply beautiful and pure craftsmanship. We mortals marvel of art work in wood. It is a work of art that is practical ... it is a piece of art that you can use and enjoy. We mortals have to settle for seeing the beauty from the stands. Thanks for sharing the video. Henry
About as classic and beautiful as you can get! I was sad to see all that beautiful wood on the hull get painted over, but I suppose with all the layers of fiberglass you wouldn't be able to see it any way. Truly built by craftsmen and artists and people who love what they do.
This is the most gorgeous piece of artwork I have ever scene. Modern boats look like floating portapotties by comparison. AND THE CRAFTSMANSHIP!!!! such attention to detail and beauty. And then to watch her sail. Simply the best video on TH-cam. And the most beautiful boat I have ever scene.
Jaw dropplingly beautiful!! Stunning in every way. The video work and editing was also extremely good! Its great that there are people that have both incredible taste in fine yachts and the money to have them built!!
that video took me alway from my boring life for a few minutes... taking me where I would like to be\to have.... gorgeous boat, made by devoted people, aiming for perfection... That is a fine piece of art.... Congratulations to all that have contributed for that... be proud !!!
Beautiful, breathtaking build and boat. You people are master craftsmen and I would like to thank you for keeping the nearly lost art of building a wooden sailboat by hand alive....just beautiful...gonna watch it again now....
Прекрасная яхта, завораживающая работа и классное видео. Посмотрев его вспомнил молодость, когда сам построил яхту 10.0 метров. Это были лучшие годы в жизни.
What a beautiful boat. A credit to the designer, but what an absolute credit to the craftsmen involved in building her. Such a treat to see these skills in action.
This video just brings it all home, the craftsmanship, the dedication, the pure quality in these people and companies. The boat itself is a true thing of beauty, a thoroughbred, made by magnificent, dedicated workmanship.I bet with good care she will still be sailing in a Hunderd Years.Fantastic, make more videos.
WOW!!! A True Masterpiece. Michelangelo eat your heart out. Thank you so very much. It’s the best I have ever seen and probably will see for a very, very long time. How would you dare to dock such a beauty? MAGNIFICENT.
Superb video. Great watching skilled craftsmen at work. The pride and skill the staff have are evident in the finished yacht. You could see it on their faces at the boat launching. Britain has always had great craftsmen but in this age of mass production it is not often seen.
WOW! Just an amazing video and craftsmanship. I almost didn't want to see it go in the water, such a beautiful boat. She looks like an amazing boat to sail on though. Great job!
I recently got cast to play a master yacht builder in an original musical set in Naragansett. I was researching my character and got curious as to what exactly is involved in building these things! Found this in my algorhithm and I'm so impressed by the work involved!! Well done, gents!💪 She's gorgeous!
God! it's not just a boat, it's a work of art! I never cease to wonder what masterpieces are able to make human hands, my deepest respect for these people! P.S Greetings to you from Russia!
Very nice video and a beautiful yacht! It is really good to see that there a still proper yachts being built out there using traditional techniques, not just the "floating yoghurt pots". A yacht like that must be a dream to design, build and sail.... My dream anyway :D
beautiful and sturdy construction - the shell has 2 main layers of wood and marine grade paint to finish it up. It is an astounding jobs. I must prefer this boat over the fiberglass.
Шикарная яхта с благородными обводами под старину. Реечная обшивка, если не ошибаюсь, из красного дерева, говорит об огромной цене. Парусность большая, в сочетании с довольно узким корпусом, обещает отличную скорость. О такой яхте можно только мечтать. Видеоролик отличный.

You guys make it look easy, the sure sign of professionals. Beautiful
It looks like a lovely boat, but it wont come cheap
There is only one word to describe a boat like that...SEXY!
The amount craftmenship that goes into that build is mind boggling!
Nice to see this craftsmanship still exists. Very nice attention to details throughout construction.
Go Flying chalet

Beautiful example of classic construction using modern methods but traditional skills. The result -- perfection.
The artistry, craftsmanship....The mouth watering aspects of detail. To know that this still exists though out of the relm of most bank accounts.

They have done a wonderful job of combining the preservation of traditional design and elegance with more modern improvements in building and technology.
My mind is absolutely blown by every single person that played a part in making this boat. Wow. Well done, absolutely amazing!

Wow... what a beautiful beautiful boat. I agree. Truly a work of art by good old fashion artisans! Awesome!
My, that's a lot of sanding! What a beautiful hull shape, very traditional above the waterline but modern below. No doubt she's very fast under sail. A well built and designed boat is a delight to the eye and the mere sight of her sailing by feeds the soul.
Amazing the skill and accuracy of the boat builders , what a beautiful yacht !!!

Wow...this the most beautiful hand made sail boat from wood and amazing people’s who build it. Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Beautiful artwork.
Incredible!. Recently I read "The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction". Now I see all of their recipes applied here masterfully.
WOW! Just an amazing video and craftsmanship. I almost didn't want to see it go in the water, such a beautiful boat. She looks like an amazing boat to sail on though. Great job!
