RENDEZVOUS BREST
A photo essay of 30 years of the Brest Festival held every four years (but not 2020) since 1992 in Brittany. Some 2,000 vessels - from canoes to Tall Ships take part bringing 10,000 crew into this operational naval port. The organisers expect anything from 750,000 to 1m visitors.
The photos are from the bilingual book CELEBRATING TRADITIONAL BOATS / LES FÊTES MARITIMES DE BREST by Nigel Pert with captions and some explanatory notes by Dan Houston. It is a 'landscape' style coffee table book with high production values - on sale (through Amazon) or from classicsailor.com

Sailing aboard Mariquita - one of the most beautiful yachts in the world. The 125ft Fife design built to the International 19-M rule in 1911, survived in a mud berth on Britain's east coast from World War 2 until she was discovered and restored to sail and race again. And she's just a little bit more than awesome... More at classicsailor.com classicsailor.com/
Arthur, Nancy... & Me

This video is about Peter Willis and his passion for Arthur Ransome's 1930s yacht Nancy Blackett, which inspired the 1937 children's novel We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea. The 28ft 6in (8.68m) wooden boat is owned by a charitable trust and kept in original sailing condition to be used by members. She is based on the River Orwell in Suffolk - which is where Ransome began his novel.

    Please add me to the grateful few that have their work on display at Des's museum. As I was watching this interesting video, at about 5:18 into it, the table of knotwork was so interesting, I went back to inspect it again. I was especially interested in a key fob that looked like a few I had made back in the 70's and as I enlarged the image, I saw my name on the ticket and almost fell out of my chair. I will have to start making some more, though at 77, I might be a little slower doing it. What a surprise and much gratitude for including my small work alongside those other fine examples of the art of knot tying. (The name on the ticket is Bill Bogel, as is mine.)

    Cool, but how well does it perform compared to a spinnaker?

    • @squarerigapprentice
      @squarerigapprentice Год назад

      I actually wish there were more modern examples so comparison could be made. Really the racing scene drove innovation in production boats through most of the last century, and the spinnaker sort of wiped the square sail out of existance, ironically I don't think it was because it was necessarily better, its a totally different type of sail . Earlier on it was commonplace for all gaff rigged ocean going yachts to have a square sail that would be used on downwind passages, square sails were very stable and powerful in tradewind conditions, the yard spreading the head of the sail kept it nice and controlled, you could trim it easily with braces leading aft, and you wouldn't have to gybe any booms over going downwind in a bigger sea, just small bracing adjustments and sheets. Square sails were generally not made super light like spinnakers, as they were considered a work horse for almost all weather. typically they were the same weight of cloth as the mainsail. Spinnaker is much better for flat water and light wind, unquestionably. But a square sail is more stable and controlled in a seaway, less dangerous than a huge nylon sym spin deflating with a roll of the boat off a wave and inflating in big gusts, and then theres gybing a spinnaker in a seaway. Really it is illogical that square sails arent still common on offshore cruising yachts.

And yeah I do think the fact all modern boats try to be raceboats is rather lame, when it gets to the point people start seriously suggesting putting foils on cruisers you know it's gotten to the point of illogical ridiculousness.
