The 41metre classic Fife schooner Altair has proved she is still a force to be reckoned with on the classic yacht racing circuit. Despite having not raced for 2 years and dashing back from her extended summer cruise in Greece and Croatia, the yacht put in a very solid performance at this year’s Les Voiles de St Tropez regatta, scoring two second places a first and a third.
It’s testament to her versatility that she can comfortably undertake extended cruising all summer, spending the majority of this time at anchor, return for a quick yard stop to complete a Lloyds class survey and immediately sail to St Tropez and achieve 2nd in class.
