Buyer's guide: Everything you need to know before buying a classic yacht
Thinking of buying a classic yacht ? Sam Fortescue talks to experienced owners to find out out everything you need to know about owning a classic, from how much it costs to the importance of refits ...
There is something almost ethereal about the sight of a yacht from another era. You’ll know exactly what I mean if you’ve ever been passed by a tall ship under a press of sail or watched entranced as dozens of wooden Metre boats spar gracefully around a Baltic racecourse. With their long overhangs, elaborate rigs and gleaming brightwork, they are travellers in time, infusing their surroundings with the patina of the past.
It is an illusion, of course. Get a little closer, and you can see the deck hands wearing modern clothing, or hear the race crew yelling urgently about pressure and counting down to the lift before bellowing “send it!”, just like their counterparts on modern yachts. They may hide it artfully behind fin-de-siecle panelling, but these boats often pack many mod cons, from flat-screen televisions to air conditioning. And yet there is something that sets them, and their owners, apart.
One of the best-known classic yacht brokers, Barney Sandeman, describes it like this. “There are a lot of people who would like to own a classic but it’s a very special person that will commit. They are very passionate people who are careful what they do with their money, but owning a classic is not something they have suddenly decided to do. It’s in their DNA. It’s a love affair, something they can’t do anything about.”
How much does a classic superyacht cost?
Let’s tackle that point about money head on. There is a sense that classic yachts are more costly to take on than their modern counterparts. Not so, says Ed Kane, owner of the exquisitely restored Sparkman & Stephens yawl Bolero among others. “The normal maintenance and wear and tear is like on any other new boat,” he says. “It’s not inexpensive, but not out of line with a new 73-footer [22-metre]. Dockage and crew are the biggest costs, and that is the same regardless of the age of the boat.”
The nature of that maintenance might be a little different, however. Or as Daniele Canelli, owner of the stately 26-metre gaff ketch Javelin explains it: “They do not need more maintenance, only more love.” Instead of technical prowess with hydraulics, load cells and an arsenal of toys, there is instead acres of varnishing.
“It’s so much work that you can’t do it yourself,” says Wilfried Beeck, who owns two towering 12-Metres - Trivia , designed and built by Camper & Nicholson in 1937, and the gaff- rigged Cintra , a 1909 Fife. “I have a full-time employee who does nothing else, but we share him across our two 12s. When you see little damages, you sand and varnish it during the season. Every little cut is always varnished immediately. It is constant maintenance.”
Both boats were acquired in the Med and brought back to the Baltic, where a vigorous 12-M racing circuit has developed. Beeck says that the difference in maintenance requirements is stark. “Two seasons in the Med, and you realise that you have to varnish the boat three times a year, as opposed to once a year in the Baltic.”
To buy a classic 12-Metre (which will in fact measure between 14 metres and 22 metres overall), you’d be looking at anything from £900,000 to £2.25 million, depending on the condition and pedigree of the boat. Beeck spends about £90,000 per year on each boat, including everything from mooring to insurance and repairs.
Charter income covers half of that, but some spend twice as much. “The maintenance cost of the boat is much lower than many people think. You need a boatbuilder working on it constantly, but when you do, the cost is low. If you neglect the boat for three or four seasons, the cost can be huge.”
What do I need to consider when refitting a classic yacht?
Neglect in the classic boat world is part of the landscape. It is at once a threat and an opportunity, both endangering the survival of these beautiful boats and providing the raw material needed to transform them into head- turners and jaw-droppers. The sense of preserving a small but important, beautiful fragment of history is what drives some of the today’s keenest owners.
“We’re all keeping these things alive for the sake of history,” says Cameron Ridell, co-owner of Eros , a fine example of a staysail schooner built in 1939. “These classics are floating museums, but they are also operational. It’s a strange way to treat something that should be in a museum: take it out and beat it!”
Ed Kane, owner of 22-metre Bolero , believes that what he calls the “provenance” of the yacht is key to engaging with a restoration. “We spent as much time learning about the history and the ownership - its race record, where it sailed, its reputation - as you do studying the actual boat itself.”
In contrast to maintenance, restoration can be ruinously expensive, so an exhaustive survey is critical to understanding what you’re taking on. The work itself is a slow, precise process where traditional woodworking skills and an experienced eye are key attributes. Some owners insist there is a place for modern techniques such as laser measurement and epoxy sheathing, but if the aim is simply to build a modern boat that looks like a classic, it is better to start from scratch elsewhere.
