About Claybeth

While mulling over a new Highlander, Malcom Forbes purchased Claybeth, a well-balanced 38-metre yacht that would gain fame as the fourth The Highlander. Unlike on many newer yachts where the temptation was to seek out the views above, the master stateroom on this yacht was down below where there’s less motion when she’s underway. Claybeth enjoyed a complete rebuild in 2016 while still retaining her original 1979 classic Feadship style.
