In the US, I'd start with the brokers that advertise in WoodenBoat magazine.

If it is in good condition a WM. Fife is worth a lot of money. I would
almost suggest talking to Sotheby. While not experts on boats they are good at selling high value antiques and may be able to guide you in the right direction. There are a couple of English and French brokers that specialize in classics like that and J-Class Management in Newport comes to mind over here. JCM is a couple of really sharp women who manage the restoration of classics. They do a little brokerage but can surely help with advice. Woodenboat Magazine and Classic Boat Magazine are possible places to advertise. Antoine wrote: We have to let go of our William Fife 1935 6metre.

Glen, will follow up a your suggestions - the boat is in perfect condition, following a sympathetic restoration, she's almost as she was the day she came out of Fife's yard. On a different note I have been following your progress on RUTU for a couple of years now... fantastic job! Antoine |