Tara Getty is in the final throes of restoring his fourth yacht – an S&S yawl called Baruna which belongs to the same design family as Bolero , and he takes comfort in a degree of wonkiness. At one point, his skipper and project manager Tony Morse rang him from Robbe & Berking’s yard in Flensburg, Germany, with the news that the new stainless-steel water tanks they’d bought fitted on the starboard side, but not on port. “That’s good news in a way, because it means it is still the Baruna it’s meant to be,” says Getty. “It’s most definitely skew!”
Besides the basic fabric of the boat herself, there is a challenge in finding correct or appropriate deck fittings and equipment. Unsympathetic refits or desperate patch-ups can make it hard to identify what is an original part. “You need to be very careful not to detract from a classic,” says Getty. “We found one original cleat, so we’re having it recast. We also found the clock and barometer, but it took us a while to verify that they were the originals. We had to check against the pictures in the archive at the Mystic Seaport [museum].”
Restorations can yield up some glorious nuggets, like time capsules from the past. Getty recounts how they had to remove tonnes of concrete from the bilges of his yacht Bluebird when she was brought back to life. Using pneumatic drills, they were stunned as they began to uncover the metal forms of the original deckhouse windows. Naturally, they cleaned them and returned them to their rightful place.
And when Daniele Canelli rescued Javelin , a process that required 57,000 working hours, they found more hidden treasure. The refit was extraordinarily detailed, touching every part of the boat’s fabric and interior, from the oak frames to the fireplace and the bathtub in the master cabin. And when they removed the mainmast, there it was: a silver shilling coined in 1884, wedged into the oak step for good luck.
It was eventually replaced under the new mast. He compares the process to that of philology “You must be prepared to take all the actions necessary to give a new life to a literary work, respecting the work and the intent of the author. There is nothing worse than a boat refitted by someone who does not respect her spirit.”
There are other surprises. As word gets around about the rescue of a yacht, people emerge with tales, documents and sometimes even whole fittings. “We’re getting lots of information from people who knew Baruna ,” says Getty. Far from looking down their noses at a restoration and critiquing every detail, the classic boat fraternity has been helpful, says Kane. “People give me magazine articles, things that say ‘ Bolero ’, or used to be on the boat. I even have some leather-bound scrapbooks that people have collected.”
What is the difference between a restoration yacht and a replica?
One of the most vexed questions relating to the rebirth of a wooden boat is whether it can remain “original” after everything has been replaced. “We say a boat is a restoration, not a replica, if during the entire time of construction you can recognise the hull shape,” explains Bolero owner Ed Kane. Despite his boat being completely taken apart for restoration, she has retained the original deck furniture, doghouse, keel, some planking and most of the interior.
At the other end of the scale, the recently relaunched 12-M Jenetta has just one small piece of original woodwork left, scarphed into a deck beam. Oh, and 17 tonnes of lead in the keel. Oliver Berking, who runs the Robbe & Berking shipyard where she was rebuilt, likes to say that she is 63 per cent original by weight. And yet the International Twelve Metre Association has accepted her as an original, allowing her to race in the classic classes. The main thing is to save the boat, as Tara Getty says: “As long as you can stop her from going to the knacker’s yard, then I’ve got no problem with that. It doesn’t have to be a perfect restoration.”
Why should I buy a classic yacht?
When you take on the ownership of a classic yacht , you are making yourself a public figure. That’s because people don’t just stand and admire these yachts as they screech round the mark or slide into their berth; they want to come and talk to the crew, the owner and admire the details. They galvanise people around them.
“When I go into a yacht club, and people know that I own Bolero , I never have to buy my own drink,” laughs Kane. “I’ve probably saved enough on drinks to buy another boat!” He has been invited to join eight clubs around the world, all keen to have Bolero on the membership list.
Classic boats are a natural conversation starting point for many. “One of the most fun parts of all this is the people we meet in all sorts of wonderful places,” says Cameron Riddell, co-owner of Eros . “The locals come to the boat because it’s big and beautiful, and they turn out to be really interesting themselves. The human contact is one of the most rewarding parts of the classic yachting scene.”
In a different way, Wilfried Beeck would agree. His 12-M Trivia was and still is a mean, lean racing boat of astonishing beauty. He always wanted nothing more than to campaign her, and his first challenge was to find the crew of 16 people necessary to do so. “You learn quickly that you can’t win in the first season. Building the crew is the bigger concern, not so much the maintenance of the boat.” After that, you have to find your place in the crew. He was always keen to helm, but not all owners do. One of the joys, he says, is the immediate, honest feedback you can get from a crew. “Most of us would love to have that in our own companies.”
He also warns that you will eventually have a collision if you’re too aggressive at the starting line. Fortunately the shape of a 12-M means that damage is rare, but it can still be dangerous. “Pro crew from more modern boats will produce crashes because they’re used to boats that turn more quickly and are more manoeuvrable. They sometimes underestimate how long it takes to turn 30 tonnes around. You have to prepare in advance.”
