Penduick Half Hull

The Penduick , thus named since 1935, was designed by William Fife, famous naval architect.  Fife acquired a spectacular reputation in the yacht racing world and his work also comprised a number of fine cruising vessels. Fife yard  was also renowned for the extremely high quality of the  craftsmanship and designs of the yachts built at the yard.

The yacht first passed into new hands in 1900 and the following years were also very successful ones – with the Yum winning many important regattas.  In 1952, the Frenchman Eric Tabarly bought the Pen Duick from his father.  With the help of friends and many years’ hard work, Eric succeeded in making the Pen Duick seaworthy again. Because the new hull was lighter, the Pen Duick was able to carry more ballast, making it possible for Eric to use a longer mast. During a later reconditioning which began in 1983, the mast height was lengthened once again.

Today the Pen Duick is owned by the Tabarly family and she takes part in various events during the racing season.
