Congratulations Falcon Q-16 for the outstanding season race results at Cassis, SanRemo and Voiles d’Antibes: 11 first in 11 regattas (and several Line Honors). Outstanding!!

FALCON is a Universal rule "Q" Class Racing Yacht designed by Frank C. Paine in 1929, she was built by George Lawley and Sons, Boston, Massachusetts in 1930.

Frank Paine was a renowned yacht designer and long-time associate of Starling Burgess or Belknap & Skene, all famous American designers.

FALCON was acquired by Patrick de Barros, who entrusted ABSOLUTE to have her restored and optimized for the CIM Classic Yacht Circuit.

FALCON had a successful racing season in 2023 and 2024 winning the Porquerolle's Classics, Les Voiles du Vieux-Port, Marseille, the Regates Royales, Cannes...

John Lammerts van Bueren , a great friend, emailed us a few weeks back about FOXHOUND: "What makes her exciting to me is that she’s largely original, exterior and interior... hardware, joinery you name it, she’s like a time machine, actually incredible. Her planking is original and largely intact. Interior original and intact. Both need scraping back and restoring but the material is largely in excellent condition (all Teak, Honduras Mahogany and Honduras Cedar). Her deck is in bad shape and needs replacement. The hardware however is amazing and largely original.
I have been on board some 20 years ago when she was in Lisbon, knocked me of my socks !”

May your heart be filled with joy today and always. Merry Christmas to us all!

This project was requested to us by the owner of the CCA ocean racer SEA LION. These are trophies made with the previous bronze bulwark fairleads and deck cleats that were originally mounted on the yacht. What a beautiful recall of the service years on board!

Send us your custom project ideas, we will make your wishes come true: [email protected]

These deck lead blocks will soon be installed on VALHALLA, a CCA ocean racer we have been restoring. Absolute bronze lead blocks are a must on any deck and cockpit of classic yachts.

VALHALLA, just got out of the painting room in great style. Her majestic royal blue perfectly matches the cream boot top and black antifouling. Next step will be the assembly of the masts and rigging.