In most cases, the specifics of manoeuvring and trimming a rig that was designed 80-plus years ago are enjoyable. Owners appreciate the peculiarities which have to be mastered. Eros , for instance, has a large rectangular “fisherman” sail strung between her two masts, clewed down to the boom. “She doesn’t look right without the fisherman, but we only use it for racing because it takes a team of eight people to get it up,” says Riddell. “We keep one on each side because you have to take it down on one side and raise it on the other every time you tack or gybe. The manoeuvre can take between five and 10 minutes.”
If you have reached the end of this piece with the sense that you are not alone, or with a nagging memory of a classic boat that you saw as a child, then beware: you could well be a future owner . And, if Barney Sandeman is right, you have little choice in the matter. “I sometimes feel I’ve got an orphanage and I’m getting the children out to the right families,” he explains. “To a degree, these boats pick their owners.”

RELATED: Ranking The Greatest Classic American Personal Luxury Cars On The Used Market
Many of these vehicles come at excessive prices, however. Luckily, some models have deprecated, so for example, you can now easily find some of the most luxurious and most beautiful Cadillacs at an affordable price . While new models such as the latest iteration of the Rolls Royce Phantom will cost the same as an entire car collection , here are 10 timeless classics that are just as comfortable and luxurious but complete bargains.
10 1982 Bentley Mulsanne ($9,900)
The Americans may be kings of the long, luxurious vehicles, but the Europeans also have a few models to boast about. Especially German models, such as the Bentley Mulsanne.
The model was introduced in 1980 as a performance luxury car, but the price has remained rather affordable despite all the luxury included. The name Mulsanne is vastly inscribed into the Bentley motorsports history, with the five victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. But luxury and heritage isn't all the Bentley Mulsanne offers as there's also quite a lot of performance coming from its 6.75-liter V8 engine that produces a massive 260 hp.
9 1969 Pontiac Bonneville ($6,000)
The first Pontiac Bonneville rolled off the production line in 1958 and in the next 30 years stood as the top-notch luxury model of the Pontiac brand. The fourth generation of the Pontiac Bonneville was introduced in 1965 and is now one of the most affordable Bonnevilles on the used market.
Style, luxury, and overall enjoyment remained, adding to it the slanted dashboard and wooden interior. The exterior also saw some major adjustments, such as the removal of side creases and widening of the taillights. This classic beauty comes with the powerful 7.0-liter V8 engine rated at 360 hp.
8 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special ($15,400)
The Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special stands as one of Cadillac's most luxurious vehicles ever. The full-size luxury car introduces some styling changes for the 1969 model year, such as the headrests on front seats. The extended wheelbase offered a lot more room, while the exterior changes included dual headlights and no more vent wings on the front doors.
With the 7.7-liter V8 powerplant rated at 375 hp, this black beauty is a special gem in history and one of the most popular Cadillac classics ever built, so it's surprising that pristine-condition models go for such low prices.
7 1959 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Coupé Convertible ($14,700)
Once the flagship model of the Oldsmobile brand, the Oldsmobile 98 and the first vehicle under the 98 name was produced in 1941. Rendered as the top line model, the Oldsmobile 98 featured advanced technologies right from the start, and the 1959 model is no exception.
Powered by the 6.5-liter Rocket V8 engine that produces 315 hp, the 2-door coupe convertible is the right choice for a daily driver and with the luxury and reliability this land-yachts offer, every classic car lover is in for a treat.
6 1972 Buick Riviera ($17,900)
Not many classics can compete with the style, beauty, and drivability of the 1972 Buick Riviera. It's among several iconic classic land yachts of its era but stands out for its sheer design excellence.
The boat-tail is there to make you fall in love with the entire car, while the luxurious interior and powerful engine are there to make your driving experience feel out of this world. The powerplant is a 7.5-liter V8 down-tuned to 255 hp due to EPA emissions requirements. Some of the advanced features for this model year include power-boosted disc brakes, a power steering system, and even remote-controlled mirrors, all helping to better up the driving experience.

5 1961 Lincoln Continental ($18,800)
Often rendered as the greatest mafia car of all time, the Lincoln Continental breeds luxury throughout ten generations. The first-ever Lincoln Continental rolled off the production line in 1940, but the model is still in production, with the latest version of the Lincoln Continental rolling out last year featuring suicide doors .
The 1961 Lincoln Continental was ahead of its time with its design, style, and luxury, which include the “suicide” rear-hinged rear doors, among other perks. It was powered by the 7.0-liter V8 engine, churning out an impressive 300 hp, making it a perfect classic cruiser.
