The Fairlie 77 is a new build William Fife inspired cruising yacht. Designed by Paul Spooner of P. S. Design Ltd. and she is at home cruising extended oceans as she is competing in the many fine regattas of today.
As per her 55ft. little sister ship; the traditional styling, use of materials and high quality finish is exceptional. Which of course are the qualities Fairlie Yachts have become famous worldwide.
The yacht is offered with two sail plans; for cruising a cutter headed yawl for ease of sail handling and a truly elegant cruising rig. Alternatively, a more typical sloop rig with a hugely powerful fore triangle and mainsail – ideal for regattas and fast cruising.
With either sail plan the underwater hull form, keel and rudder will ensure she is an extremely fast and handling is as concise as the already proven Fairlie 55.

In addition to the choice of sail plans the yacht can be configured with two interior layouts.
