History:

The Tuiga is a classic and iconic sailing yacht with a rich history, first built in 1909. Originally designed by William Fife III, a renowned Scottish yacht designer, Tuiga was constructed in the Fife Shipyard in Scotland, known for producing some of the world’s most prestigious racing yachts. The yacht was designed for the international racing circuit and became one of the most celebrated yachts of its time.

The name "Tuiga" comes from a Tongan word meaning "flag," symbolizing the yacht’s prestigious racing status and importance in the world of yachting. Tuiga’s design features a sleek, beautiful hull made of high-quality wood, with mahogany and teak decks, which have given it both durability and elegance over the years. The yacht’s design, particularly its long overhangs, curved lines, and stunning classic sails, make it a beautiful and recognizable presence on the water.

Throughout its long life, the Tuiga has participated in many prestigious regattas, particularly in the Mediterranean, where it became famous for its graceful performance and victories. Its involvement in these regattas, such as the Copa del Rey and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, solidified its status as a symbol of timeless sailing excellence.

Today, Tuiga is not only a vessel admired for its racing history but also a symbol of heritage and craftsmanship. It continues to participate in classic yacht regattas, where it is cherished by collectors, sailors, and enthusiasts of maritime history. The Tuiga stands as a living testament to the golden age of yacht design and the enduring appeal of classic sailing.
