    I just remembered. Watching movie “inside Daisy Clover” starring Robert Redford snd Natalie wood , the actors retire to his small yacht anchored off a California beach (will hollywood ever learn) .. but anyway the boat I am most certain was an Owens cutter. !! So the h 41 fore bearer was a movie star!!!

      Yes, and that same boat was owned by the Original "Tiffany Jane".
      We had a great kid on the crew we called Tony; a decade later he would, as Ltjg Goose, give his all for Maverick.
      This boat spent the shooting on the lot, and the sailing scenes were another design, not sure but like a K40.
      Wade Lewis' actual sail number was 7715, the main on the boom behind his and Daisy's heads. We spent many happy summer days sitting in that very spot at Cherry Cove.
      I'm just getting started, that's all for now.
      Thanks for bringing it up. I didn't want to be overbearing or nuthin!

Then you started putting videos in front of me of very nice boats, older and newer, that began to stir my juices of want. But now you have killed me with your presentations of the Alden 44, Ted Brewer Steel 44 and this boat! I want each of them, all of them, any of them! Dammmmmm!!

    Good to know the Captain is only three years older than I am. I was thinking I was a dinosaur! And an antique General Mills lover. My GM dream car was a Chevy Nomad that came out around the same time the Vette did. My Nomad was a ‘56 and I had her for more than 40 years.

    I delivered Sudeed a Competition 41 from Southwest Harbor to Bermuda for Hinkley in October 1974. Ed Solemon the owner, his manager Dick Homer, with a couple from Ontario were aboard on this delivery. Leaving Ambrose LT and planning a straight shot to Hamilton. The forecast looked OK, yet we got into a depression some 23hrs after leaving the Jersey shore. Not only did Sudeed handle well in the Tropical depression, as we were bare poled with sea anchor secured to her starboard quarter, she kept us alive. A true test of design!

      Dainty Moore is great when you’re really hungry after a long watch or when you have a bottle of really good wine. I spent 16 days at n a catamaran crossing the Caribbean from east to west with 2 guys who provisioned the boat with beans and rice and Mac & cheese. I can’t tell you how much longed for a can of Dinty Moore when I finished my 4-8 watch.

      Dinty Moore is a staple. Many offshore races, never witnessed a time when there wasn't at least a couple cans on board. Heck, working in the oil fields, we would warm up a can on the exhaust manifold of a diesel engine.

    This video really brought home how far we have advanced since the mid-sixty's. This boat is a fine museum piece, a real piece of history, and dockside she will drop the jaw's of sailors everywhere. From a naval architecture point of view she is a heavy beast with a very narrow beam, and cramped spaces every where you go down below. Who would buy this boat and why would they buy it? I can't say for sure, I think a museum would be the best shot. From a practical sailing point of view, what is the sweet spot for this boat, one area of sailing where she will excel? This one I can answer and those conditions would be off shore in a serious seaway with the wind blowing in the low forty's, gusting to the mid-fifty's. In these conditions you would have a boat that performs on a level with any boat built today, but this is where the party ends for this old girl. In light or moderate wind this boat would be slower than molasse's and to actually get anywhere far away would require a very large fuel tank for the undersized engine, or the patients of a Monk. Thanks for the nice video, Capt. Q - keep them coming!

      This could lead to a highly interesting conversation but speed snd volume comparisons of older to new boats is all somewhat moot but suffice it to say. That a newer boat might make 2 kts more than the h41 going from a to b when you get to b I think I will turn snd admire the launch taking me ashore and mine er bother to take a second look at the latest fin keeled Euopean marvels of conspicuous consumption. This is my feelings and even give a new boat five feet longer with threes “staterooms” and en-suite heads I would take the h 41 the 41 has a soul the other is clueless. And have you ever raced one of these older boats yourself Especially in light air you will find interesting results.
      All just my feelings
      And here is an interesting article with a third view

      @@YachtHunters - Yes, I owned, lived aboard and sailed a Bristol 40 for about 5 years. Made several long passages, 2 Bermuda cruises from New England and back, then a sail around the pond that started with a northern crossing and then back to the west on a southern crossing, so yes, I absolutely am familiar with older long keel boats of this nature. You are correct that good speed could be made in moderate conditions, but you had to be willing to fly some sail to make her go. We carried a 170 and used it a lot of the time, but the real trick to making these type of hulls sail was to move the center of effort forward in the sail plan. I have found this to be true regardless of the builder or model when it comes to full keel boats. Bristol made this modification to the 40 by adding a bow spirit which extended the fore triangle about three feet, they also made this modification with an inner stay that was anchored at the stem head where the old Genny used to tack from. We had Bristol make this modification on our boat and it was a very nice improvement, and the boat was now fast and balanced in moderate wind, but again we flew a lot of canvas to make everything come together.
      When we sold the B40 our next boat was a Valiant 42 that we had built for us in Texas, and what a wonderful sea boat she was. We loved our B40 but this Valiant made us forget about her in short order. The V42 was a much faster boat (and far bigger down below) in all conditions and a much easier boat to sail at speed than the Bristol. So I guess this is where my opinions come from, comparing a V42 to the B40. The V42 had a long keel, but not a full keel, and a skeg hung rudder. Let me add that this Hinckley, or a B40 with the fore triangle extended made for very easy heavy weather sailing, because with a blade on the inner stay and a deep reef in the main, you could sail through a hurricane! Nice talking boats with you, Capt. Q - You have a new subscriber.

      Your boats are great and I can understand the move From the one to the other.

    Thank you for bringing forth some of the Progeny of the Owens Cutter family. After growing up in Western New York I’m most familiar with the BORSAW part of the story. BORSAW stood for the initials of the original six investors who had the boats built and also the names of the six boats. The last time I heard both Bear and Aries are still active the Western New York area.
    It would be interesting if you stumbled into a Block Island 40 to compare and contrast with a Hinckley 40 some day.
