O yes please she is just fine, I think the peeps on here would just love to see and learn more about her.
After all she played an important part all be it may be only a small one 'no pun intended' in our history.

Hi Breda,
There seem to be lots of simularities in looks between our two boats which makes me particularly interested in yours.
Have you managed to keep the internals fairly original? I have been very lucky with mine as the previous owner had her for about 25 years and tended to keep adding extras rather than replacing items, so for example the art deco syle fittings on mine are still all there. Were you so lucky?
Don't worry about borring us, most of us here are nuts about old boats and would be very interested.
best wishes

Breda is certainly exquisitly beautiful for sure - and she really shows up that very modern motor yacht behind her.
Nigel Irens seems to be recognising that not everybody wants modern looking motor boats these days, and he has designed a few with classic lines, such as Molly Ban here http://www.nigelirens.demon.co.uk/FRAMEnewprojects3.htm
although I do think that Breda is much prettier.
Here are a few more lovely sailing vessel's for this thread's collection :
First, a trio of Sparkman & Stephens yawls from the 1930's - Dorade, Argyll and Stormy Weather :
Isn't this one gorgeous sheerline?
And Stormy Weather at Bequia Easter Regatta :
I have lots more photos of other lovely vessels like Walkabout and Mirelle (who are Alden sisterships) and Violet (who is another Zulu, rather like Ocean Pearl) - I'll post some of these later.

No Alan I wasn't so lucky /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif When I bought her I thought the rear cabins were original but the more I've found out the more I think they where built in the '50s or 60's.
Unfortunately she seems to have suffered a lot of 'renovation' in the 70's - original paneling & furniture ripped out, steps built from the wheelhouse to the rear deck, painting the superstructure sides white etc.
I've basically gutted her, found a lot of rot which is 75% repaired and about to refit her as sympathetically as I can. Ironically it seems that anything rotten is the work done in the 60's and 70's whereas the original Brookes' work is amazingly sound.
Regards
Simon.

Because you can never see too many photographs of beautiful boats!
The Swn Y Mor, an ex-RNLI lifeboat.
Moya, a Morecambe Bay Prawner, or Nobby, although I believe that she never actually fished and was built as a yacht.

Been a busy boy here in San Diego. Therapy is a Rhodes 33 one design that I rescued from before the chainsaw. Hope to have her floating by the end of the year & racing at the Balboa Island yacht club open day in mid 2009. Seeing her join the remaining 6 of 46 built will be magic. Lots to do but I couldnt let something so beautiful & rare disappear for good. She is three times older than I am!!!

Re: Bosun of Forth
hi again, just been going through your posts and I saw a pic...it is the same boat I knew when she was owned by Peter Clayton who I sailed with from Heybridge Basin to Venezuela in '87. Good to see she is still afloat and loved!
