FIFE REGATTA 2022
he event is, of course, the occasional spectacular known simply as ‘the Fife Regatta’. It has been held previously in 1998, 2003, 2008 and 2013, and this year has a new sponsor in the form of luxury watch brand Richard Mille. Those occasions saw, respectively, as early as 1812, and (a steam paddle ship) just two years after that, before settling down to concentrate on “fast and bonnie” sailing boats, the quotation that became the title of May Fife McCallum’s book about the Fife dynasty – as well as the mantra that would drive the business forward, through the next two generations. These days, Fife yachts are venerated around the world for their beauty and craftsmanship, and have been the subject of perhaps more big restorations than vessels from any other designer.
