The cutter Bloodhound is a 70-foot replica of a celebrated Victorian-era racing yacht originally built in 1874 for the Marquess of Ailsa and designed by William Fife II. Recreated in the 1990s using original plans, she reflects the speed and elegance that defined early yacht racing. With her traditional wooden construction, long bowsprit, and powerful sail plan, Bloodhound offers a striking example of 19th-century performance and craftsmanship while remaining an active sailing vessel today.
