/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Damn, didn't think anyone would notice. (Backstay a bit tight too, chute tack a bit high as well) But swmbo is driving, with my 2yr old in his orange lifejacket, and I'm in the dink praying the outboard doesn't stall.
she's on yachtworld and for s*l* (well maybe)

Another ace marine photographer is Tim Wright - have a look at his website at www.photoaction.com.
Tim mostly covers regattas - out here in the Caribbean in the winter, and Europe in the summer. There are some amazing photos on his site - he has a reputation for taking pictures straight in front of 140' J class yachts thundering along at 12+knots, and then zooming out of the way at the last second.....

Yes - he really is the business.
I completed an 8 year restoration of an Uffa Fox "Atalanta" in the early '90s and our first sail was up the Solent. Beken photographed us, but said it was a bit late in the afternoon. We called in to the shop in Cowes on the way back. He was not happy with his shot - said the light was all wrong (I thought it looked great !) and would not sell it. But he gave me a print ! He also said that there were several Atalantas in his archive. I found them - taken in '50s and '60s in black and white - bought a couple of copies to help me further the restoration. His shop has the most evocative prints.

Now that really is unkind! Particularly when I had conquered the urge to deride a certain AWB which really isn't photogenic, could have been copied from the brochure, displays all the go-slow goodies confirming that the skipper is only there for the beer, and even suggests that he has been blackballed by his club.
For what it's worth (oops!) this last is a Cinder, described as "a chunky traditional cruiser with handsome lines . . . not fast but predictable and well-liked in her day". So there.
Actually there must be a few of them around. Solitary owners of really ugly designs like Sunriders and Virgos tend to adopt the pretentious title of Owners Association - just for company I s'pose.

