Damn your good Paul, bertho what is a gabare, are you french, do you know of August Turtu's boats

[L.W. Baxter]

Good find, Paul. That was/is a fantastic read.

[peter radclyffe]

i was surprised to see latifa at marciana on the island last year, for european vintage boat folks, she holds a special place in history, i had a chat with mario pirlo her owner

[Paul Pless]

Now That!!!is a beautiful boat!!! :)

[peter radclyffe]

Fife went on designing and building yachts well into his seventies. In 1935, aged 78, he designed one of his most admired ocean racing yachts, Latifa. She was one of his all-time favourites and, when he died in 1944, his sisters had a gilded model made of her. The real Latifa is still sailing in the Mediterranean, and the model is still on top of the spire of Fairlie Parish Church. Fife's grave is in the Largs cemetery, overlooking the waters where his beautiful designs made their mark.

hi peter,
the gabare was the local transport boat for everthing in britanny, sand/wood/stones... (you can see the "notre dame du rumengol" on the second pict... ) and auguste tertu the most skilly boatbuilder in our place, a legende, in "le sillon" just close to camaret, he desing and built our strong fishing boat ...

one day a man on a mission walked into the yard where we repaired narrowboats, he told me he had a bolinder engine, & he was looking for a narrowboat to put it in, i asked him did he want a rotten boat or a sound boat,
rotten he said, then he could take his time rebuilding it, we walked over to where 2 boats were moored together, a coke can had floated between them & sunk one of them, your in luck said i, we have what you want,
6 grand to rebuild the bow
9 grand for the stern
& your divorce lawyer can advise you on the bit inbetween
fine he said, where do i sign

What is one of the most important things to make sure of, when you set out to sea ?
That your boat is sound
Do you ever hear this story about an old boat, whose owner reckoned he was a better navigator than, neil armstrong, christopher columbus & peter andre combined, who wrote books about what a good seaman he was, books ,like hand relief & beer, whose boat when he sold it turned out to be completely rotten,

i built a new stern, deckbeams, half new framing, planking,deckshelves, stringers, washboards, coachroof on the 40ft, 1935, fred shepherd, berthons teak, pitch pine, oak & bronze gaff cutter Oenone,
some clowns in a sicilian boatyard had put her in a bilge cradle without her lead keel touching the ground, then they were going to burn her, its the only time ive seen that someone had refastened a keel with brass keelbolts, which had wasted away in 7 years from 18mm to 6 mm, the methods used in the med are still a source of danger & amazement to me as i try to understand how people think here on boats, it is common here to use mastic instead of cotton/oakum & mastic to attempt to make seams watertight, many people here cannot seem the grasp the principle of wedging a seam shut, which stiffens a hull or deck like a cask

[peter radclyffe]

i re-aligned her rudder & bored a new sterntube,gunnel cap, bronze mini stanchions, what a wreck of a boat, her deck camber was reversed on her covering boards,and there those puddles of fresh water lay, i deduced that the original construction was weakly engineered, i have to be sure when stating this about a boat built by a well resepected yard,
the problem i found was the beamshelves had collapsed due to insufficient fastening, copper bolts thru the top strake, so the huge weight of the long coachroof was resting on these washers, which had pulled thru the pitch pine,as you know the practice of increasing the length of coachroofs to resemble a tube train had increased pre-war to maximise accomodation, which is fine if it is supported by pillars at the bulkheads housed on the frames, which she did not have, so i put some in

Peter, am I reding this right that the photos in the thread above that post are Peggy? I love her shape, do you have any more infor/pic's of her?

I'd also been meaning to ask, do you know the C&N yacht Marigold?

[peter radclyffe]

i dont have much more about peggy, i think there is a cockwells replica of her polly agatha ?, my mate john mills worked on.
john woolley , who taught me repair rebuilt marigold, which powlesland forgot to mention, i know her only following the build, some photos in the mags

[peter radclyffe]

people working in machine shops often listen to the noise equivalent of a formula one race almost every working day of their lives, even with ear protection this destroys the nerves

[peter radclyffe]

shipwrighting is 80 % hard graft, ten per cent yap,
some clowns you work with reverse these,
part of 30 years of boatbuilding is
every day for 5 years your constantly moving underneath a boat in all weathers,
you cant stand up & everywhere you move your carrying the equivalent of a car battery, often at arms length
you may be covered in wood shavings
you are a human wood dust filter

