Mariquita, she is a gaff cutter designed by William Fife Ill and built on the Clyde in Scotland in 1911. One of the precursor to the J-Class's. Mariquita is one of the most iconic classic sailing yachts on the water to-day. Designed and built by William Fife III, she was launched in May 1911. Following three successful racing seasons, Mariquita was taken to Norway, where she spent the war years. On return to the UK, she was decommis-sioned and turned into a houseboat. She remained this way until the mid-1990s, when her restoration by Fairlie Restorations began. After careful dismantling and restoration, Mariquita’s owner and guest accommodation remains virtually unchanged from when she was first built, with the exception of the addition of modern services and some enhancements. Her racing pedigree is long and illustrious, with the pinnacle of her recent racing career being winning the Big Boat Panerai Trophy in 2014.

Tuiga was built for the Duke of Medinacelli, who was a friend of the King of Spain. It was designed to be identical to the King's yacht, Hispania, so that they could race on equal terms. Despite this, Tuiga often placed second in races, leading to rumors that the Duke was purposely holding back to avoid defeating the King. Tuiga was the first 15-Metre yacht to be restored by Fairlie Restorations and has been owned by the Monaco Yacht Club since 1993. In 1999, she was joined by her sister, The Lady Anne, and more recently by Hispania and Mariska.
