New boats on classic lines

[Fastnet]

I'm looking for examples of new boats built to classic lines. I know plenty about the J-class builds but I have seen one or two classic-looking tenders floating about and wonder if there is a builder specialising in retro boats. I'm not thinking of Salcombe yawls that are the real McCoy, but boats that look like they are classics but are new designs or new makes of old designs. Can anyone help?

How about something like this?

which is a copy of this which was built more than 90 years ago.

Have a look at the W Yachts webpage at http://www.w-class.com/spirit_of_tradition_yachts/f/w_class_yachts_home.html

Also Ed Burnett has some very nice modern classic designs on his web page - http://www.burnettyachtdesign.co.uk/saildesign.html

PS - Lovely photo of the Spirit Yacht above - but no life jackets, or even guard rails! Tut tut.

Yeah I saw the lack of jackets too. Mind you, i saw plenty of RIB drivers flashing past my Hanse last week devoid of jackets too. Mind boggling really.
