Lucky that's what happen when you break the only rule I keep with my boats. NEVER go back on a boat that you have sold, it's always deception as it's not like you want/or see it. I did this mistake once, and now even when I am invited on one of my old boat I decline, it always open a old scar.

i design by carving half models, in 1985 as part of my thousand hull study,in a few weeks i carved /designed 60 boats to scale, usually quarter or three eighths of an inch to the foot, smacks, cutters, ketches, yachts, trawlers, tugs, cobles, barges,schooners ,coasters etc i was trying to teach myself design, some days i would carve 2 models, then i didnt carve for a while, but i cant tell you where the centre of gravity is, or the stability calculations, or the displacement

Yeah it kinda sucks, but it appears Mr. Radclyffe has plenty more where that came from.

[L.W. Baxter]

Good find, Paul. That was/is a fantastic read.

[peter radclyffe]

i was surprised to see latifa at marciana on the island last year, for european vintage boat folks, she holds a special place in history, i had a chat with mario pirlo her ownebr />

[Paul Pless]

Now That!!!is a beautiful boat!!!

[peter radclyffe]

Fife went on designing and building yachts well into his seventies. In 1935, aged 78, he designed one of his most admired ocean racing yachts, Latifa. She was one of his all-time favourites and, when he died in 1944, his sisters had a gilded model made of her. The real Latifa is still sailing in the Mediterranean, and the model is still on top of the spire of Fairlie Parish Church. Fife's grave is in the Largs cemetery, overlooking the waters where his beautiful designs made their mark.
