Fairey Marine Ltd. (also known as Fairey Marine)

Fairey Marine Ltd. was a renowned British boatbuilding and marine engineering company, renowned for its innovative use of aviation-derived techniques in constructing high-performance sailing dinghies and motorboats. Founded in the late 1940s as a spin-off from the Fairey Aviation Company, it played a pivotal role in the post-WWII sailing boom, producing thousands of boats that emphasized speed, strength, and elegance. The company transitioned from wooden hot-moulded hulls to fiberglass in the 1970s and expanded into military vessels and luxury cruisers before evolving through mergers into modern entities focused on superyacht refits and restorations.