Cinder 22
this is an extract of info i have on file
is a very sturdily build little cruiser with a comprehensive inventory and fully ready for next season. Designed by John Westell (who also designed the 505 dinghy and the Nova 27) and moulded by Tylers in 1966 when GRP boats were very heavily layed up; the hull is 22mm thick in the bilges and no doubt thicker in the keel. She has integral iron ballast (1 ton) contained within the moulded long keel. She has undergone a complete refit over the last two winters while layed up in a dry boatshed. The long fin keel has a cutaway fore-foot and the propeller is in an aperture between the keel and the rudder. Tiller steering with the rudder mounted in a stainless steel shoe at the rear of the keel. Topsides repainted in white two-pack polyurethane (International 709) with a blue cove-line in 2004. No sign of osmosis blistering below the waterline. Last surveyed in 2002 and all recommendations (and more) carried out. Blue-book registration document available, although this has not been updated since 1970. Previous sales invoice (RYA format) available. LOA 21ft 6” LWL 18 ft Beam 7ft Draft 3ft 3” Displacement 3960 lbs Ballast 2240 lbs
Engine: Yanmar 1GM single cylinder diesel engine mounted on rubber bearers under the bridge-deck. Rebuilt 2004 with new piston rings, con-rod and big-end bearing. Regularly serviced and winterised, spare filters, alternator belt and water pump impellers. Excellent access to all service points. Fuel consumption typically 1.5 litres/hr at cruising speed. Heater plugs fitted to inlet manifold for cold start with switch on engine control panel and wired into alarm system. Cooling over-heat alarm, and cooling water filter incorporated into the seacock. Engine compartment smoke detector. Steel diesel tank (25 litres) with stopcock and both primary and secondary in-line fuel filters. Reduction (2.21:1) F-N-R gearbox, conventional stainless steel shaft and stern gland (repacked 2004) with 10 x 10” three bladed propeller giving 5 knots cruising speed (@ 2700 rpm) and 6 knots max (@ 3400 rpm). Raw water cooled with stainless steel water trap silencer in the exhaust system, exhaust skin-fitting in transom new 2005. Morse throttle and gear control and alternator driven tachometer in the cockpit. Please note that the outboard engine shown in one of the pictures is not included in the sale.
Sails: Main, Genoa and Spinnaker new in 2001 (Owen Sails) and still in excellent condition. Alloy spinnaker pole and track on mast. Plastimo S608 Genoa Furling gear. Slab reefing on main with all lines lead back to cockpit. White main sail cover.
Rig and Deck: Stainless steel stanchions in bronze sockets with lifelines. Stainless steel pulpit. Silver anodised aluminium mast (completely stripped and rebuilt in 2004) with external halyards. Replacement slab reefing Z-Spars boom with internal lines and new gooseneck fittings (2005). The boom shown in one of the pictures is the old one. All electrical cables (radar, steaming light, VHF antenna) lead internally with a waterproof junction box at the mast base. Standing rigging in 6mm stainless steel new in 2001 with mostly swageless terminals and 10 mm stainless steel bottle screws. Deck painted in International grey non-slip deck paint. Windows replaced with smoked (grey) 6 mm polacrylate through fastened with stainless steel screws to internal plywood backing. Ample hardwood cleats at stern, foredeck and midships. Boathook, deck brush and bucket.
Instruments: JRC 1000 Radar (only 50 hours use) with mast mounted 12" scanner dome, Garmin 128GPS, Navico TP300 autopilot, The GPS can be interfaced with the tiller pilot and the radar, although I have never set this up. Smiths through hull log with spare impeller, Eagle Fish 128 Fishfinder with transducer mounted internally within the keel, Simrad RT 1200 VHF (non-DSC) mounted on the cabin internal bulkhead with fist mike, whip antenna at masthead and cockpit speaker. All instruments along with the engine control panel are conveniently mounted in a lidded box in the bridge-deck and easily viewed from the helming position. Manuals for all instruments available.
12 V Electrical system: Two lead-acid batteries new 2004 (50 Ah engine and 80 Ah domestic) with 150 A and 60 A fuses respectively. Rotary “off-1-2-both” battery change-over switch, voltmeter and ammeter measuring alternator output. Alternator (60 A) mounted on the engine with on/off switch on the engine control panel. Circuit breaker panel mounted in the cabin. Port, starboard, stern and mast steaming lights. Rule 1200 gph electric bilge-pump .
Domestic: The saloon/forecabin has a white GRP headlining (approx 5 ft headroom) and all woodwork is freshly varnished (2004). 12 V lighting throughout. The fore-cabin hull sides are insulated with 1” expanded polyurethane board and lined with hardwood strips with cove lockers above (all new 2005). Fire extinguishers (x2), fire blanket, single burner Primus paraffin stove, stainless steel sink (new seacock 2004), ample galley cupboard and shelf space, including drinks locker. Water pumped from plastic cans with Whale pump. Simpson-Lawrence SL400 sea-toilet (with spares kit) between fore-cabin berths (skin fittings and sea-cocks new 2005). There are two pilot berths (with storage under containing the engine battery) running under the cockpit seats and the two fore-cabin berths convert to a double with a central insert with a hinged hatch to the foredeck above. Large locker for oilskins. CD player/radio wired to ships supply.
Cockpit: Comfortable and secure deep self-draining cockpit protected by blue dodgers with the name in white. Cockpit sole lifts for access to stern-gear and domestic battery. Large lazarette locker containing the stern-gland greaser, fenders, warps, kedge anchor, anchor ball, etc. Manual Whale Gusher bilge-pump. Two Tufnol Gibb genoa winches (regularly serviced) with removable base-mounted handles. All lines (main halyard, kicker, clew outhaul, main and genoa reefing lines) lead back to cockpit through cabin-top mounted organisers and clutches making single handed sailing handling easy. Eye for safety harness lanyard. Full-width main sheet traveller at the rear of the cockpit. Inclinometer on cabin hatchway and Plastimo steering compass beneath the tiller. Horseshoe lifebuoy and flag staff with ensign.
Ground tackle: Main anchor (20 lb CQR) mounted in blocks on foredeck with 30 meters 6 mm galvanised chain in forepeak. 15 lb CQR kedge anchor with 5 meters 6 mm galvanised chain and 10 meters nylon warp stored in lazarette locker.
Other: Red Bombard AX3 inflatable dinghy with oars, pump and repair kit. Flare pack in waterproof canister, gas foghorn (x2) Auxiliary outboard bracket mounted on stern. The boat is currently sitting under cover on a very solid four-wheel yard trailer (refurbished 2004). She was delivered (130 miles) on this trailer, however, the brakes would need attention if it was to be used on the road again.
Comments: sails very well being capable of taking heavy weather in her stride. She will motor-sail to windward in conditions up to force 7 in which she feels very safe and predictable. She is well balanced with no evidence of weather-helm, and with the sails correctly set she will sail herself. At almost 2 tons displacement (ballast ratio 56%) she is not a light weather boat, but comes into her own on a reach when 5 knots is easily maintained in force 4 or above. A maximum of 8 knots has been achieved downwind. Her long keel means that she will safely take the ground against a harbour wall. I have sailed her mostly single-handed and she is well set up for this, although there is room for crew. I have had a great deal of pleasure from owning

Here here!!
Den, who lives near us on the River Blackwater, is a fantastic lady who is always happy to help and chat with you. (She's pretty damn cute as well!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif) She has taken some fantastic shots during our around the island race, Row4AReason, our charity annual rowing race around Northey Island.
Our river always has Thames Barges, Oyster Smacks, and other gaff rigged vessels bobbing about, a fantastic West Solent One Design, 'Mischief', and Den has caught the feeling of our gorgeous part of the world, in her own way. Sepia works well in her work. We have many examples of her work hanging in our home, in our office, and in our two drinking establishments at the Lock.
Thanks Den, great to see you getting national acclaim for a fantastic service to all the boaty community. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Bekens are good as well.
