Vessel Belle Aventure
1929 Fife

Vessel Belle Aventure was brought to us for a comprehensive re-cutting of teak seams and re-caulking of all teak deck in the summer/fall of 2009. It was a pleasure to work on this fine sailing vessel and we truly hope to have the opportunity to care for her again.

Brief history of vessel: Belle Aventure was first introduced from William Fife's yard in June of 1929. Constructed with two inch teak planing over oak frames, she was built as a fast and strong auxiliary ketch. She has survived over seventy years and is a great example to the fine craftsmanship of Fife's shipwights, and continuous maintenance by caring owners and crew.

Belle Aventure is truly a living legacy and testimony to William Fife's insight.
