LULWORTH Hakvoort | From EUR€ 54,000 /wk

Sailing yacht LULWORTH is a classic sailing yacht from 1920 that measures 46m30 (151'10ft). She can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and offers the rare opportunity to experience classic grandeur and class.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~One of the greatest classic yacht reconstructions of the past century ~Beautifully restored ~Superb interior spaces with original fittings and furniture ~Vast decks ~Tender & Towable toys available

LULWORTH has a beautifully restored mahogany interior. For sail lovers, a true emotion will surely arise by stepping on board this Lady full of history, knowing that in the 1920's she competed against the King's yacht BRITANNIA in the Big Class regattas, and even beat SHAMROCK V on four occasions during her final racing season in 1930.

A genuine restoration started in the Classic Darsena Shipyard nearby Viareggio. The yard was established to rebuild the 1939 Feadship IDUNA and its success lead to the new project with LULWORTH. The works started in July 2001; a complete restoration to the original state, using traditional methods. The yacht is a composite of wood and steel. Half the steel frames were restorable, 60 percent of the stingers, over half the floor plates, 70 percent of the interior was saved. Even Honduras mahogany of 14 meters was found for the hull!

Incredible know-how and attention has been dedicated to this superb Classic gaff-rigged super yacht that was relaunched in February 2006.

Her deck, where it is possible to enjoy Al fresco dining, is of course THE place to experience the thrill and delights of sailing such a beauty, feel her speed and power.

Morgan Round the Island Race, Skandia Cowes Week, Cork Week, the British Classic Yacht Regatta and Falmouth Week. Lulworth, had last sailed in England in 1930.

Lulworth back after 70 years

• May 9, 2006

Successful completion of the most authentic restoration ever 9/5/06

The world’s largest gaff-rigged superyacht is back in the water after an absence of 70 years. Restored in a five-year project costing an estimated ?15 million, the 46.50m (152ft 6in) Lulworth was re-launched in La Spezia, Italy.

Built in England in 1920, Lulworth was one of the most successful Big Class cutters ever. Now, with over half of her original structure and 80 per cent of her original interior intact, she has been hailed as the restoration of the century. A brand-new website detailing the entire project will be launched at the end of May on www.sylulworth.com.

The spectators were next treated to the sight of Lulworth being reversed onto a giant 43 x 18m raft. Water was pumped in and out of this hollow pontoon to keep Lulworth and her cradle at a constant angle. Once secured, the 52m main mast – the largest wooden spar in the world – was successfully craned and onboard to tower above Lulworth’s superlative teak deck. With the 9.50m bowsprit and preliminary rigging in place, the pontoon and yacht were towed to La Spezia.

The launch took place at the Arsenale Militare Marittimo, making Lulworth the first foreign-flagged vessel to enter this top-secret stretch of Italian coastline since 1850. As she entered this high-security naval complex, the crews of the submarines and battleships downed tools in awe. Lulworth was placed in a huge dry dock, which measures 200 x 50m and has a depth of 18m.

The dock was drained and the pontoon filled with water to weight it to the floor. As 225,000m of water were pumped back into the basin over eight hours, divers released Lulworth from the blocks and cradle: It was the first time that the queen of cutters had floated unaided for seven decades.

Sea trials are currently being held off the Italian coastline as the crew learn to get the most out of Lulworth’s total sail area of 1450m. Early performance indicators are promising: In 18 knots of wind, Lulworth has already reached 15.5 knots (digitally recorded) while towing a 4.5m tender. After a VIP guest appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, Lulworth will make her racing debut at the Argentario Sailing Week in June. She will also take part in the Imperia, Cannes and St Tropez regattas.