[peter radclyffe]

heres an old scrapper, 26 metres, but worth studying her lines because she was known among the fishermen as a good sea boat, which is not always the case on fishing boats, i priced up one job to convert a round stern to square, but as usual, there only talking

THE BIG CLASS



1


How different would the work have been for a shipwright, plater, blacksmith or joiner! No welding machines, all steelwork was riveted, no angle grinders, maybe a bench grinder, no stainless steel, a blessing and a curse because stainless steel is very hard to drill; maybe no electric lights, I don’t know, no halogen lamps or strip lighting, no plastic for washers or bedding.

[peter radclyffe]

this is about building a composite racing yacht 100 years ago

[peter radclyffe]

2

For the joiners and the shipwrights, no chop saws, bench sanders, biscuit machines, modern glues, crosshead screws and cordless drills and torches or routers, all moulding was probably done on a spindle router and with hand moulding planes, no electric planers or hand circular saws, no chain saws most large pieces were worked by axe adze, chisels. Spars were either steel or drawknife and hand planes, the mallet and chisel is still one of the most versatile ways to remove wood, combined with saw cuts, it’s way quicker, safer and cheaper then a router where a large chunk of wood is to be removed, it can then be finished with a router, caulking mallets and iron haven’t really changed in 100 years, but the mastic and glues have.

Mohican is one of that incredible Fast Commuters fleet that during 10’s and 20’s transported their owners from their Long Island’s luxury villas to New York City.
Every day 100-150 Fast Commuters competed in speed; the records were markets on New York Yacht Club’s board.
Born to be competitive in speed, they were pushed by big petrol engines.
Built in different sizes, they started from 50 feet length to arrive at Peter Rouss 225 feet’s boat.
Mohican was built by Consolidated, period’s most important motoryachts shipyard. It was transported in Italy and then restored at maximum level without any compromises

Baglietto,very famous italian shipyard established in 1860 and growned after Second World War during the italian economic and nautical boom period, with series production of motoryachts.
Elba, Capri, Ischia, Minorca and Maiorca were the models.
Ischia was the most famous one with 97 exemplares production; a record for that period!
Last ten Ischia’s motoryachts had fly bridge. Baglietto, in fact, transformed, first in the field, american’s fischermann’s fly bridges in living areas.
Roberta was the last Ischia exemplar and was completly restored by CNI without compromises.
The final result is a reliable boat, refinedly decored, at 100% originality level.

The rigging until 1924 was gaff type, then customers could choose Marconi version too.
After the War, all the royalties on this model were bought by Quincy Adams shipyards, that sold
them again to others during the years.
Its great success continues today, as every year several exemplares are built both in original
“Buzzard Bay” version, both in “Haven”version.
Juanita was bought in 1995, in Maine.
It is a well known model in USA, not often on the market in Europe.

This boat was built in 6 identical exemplares.
It came from English Navy force “Torpedo boats” used during the Second World War.
Today only 2 exemplares remain; Sereia and anothe one owned by the Thailand Royal family.
John Thornycroft was a pioneer in using “redan”, a little single step that interrupts hull surface reducing water’s impact and increasing speed.
Later on, in 1910, “redan” use became familiar for all sports boats producers.
Then, we saw the introduction of the traditional planant bottom, from which hydroplane name
cames.
Thornycroft shipyard was famous not only for the military and civil boats they built, but also for a
series of racing boats, as Miss England II and Miss England III, that won several speed’s records.
Sereia was bought in 1992 and completly restored. Until it arrived at its past splendor.
An important and rare vassel, in excellent conditions.
It is practically an unique item

