Worth knowing
Clyde Classics Ltd.; cover, cost and conditions
Clyde Classics Ltd. appears in our records as a British builder of traditional sailing yachts. We have no verified source on its yard or history, yet the names leave little doubt about where the boats belong: the Clyde is Glasgow's river, Cumbrae an island in the Firth of Clyde, Tarbert a Scottish harbour town, Caledonia the Latin name for Scotland, and the North Channel the strait between Scotland and Northern Ireland. The range reads like a catalogue of traditional types, with cutters, a yawl and two designs named after classic racing classes, the Clyde 6 Rater and the Clyde 8 Metre.
Our model records list ten Clyde Classics designs, eight sailing yachts and two smaller sailboats, all recorded from 1993 to 2000. The range falls into two parallel sets of three: the Cumbrae 25, 30 and 33 and the North Channel Cutter 25, 30 and 33, each pair at almost the same length of 7.49 metres, about 9 metres and 10 metres. They are joined by the Tarbert Yawl 34 at 10.3 metres, the Clyde 6 Rater at 8.68 metres, the Clyde 8 Metre at 11 metres and the Caledonia 39, the longest at 12 metres. Numbers in the names are close to the length in feet.
Every boat in the range is now at least a quarter of a century old, so rig, sails and fittings tell most of the story when one comes up for sale. Traditional yachts reward owners who keep up with varnish, standing rigging checks and sail care. The two 25 footers are small enough to bring ashore on a trailer, while the larger yachts are mooring and marina boats for coastal cruising.
