About Moonbeam of Fife III

Classic sailing yacht “MOONBEAM OF FIFE III” is certainly one of the most successful classic Yachts in the world. The story of MOONBEAM yachts began in 1858 with Moonbeam I &II. In 1902 Charles Plumtree Johnson, an eminent London lawyer, decided to go back to William Fife for the creation of his 3rd yacht taking into account his navigation projects as he wanted to race under the new RORC tonnage which included sailing ships with fitted-out interiors.Moonbeam III was launched in 1903, and was hull n° 491 to leave the Fife yard. The result was a magnificent yacht which has now become one of the most successful classic yachts in the world. Her streamlined shape and large sail surface area both make for an extremely elegant and unique yacht.
