Thanks Paul ...one of the prettier boats around !

[Paul Pless]

There's a gourgeous picture of her at this link on page 16.

[PeterSibley]

Yep ,she's just about perfect !

[TerryLL]

Any idea what that little beauty weighs? She seems to stand up to that cloud of canvas just fine.

[Paul Pless]

There's a little more about her here: link (http://www.woodenboat.org/boats/Boat_Detail.aspx?processID=206)


Bryony's design was taken from turn-of the century (1890's) Bristol Channel pilots. Franken gave her a rounder bilge than was traditional. As a result, Bryony sails with considerably less heel than her older cousins.
Bryony can fly three working sails, the main, stays'l, and jib. In light air, using Bryony's topmast, we can add a tops'l and a jib tops'l.


I'd like to see a lines plan.

With Photoshop you can remove such distracting and unsightly things from the image. What we need is the real-time app.

Here is a shot of her from Port Townsend last Sept.

Her interior is absolutely awesome - minimal, tidy and beautiful.

Paul who owns Bryony posts here occasionally

I think Paul told me that a local boat building school built it and he bought it from them. I'm not 100% sure of that, though.

Bryony is a real beauty. Almost a PT icon like Martha and Adventuress.

I was looking at her the other day. She needs a bit of work these days.

don't we all

[Jay Greer]

I might add that Paul is a very modest person. So, I will add that he is also a master pattern maker and wooden boat builder.

There was an article once upon a time in WB on her construction in a school perhaps in the early 80's . NW School of Boatbuilding ?

There was an article once upon a time in WB on her construction in a school perhaps in the early 80's . NW School of Boatbuilding ?I'd like to find that article. I searched the WoodenBoat online index and Google and found no reference to it.

[PeterSibley]

IIRC it may have been part of an article on Bob Prothero , have I got that name right ?

[PeterSibley]

This might be it Paul .

[Paul Pless]

Thank you Peter, I'm kinda half heartedly plowing a small plot this evening, when I get in tonight I'll check that out.

[PeterSibley]

Was that the issue Paul ?

[johnw]

I raced against her a couple times when there was a classic yacht racing scene here. The great thing about those races was looking at those boats sailing. I do think she was the most beautiful thing there.

[Paul Pless]

Was that the issue Paul ?That's the issue. Good article on the school, not much on the cutter.

[PeterSibley]

Very little as I remember , it's been ten years since I read that ...but a good photo of her hull ?
