Will is one of the most sensational shipwrights at work in the UK today. His attention to authenticity and the integrity of purpose is without precedent is this size of vessel. Utterly remarkable work from one of the classic boat world's true gentlemen. And a great guy to boot!
What an interesting configuration of sails, I do believe I had seen this many years ago in a model form, as well as a book of sorts about the history of cutters. blast it is a looker.
Traditional gaff rigged cutter. The only difference is that she also has a top sail & stay sail and an exceptionally long bowsprit that modifies the foresails size somewhat. She is a beauty though.
Another advantage of multiple headsails on for example a gaff cutter is that it suits the inherent sailtwist you have in the mainsail. measurement rules are the main reason the multipleheadsail rigs disappeared.. some rules like the square metre rule measure a boats sail area as mainsail area + 85% of the foretriangle meaning the boat measured in with a jib but competed with a huge overlapping genoa instead at the same handicap.
with multiple headsails the first sail assists all the others in the same way a jib assists a sloops mainsail (venturi effect).. also multiple sails of moderate size are easier to handle, however each sequential sail you add takes away a few degrees from your pointing ability. Modern materials have done alot though.. and the bigger sails benefit from them the most i think, for example J-class yachts that nowadays race with a sloop rig instead of their original cutter configuration.
#ksweens01 you have to read up on the great controversy which discusses how yankee sloops (forward mast, single headsails) and a british cutters (aft mast, multiple headsails) were developed at a time in which traditions and rules of thumb still dictated yacht design in the 1880s when cutters like Integrity sailed. This would all change in 1890s.
Great boat ,thank you for the video it’s beautiful boat . I am sailing around the world. I am from the garden island of Kauai. Welcome on my Facebook page

This has got to be Hands-Down the most beautiful yacht you guys have ever posted.
I love this cutter, good to have people making this kind of project alive.
This is a real state of the art boat. I admire the designers and builders!

Some dream of flying, I dream of this. Wonderfully filmed as well.

Beautiful boat. This Is My dream.
Have a look at Elley Grey a 65ft od grp replica of a 1896 St.Malo pilot cutter stunning !
Beautiful
are those boats only good for protective waters or can you sail in the open sea with them?

No interior shots?
She is based on a turing cutter? What is that? I don't find any information on that.
I want that ship!!
beauty...
it certainly looks like it was a nice day out. Can Elaine now convince us all to go back to wood?

Anyone wishes to see the real thing should pay a visit to Classicworks Shipyard in La Ciotat France where Partridge is still sailing.
anyone know a ballpark cost for something like this?
Dan Means
if you need to ask
you can't afford
Well that was a bit of a juxtaposition!
@@philipritson8821 how could it cost so much it is only made of wood
@Jim Nickles if you know how to wood work it cannot cost as much. But the wood type entirwly depends
Send me the plans
Are you ashamed of the cabin? Not a glimpse of the inside.
Taylors kerosene stove, a coal burning heater, lots of varnish and leather.
We need the story to go with it. What is a young man like yourself doing in a boat like this?
posso volerla?
Fede e ....io cucino ok?

If only the Americas Cup would return to this. Leave the high tech stuff to the world races... my humble opinion
WOW
Tornem als clàssics!! Molt bé.!!!
