Re: Wooden Boatbuildebr />
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.Comment
