Classic yachts have a unique feel and sea-keeping qualities that provide a comfortable safe ride, without the slamming of modern flat sectioned, fin keeled yachts, ideally suited to open water and passage sailing. A number of classic designs have been produced using GRP and even metal construction and while this reduces maintenance, the weight ratio is significantly altered, resulting in totally different handling qualities compared to their original, traditional timber constructed, counterparts. Owning an original classic yacht is mostly confined to enthusiasts where the expense of professional work can be afforded or the perceived "black arts" and time consuming maintenance of traditional boats, daunting to many, is not a chore. A sector of the boat owning world which excludes many yachtsmen from the pleasure of owning one of these truly classic yacht designs. Revival Classics can recreate these classic yachts from the drawing boards of respected designers of the past, using modern techniques and woodworking methods to produce low maintenance yachts of similar weight ratio to the original design, affording the unique feel of their predecessors for the yachtsman of today.