Portoferraio. An eco shipbuilding. A production chain that respects the environmental quality of the territory. This project initiated on an experimental basis, from Esaom, thanks to the professionalism of a shipwright elbano adoption, Peter Radclyffe, and the collaboration of a group of boys from the recovering community Exodus, a long time - through its own cooperative - to work in the yard. Objective: build brand wooden Esaom goiters. And around this production to develop the skills to make a point of reference of the Elbe for the recovery and restoration of wooden boats. No fiberglass, no maxi yacht "that size and type of production - says the director of Esaom, Antonio Martella - would hardly be compatible with Portoferraio el'Elba. Theater of the experimental area of Cantierino. I Esaom goiters. Inside the yard for several months at work Radclyffe Peter, shipwright elbano adoption, and after various professional experiences in some of the most famous Italian shipyard for wooden boats, like the Viareggio Del Carlo, and numerous restoration ships historical value, putting his hand to the realization of a prototype of goiter in agreement with Esaom. Boat of six meters in maritime pine. A small jewel of naval engineering, the kind that is now difficult to appreciate in the yards because, to make a difference, there is the art of a master carpenter. "It will be completed by next spring - says Martella - and after some tests at sea, put on sale. Obviously a market niche that of goiter, or intended for fishing enthusiasts, "but that goes well - continues the director of the shipyard - the traditions and characteristics of this territory." Restoration. The prototype is only a piece of the project, more broadly, the shipyard elbano that the wood would pay more attention within their historical activities refitting. In Italy there are very few centers that specialize in water restoration of wooden boats. And one of the reasons is that the master builders like Peter Radclyffe able to carry out the works are very few. Here then is the idea that the production of goiter was born Esaom second project: the recovery of historical craft in conjunction with a cooperative of young people linked to the rehabilitation community Exodus. All boys who have responsibilities for boating and that already work for other types of work, through the yard. To them, in recent months, was given the opportunity to have a teacher, Peter fact, that guides them in the recovery of small boats history. In the Cantierino there are already two waiting to be reborn to new life: a crop of the early twentieth century, probably belonged to General Diaz, and a spear than a hundred years ago was used as a boat rowing race for the stakes. -- Valentina Landucci

i have designed a 9 metre colin archer type boat


May I ask a little question?
I hope/ suppose that the mast extends a good lot higher after the jib stay, and has another stay higher up, isn't it? I am afraid that, otherwise, there would not be enough distance between the gaff jaw (or saddle or whatever) and the upper peak halyard block.

[peter radclyffe]

hi Luke yes it does, my picture is not complete

[peter radclyffe]

I met a boatbuilder who very kindly took the time to explain the finer details of the history of 1'000’s of years of boatbuilding & charter
& the painstaking ways they took to make sure the customer is always right shafted

[peter radclyffe]

some of you have read this

Jerkish gullet or the best

Company has expensive, no experience in boatbuilding, we dont have the nessry, facultys, kipment, or person, We dont no how to make good boat, all boats we build is rubbish but we don’t care, because when you paid, whot you gonna do baht it, fool, you believe, any things wot we tell you, one born every minute, Out of 4’000 pictures we select onli 13 to show you cos rest is rubbish, we are never ready to answer the questions from customer, cos we are in whorehouse with bank manager, then we go casino, sniff drugs, where we make joke about stupid client, soon parted with cash, like ever body knows you either gedda de Turkish or de best, we don’t givva de fuk,

Gullet is very old vessel built of crap, they were used for 12’000 years by thieves, stealing all you got, olive oil, amphoras, wine, was used when we got plastered with ouzo, in extensive exploration and trading voyages we go rape and pillage, with your sheep Over the years the gullet has degenerated from was beautiful graceful swan, now is fat ugly pig of dog, finished with sand blast and cement, cracked deck, weak superstructure, hull not caulked, cos we fuggin lazy, so boat sink you buy another boat, we not stupid, we see you coming out of bank .

Most boats is built by rum bods called Stanley on the black, many years ago we study where we find best materials, we make extensive search high and low far and wide, thick and thin, then after careful deliberation and much consultation we make choice , the engine come out of front of old lorry, the wood fall of the back, we do our very best for you sir are most discerning customer, refined and prestigious in your ways, true or not we know you want hear this, you so stupid you pay we tell you your wonderful, our boats are so well known in Sweden they are called Voidatallcost, which our Swedish friends tried to translate to us but we too thick to understand much at all, the emphasis in our ranch built cabins is no air conditioning, tacky finish, leaky deck, goat in cupboard, mosquito in broken shower, none of this is in our brochure which is written by B.Cartland and any banker who lost his job, now we use his lack of moral fibre to sell you nightmare/holiday you will never be able to forget , we don’t care because next year another punter flies delayed plane.

I've been enjoying the groove you're in here Peter.

