Wooden Ships Comments on this G.L. Watson Gaff Cutter
Designed by G.L. Watson and according to the Greenock Herald, she was launched on 24th April 1887 from the yard of Thomas Orr Jr. from his Greenock yard on the Clyde.
Rebuilt by the Chantier Bernard in St Vaast, France. Relaunched in 2017.
The yacht was built to a commission for Robert Cowan Robertson who was a student at the Glasgow School of Art and an exact contemporary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
The commission was No.134 for Watson with lines based on those of the Loch Fyne Skiff type fishing vessels which have a very distinctive stern, generous freeboard and a straight stem.
One of her defining features is her interior and most of the salon joinery is original. Her elaborate decor was a result of Robertsons wealth and artistic inclinations and is characteristic of Clydeside fashionable interiors of the time. One of her most notable features is a pair of stained glass sliding panels depicting a stylised Scottish thistle very much in the ‘Glasgow’ style, and although highly unusual for a yacht interior, they represent the true essence of this yacht, her history and her period.
The raised and fielded oak panelling, fluted pilasters, Ionic capitals and egg and dart cornice throughout the saloon represent the highest possible standard of joinery.
Bought by the present owner in 2009, there then started a major rebuild of the boat involving every facet of the hull, rig, systems and interior. The keel came off, stem replaced, 80% new planking and frames. Complete new deck structure and interior replaced or refurbished with all new systems and a complete new rig. This remarkable rebuild was imagined by the yachts eccentric owner whos ambition, vision and drive have helped give a new lease of life to this unique yacht.
The yacht was launched again in 2017.
This yacht is a completely unique piece of maritime history, unusual in her design, rich in history and pedigree and with a stunning interior first conceived and fitted over 125 years ago.

Falmouth Pilot Cutter Pellew For Sale
Wooden Ships Comments on this traditional pilot cutter for sale
VAT will be charged on the sale of this vessel. This can be reclaimed by a purchasing company that is VAT registered.
Pellew was built by Luke Powell and his Working Sail Yard in Truro, Cornwall, and launched in February 2020.
The lines were taken from the Vincent, a Falmouth Pilot cutter built in 1852 for the Vincent family of St Mawes. She worked for 70 years as a pilot boat, finally retiring in 1922 and ending her days as a houseboat on the Percuil River very close to the yard where she had been built.
When the idea to build a new pilot cutter of considerable size, a 68ft boat, was born, the lines of Vincent were seen as the ideal basis and the project to build Pellew began. Her keel was laid in 2017, and less than 3 years later, she was launched to begin a career as a commercial charter vessel.
The sailing yacht was designed and built from the very start to comply with the MCA regulations and has been constructed to MCA Category 0 standards so that she can operate worldwide. She is currently coded to Category 2 (60Nm from safe haven), but with extra safety and communication gear, she is eligible for Category 0. She is fastened throughout with bronze and copper and is planked in oak top to bottom, so has been built to last from the best available materials.
Charter boat for sale
Pellew is an extremely tough and capable sailing yacht but also elegant and graceful. She works well as a charter boat, offering awe-inspiring holidays on the west coast of Scotland, but she could very well be used as a sail training vessel or for expedition voyages to remote parts of the world.
She has 8 guest berths and is licenced for 15 persons in total with a comfortable crew cabin aft, large saloon, guest accommodation forward and 3 heads compartments with showers. Her commercial-grade galley can easily cater for a full complement of crew with a large fridge and freezer, dishwasher and oven.
This is the biggest sailing boat to have been built in wood in the UK for many years and was a landmark project, the result is a superb vessel that will survive for decades to come, and this is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a new sailing boat of this size and type

Wooden Ships Comments on this Liverpool Class Lifeboat
Liverpool Class RNLB built by Groves & Guttridge Ltd, Cowes, in 1939.
She served as the lifeboat for Cloughey, Co. Down with a well documented service record.
After being sold out of the RNLI in 1966, she was used as a private motor launch.
Between 2010 and 2012 she underwent a major restoration in the hands of Nelsons Boats, a yard specialising in lifeboats. She was put back as close as possible to her original service condition by sourcing as many original parts, features and fittings as possible. She was re-engined with an almost new Ford 4D. The hull was found to be in excellent condition with no structural repairs required during the refit period.
This vessel is a living and working piece of maritime history in excellent condition, very capable and tough with legendary sea keeping qualities. She is not equipped with the luxuries of a modern yacht and as such offers a different type of boating but she does it with style. Complete with forward tent offering a dry cabin with 2 berths when required.
The boat is on the National Register of Historic Ships and is eligible to fly their dedicated ensign.
This is a remarkable boat with many original features and fittings. Clean survey from 2021 available.
Currently in undercover storage at the vendors home with facilities to lift onto transport.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Danish Topsail Schooner
Built in Denmark by Ustrup of Vejle in 1934.
Originally built as a fishing vessel for gill net fishing, she is typical of the Danish designed vessels of the period with a bluff bow, sweeping sheer line and an elegant elliptical counter stern. Launched with the name MIAS, she worked out of Hvide Sande with the fishing number RI100. Sold to the UK in 1979 where she fished out of Sunderland, before moving to Maryport in 1987. She continued fishing until purchased by the present owners in 1996.
Converted to her current configuration by her shipwright owner between 1996-2000, she carries an eye catching topsail schooner rig and has an MCA Category 2 commercial licence for 12 persons. During the initial conversion all her hull fastenings were doubled up with approximately 10% of the oak hull planking replaced along with most of the deck beams, carlins and then a new deck laid.
Very nicely fitted out below decks with 8 berths including 2 doubles and 4 singles. Laminated teak bath in the heads compartment.
She has cruised over the last 25 years as a family boat and as a charter vessel, exploring the Irish Sea, Scotland, Ireland and Brittany.
A superb little ship that doesn’t need a large crew to handle her, ideal for continued charter work or sailing as a private yacht. She has excelled appearing in various films and TV productions with her rig making her very attractive to the productions crews looking for something a bit special. She also has the visual impact to command appearance fees for the various boat festivals around the UK where she is a regular attendee.

Wooden ships Comments on this De Vries Lentsch Blue Water Ketch
Designed by De Vries Lentsch and built by Dutch luxury yacht builder Dik Van der Heiden in 1987 as a blue water ocean cruising yacht, specifically designed as a comfortable and capable yacht for extended family cruising.
In only her 3rd ownership, this yacht has travelled many thousands of miles around the globe, crossing the Atlantic numerous times and served as a cruising home for a young family. Designed and built to withstand the rigours of ocean sailing, her hull is immensely strong and her sheltered centre cockpit makes her a very safe boat at sea. The ample deck space and cavernous interior make for very comfortable live aboard conditions as she has proved over the years.
Continual upgrades and improvements in recent years include a new teak deck in 2014, new teak coachroof decks in 2019, engine rebuild 2019 plus new generator, batteries and a water maker.
This is a serious live aboard cruising yacht with excellent pedigree and provenance, more than capable of setting off again around the world be it with a family or single handed.
