The ‘Fairies’

A class of vessel, renowned across the sailing world for their beauty, speed and elegance. After almost 120 years the fleet shows no sign of losing its place as one of the finest examples of Edwardian yachting design.

Preservation

Every Fairy has had, or will require a total restoration or rebuild at some point in their century of sailing. Some of these projects can be viewed here.

About Us

We are a private, non-profit venture, administered by the owners and sailors of the Fairy class. Our main hope is to raise awareness and preserve this crucial piece of sailing history!