Are you aware that the link in post #129 leads to a "Hot Asian Chick" doing a standup comedy routine? Based on your other links I think that one may be in error.

Also, did you know that you can label your links so that people know what they are before they click on them? Like this: Chalutier en bois construit en Bretagne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypai1j5vXcU) See, now everybody knows what that is. Unless they don't speak Japanese.:D

[Lucky Luke]

Peter: this picture, on post #160, is of my old boat: Morwenna.....:(

I am, actually, very angry at these guys for the sh...t work they did on "my" old Lady!!! With all the means - and the finance! - they have compared to my meager ones when I actually SAVED her, with all their charpentiers de marine and ebenistes de marine...("ship cabinet makers"....whatzit???), they just show that if they are very capable - no question about that! - to do these Breton fishing boats, they bloody know nothing about Yachts! If you don't know: don't do it!

Morwenna had one of the most beautiful decking you can ever see, with deck planks starting along the king plank first (which king plank was narrower at the ends - at least they have respected that!) and then each plank nicely narrowed each end, gradually coming to a shape close to that of the gunwale where they were nicely holly splined, and not bluntly squared like it is now by this bunch of bloody damn cowboys!!! .

Look at this travail de cochons!:

Here is Morwenna when she was mine, after quite extensive refit with, as I said, my meager means at the time (wish I had the yard I have now at my disposal!!!):

http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo249/lucky-luke-vn/Canto1-crop.jpg

http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo249/lucky-luke-vn/Canto5-web.jpg


...and look at what they did (not to mention such wide king planks...varnished! ...confusing sailing and ice skating! Bathtub sailors!) :

http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo249/lucky-luke-vn/guip-deck.jpg

Also, while they changed all the beams (something I wished I had been able to do: I had bought the best plywood you can find on the market from Contreplaques Charles, with the intent to redo the whole decking since beams were rotten on top), they could easily have rectified this little "wave" there was in the deck, at the level of the foremast, as the picture you have posted shows (although slightly blurred there), but do you think that these cowboys even noticed it?:

Waiting for acetone to free me from glue

How do you find the time to be a boatbuilder and put all this stuff together. Or does your avatar,"a shipwright yesterday", hold the answer to that?
Some of us, on our time on earth, leave stuff behind for others to enjoy, to follow, to learn from, to carry on the work of.
You my friend, have put your mark on one hell of a lot of stuff.
Impressive indeed.

[floatingkiwi]

Why does a boat float? Because of the air inside it that is being contained and forced into the water, right? From the outermost layer of material in the hull, and that contained within its shape, the amount of air all contributes to its floating. Steel will float if formed into the right shape, and wood will float as a stick because of the air in it.That is why wood is lighter than steel. Because of its having less mass or more air between the molecules or particles, right?
What about a piece of ebony or ironbark compared to some lightweight alloy or aluminium. The alloy can be lighter than the wood yet a piece of it will still sink whereas the wood would float. Or wouldn't it?

[peter radclyffe]

thanks Kerry, i'm aware that this is all yesterdays news, even the stuff i'm building today

[peter radclyffe]

yes the wood will float shaped in a certain vessel

[peter radclyffe]

i was chatting once with some of the crew of sorlandet,
while stan hugill was raving on a yardarm,
they wanted someone to shoot him so he'd fall to the deck,
they didn't want him to die,
they just wanted him to stop singing

in 1976 i fitted the drains in the fishermans sale hut at felixstowe ferry,and worked for a fisherman kenny craighill , who would take chances like no other on the dangerous river bar entrance , one night they didnt make it back, as wind over tide did for them,& they grounded on the bar , which would shift, 3 of them died on the lillian j craighill,
the only time i've had a boss die on me, i had to find another job

Dear Peter,
With all due respect: why do you insist - unless you want to link to a whole page or site and not to just a picture - on pasting all those links to pictures without simply adding before and then after (replace lowercase by uppercase) so that they will show immediately? Do you think that many people will take (or have) the time to click on those so many links - excepted also the "youtube" ones of course - and open a dozen windows to have a look at the pictures you want to show?
Please: if you want to share - which is very kind of you - your research and examples: do it in a way that is practical, not one that most will ignore.
Thanks
Luc

[peter radclyffe]

i dont know how to do that Luc, can you explain