4 1956 DeSoto Fireflite ($18,100)
DeSoto was in existence from 1928 until 1961 under the Chrysler brand and had a few models that turned heads in its 33 years of operating. One of these models is the top-of-the-line DeSoto Fireflite, which was in production from 1955 and 1960.
It is best remembered for the long, tapering tail fins, which are the first thing anyone will notice on this beauty as they come in a two-toned exterior finish. The DeSoto Fireflite was powered by a 5.4-liter V8 engine that developed 255 hp, able to launch the Fireflite to a top speed of 110 mph.
3 1959 Buick Electra 225 ($9,600)
The Buick Electra 225 was first introduced in 1959 as a renamed Buick Roadmaster and was in production all the way until 1990. Offered as the top-notch Buick Electra 225 was the most luxurious model of the Buick line, and the unique rear delta fins will make you fall in love with the car. Don't let the two doors fool you, as the "225" in the model's name represents the length of the car in inches.
The powerplant of this beauty was the standard 6.6-liter V8 rated at 325 hp and mated to 2-speed Dynaflow automatic. With power steering and power brakes, the Buick Electra 225 is one of the classic cruisers to own.
2 1966 Imperial LeBaron ($11,100)
The first automobile under the Imperial nameplate appeared in 1926 as Chrysler's luxury model. However, in 1955, the Imperial became a separate company and operated until 1983. Nevertheless, the Imperial has birthed a number of luxurious models, including the Imperial LeBaron.
The Imperial LeBaron rolled off the production line with the 7.2-liter V8 engine, generating 350 hp, and among America's finest cars of the era thanks to the contemporary look and the luxurious interior, glowing with leather and wood.

1 1984 Rolls Royce Silver Spur ($16,500)
Nowadays, it is hard to find an affordable Rolls Royce, but some models, such as the 1984 Silver Spur can be bought at a rather cheap price. With its long wheelbase, a beautiful rounded design (the work of Austrian stylist Fritz Feller), and a luxurious interior, it represents one of the most marvelous models of this British car manufacturer.
It's powered by a 6.75-liter V8 engine rated at 220 hp and paired with 3-speed GM THM400 automatic. But despite the large V8 and a gorgeous interior, the prices of these models frequently gravitate around $15,000.

History of Novosibirsk Oblast
Over thousands of years, the territory of the Novosibirsk region, due to its location on the border of natural zones and cultural regions (the Siberian taiga and the Eurasian steppe), played the role of a buffer zone or border zone of different peoples.
In the 13th-15th centuries, this land was the eastern outskirts of the Golden Horde. Later, until the end of the 16th century, it was part of the Siberian Khanate. In the 18th century, the territory of the present Novosibirsk region became part of the Russian Empire.
Despite the relatively favorable climate, the Russians began to settle here relatively late. The Barabin Tatars were the indigenous people. Today, their total population is about 10,000 people living mainly in the western parts of the region.
The Barabin Tatars were subjected to constant attacks of the Kalmyks (the Oyrates and Teleuts). Russian villages were also under the threat. That’s why people preferred to settle in the north, near Tomsk. Only at the end of the 17th century, Novosibirsk province became attractive to settlers.
More Historical Facts…
The first settlement was founded by the boyar son Alexey Kruglik in 1695. Later, this settlement became the village of Kruglikovo. Today, it is located in Bolotninsky district. In the early 18th century, Berdsky stockaded town was built. Over time, the threat from the nomads decreased and the number of settlers increased.
In 1722, the Siberian line of fortresses along the Irtysh River was constructed. The locals were mainly engaged in soil tilling, fishing and hunting. In the early 19th century, the famous Ural manufacturer Akinfiy Demidov constructed two copper melting plants here - Kolyvansky and Barnaulsky.
In 1893, due to the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the railway bridge across the Ob River, Alexandrovsky settlement was built (from 1895 - Novonikolayevsky). Thanks to its convenient geographical location (the Trans-Siberian Railway crossing the Ob River, transportation ways connecting Siberia with the European part of the Russian Empire), its trade importance grew rapidly. In 1909, Novonikolayevsk became a town. In 1925, it was renamed in Novosibirsk.
Before 1921, the territory of Novosibirsk oblast was part of Tomsk gubernia, from 1921 to 1925 - of Novonikolayevsk gubernia, from 1925 to 1930 - of Siberian krai, from 1930 to 1937 - of West Siberian krai. September 28, 1937, West Siberian krai was divided into Novosibirsk oblast and Altay krai. This date is considered the official date of the region formation.
