Spirit Yachts is globally recognised for its modern classic yacht design and has built a reputation for timeless style complemented by quality and performance. The ingenuity of a Spirit is the combination of old and new; classic design incorporated with the latest modern technology.
Spirit Yachts CEO and head designer, Sean McMillan, has pioneered the design and build of modern classic yachts using wood epoxy construction. Spirit’s iconic long overhangs, low freeboards, and swept teak decks are at the forefront of the modern classic industry. At Spirit, sophisticated, timeless design comes with the finest quality wood and craftsmanship. Built by hand, Spirit’s yachts incorporate a range of different timbers; from mahogany to Douglas fir, teak and Brazilian sapele.
All Spirits are eligible to race in the Spirit of Tradition class at classic regattas worldwide and many owners compete annually with extremely successful results. The criteria for the Spirit of Tradition class require yachts to be designed with a classical look and be built using modern techniques and materials. Spirit of Tradition yachts must also demonstrate excellent craftsmanship on deck and in the hull, however they may have modern underbodies and appendages and use the latest technology in their rigs.
