Lets see them

Re: Lets see them re Cleone

Can you tell how much the stern has changed, it looks a working boat with the stern section from that added.

A few more Falmouth Working Boats racing on a Saturday.

Re: Lets see them re Cleone

The counter has only lengthened by the rise of about two planks, so about 8" on the original length as built. She has always had a graceful counter stern, only these days its a bit longer. She never had the now common flat transom. Does this one help?

I can supply some old images of her pre-refit but that will have to wait till tomorrow night.
 
Re: Lets see them re Cleone

Here are some from the Dutch Classic Yacht Regatta last year. Many more including pointy trangular sails on their web site.

Cleone has many similarities to East coast yachts of that period.

Hey Thanks Old Harry. I'm now trying to figure out who you are?!
They are great pics too, that was just after our first sail EVER! Can't wait to get going again this year. Roll on Spring!

Great pics of Transcur too. You can see why she wins so many races..... In the top pic, are you really in control????
What purchase do you have on your jib and stays'l, or do you have a wxxxh?

Great thread this, keep posting everyone! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Top pic was the main Gaffers race in Hellevoetlsluis in August 2007. Control --- whats that? Wife on the helm, and me trying to get the towstaysail in harder using a smallhandybilly tackle . Yes I did then get the main in more,photographers just to impatient to get the picture. What are Wxxxes. Never heard of them. Jib has no tackle, just smart work getting it in. I dont do that.

Nice to see Ocean Pearl in commission.

Old git with beard on battered Trident 24 called Spin, 2nd boat to stbd on the way up Prinstead creek to Thornham. I'll give you a shout next time our paths cross - 'passed time of day' once or twice when you were fitting out Pearl at Thornham, so took the pics at OGA but did not know where to send them as you had 'gone sailing'!

Congrats on juniors arrival, too!
 
Re: Lets see them re Cleone

Now that's what I call a topsail! Great photos. I still think Cleone was cornish built as she is very narrow in the beam for her size, in an almost 5:1 ratio. Bit of a pig to tack as wel, but that's probably just the ballasting.

Here's an old pre-restoration pic that gives a very good idea of her narrow lines.

As for Ocean Pearl, what a babe! But you need a bit of a crew to saill her though don't you, Seanick?
 
I thought I was being original when I painted my boat 25 years ago in light blue hull with dark blue bulwarks. Now I notice a high proportion of classic boats use the colour scheme.

Time to change again I think!
 
Re: Lets see them re Cleone

Thanks Guys terrific photos from all. We should do this more often on here.
I now have the inspiration to push on with my restoration of Mercia III and get her back on the water soon.
I am very envious of the likes of "Victorious and Roach1948" and others all lovely jobs of work and a credit to their owners and more over back on the water.
But as some will know I have become involved with another project a Maurice Griffiths "Cockler" hopefully she is more a clean up job than a full restore, more on her soon.
