Lady Anne 1912 is one of the rare 15m ships still afloat! It's the twin of Tuiga (1909), Marishka (1908) and Spain (1909).
Launched for the wealthy yachtsman George Coates, she crossed paths several times in regattas. Built by William Fife III at the Fife family's legendary Scottish shipyard in the small village of Fairleigh, on the west coast of Scotland, until the 1920s, Lady Anne ran a Marconi rig. It then became a ketch and appears to have been used to transport munitions during World War II.
 
After spending several years in Spain, Lady Anne (sail #D10) was found on England's River Humble and underwent restoration at Fairlie Restorations shipyard near Southampton.
Since 1999, having become the property of a Spanish company, Lady Anne began to participate in vintage sailing races, taking numerous victories
