- His Majesty King George V was a sailing and racing enthusiast, His beloved racing yacht "Britannia" was built in 1893 for Queen Victorias son Prince Albert Edward. She served King Albert Edward, and his son, King George V with a legendary racing career.
Britannia set the standard for yacht design, yachting writers referred to her shape as the Britannia ideal. She was a handsome vessel; Henderson's built her light and strong, "the perfect race yacht."
In 1920, King George V triggered the revival of Big Class Yachts by announcing that Britannia would be refit for racing. Although Britannia was the oldest yacht in the circuit, regular updates to her rig kept her a most successful racer throughout the 1920s. In 1931, she was converted to the J-Class with a Bermuda rig. During her 40 year racing career she won 231 races and took another 129 flags.
King George V's dying wish was for his beloved yacht to follow him to the grave, so upon his death in 1936, in honor of the late Kings wishes Britanna was towed out to St. Catherine's Deep near the Isle of Wight and sent to rest beneath the waves, with a simple garland of flowers placed on her stem-head.

5 They built her once again my lads it filled there hearts with pride…
to see her driven by the wind and sail against the tide
On the waters off the Isle of Wight she sailed again into the the Solent night.
Fantastic!! This is a dream for an earlier owner of a R8 yacht - the Swedish Anne Sophie - together with my good friend Per Wermelin. Jan WIhlborg
I am always surprised at the slings used to lift sea going craft where they have been known to slip and the craft slides out often to costly repairs, especially when the two slings are not attached to each others lower end.
" *Often* ", under what definition do you claim that? (I am not being facetious nor cynical, merely intrigued.)
🔸As a percentage or odds, how frequently does a "...sea going craft... slip and... slides out..."?
🔸Is there a common reason why they have done so?
🔸Is it primarily a human, materials, or process issue/failure?
I was delighted to be asked to write the music for the project. Below are the words to my sea shanty Scott has the mp3 track. I hope people will sing this at every destination.
Britannia Queen of the sea. Words & Music Peter Clarke
so cool. I love the britannia
Where's the boat?
The shop made money, is it still there?
Someone just got a degree in video production. Voice over and tracking were from two different eras.
Can someone tell me the name of the soundtrack?
How fabulous to see the magnificent yachts racing. I am proud of my Great Grandfather Lord Waring who owned the J-Class yacht White Heather II which raced with the Britannia and is seen on this video. K1 Britannia is a tremendous project.
I am eager to share my photographs and information about the J-class yachts,
Best wishes
Please contact asap, am interested...t
Comments from the petty bourgeois. The ancient greedy self-absorbed and pretentious dilettantes
Notice how he's not responding, because there's no money in it.
He's not petty, hes jewish
Dit waren de zwanen .
Is she built yet ?
Where is the boat? What is happening with it?
project is dead in the w 'em dry dock in South Hampton.
This has to be one of the most annoying videos on RUclips. The frantic editing and playing with special effects is completely out of synchronisation of the voice over. In the end the only piece worth watching was the historic film of the original yacht.
3 Built upon the River Clyde she sailed out on the April tide
To win great races far and wide Britannia queen of the sea.
4 King George V he did decree that when I die she dies with me
Her timbers lie beneath the sea Britannia queen of the sea
the America kicks its ass and so the Americas Cup is born.
america kicks its own ass and it should
'Challenged youth' is being teached how to built her, but doubt if they will be teached the fun part, sailing her.
How egocentric of the king to order the original yacht to be sunk upon his death , a disgrace and an insult to all those who designed and created the original Brittania.
If I cant have it no one else will either !
There a strange lot, the Royals!
Here's an idea, let's build a giant yacht using other people's money because I need a tax deduction .... And a timeshare 🤗
A voir
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So where is this project now?
Was it all a fancy presentation hoping for endless cash of others to fill in the costs and dreams for someone else?
I understand that the hull was rotten. She is/was sitting on a mooring off Hythe in Southampton - The Russians build boats out of poor material which doesn't last. Some people lost a lot of money
for charity my ass!
6 Raise your glasses to her lads she’s on the open sea at last
Again we’ll sail beneath the mast of Britannia queen of the sea.
7 Raise your glasses one again to all the girls and all the men
Who helped the lady sail again Britannia queen of the sea.
What is the definition of "rebuilt". This is not Britannia, it is a built-from-scratch replica.
Not even a faithful one: "with full modern amenities".
I fear this yacht is going to live a life of being misrepresented to the young. What else can "come on board and be part of her history" mean ?
Incidentally...how more clearly can we see the incredible selfish arrogance of kingship, than in her royal owner's decision to destroy her. How did the craftsmen who created the original vessel feel ?
Lyndar Lehane "Rebuilt" just means it was built again in lieu of the old one being destroyed/damaged/
1 Gather round and listen lads I’ll tell you tales beneath the mast
of the King of England’s sailing gaff Britannia queen of the sea.
2 The year of 1893 a week ahead of Valkyrie
She first set sail upon the sea Britannia queen of the sea
Terrible no regard to the thousands of hours it took for the craftsman that built her.
Another vid completely wrecked by that bloke annoying chap messing about on his Casio keyboard all the way through.
Scuttling the hull was a stupid thing to do. Typical British fuzzy thinking: romantic, nostalgia, poignant, meaningless. Almost all British bad decisions over a 100 years would have been reversed by a panel of American college students.
+Clyde Cessna thank god that can't happen!
nothing to do with' the British'. It was the private property of King George V and he decreed it in his will. I am sure most people world wide would feel it is up to an individual to decide how he disposes of his private property, especially as it pertains to their last will and testament.
shut up clyde!
