Thank you for sharing this story and giving us the opportunity to see this magnificent object from the past. It warms me to know that it is in use today and for now, in good hands.
I'm new at this "watching business." I've binge watched the "Tally Ho" restoration from the start. Is it fair to say that I understand what "fair" really means? Watching Leo and others dive right in on a huge job, dedicated to the history and tradition has given me a budding love for the water. Would that I could take a sail on a true wooden masterpiece like "Cornubia" or "Tally Ho" or any other true sailing yacht I do believe I could safely die and be at peace with this world. Such lovely craftsmen and lovely creations.
I appreciate the concern of the owner to maintain as much of the original boat's aesthetics as possible. such boats should really get a second ''life'' in the right hands :)
This boat is wonderful, I would very much like to pilot her! While teaching school, parents taught me Ranger Class Racing on Columbia River. Same parents visited me on San Juan Island bought bigger sailboat! I crewed for Bob's 38' Bayliner, then taught Harry an he let me pilot all his up to 42 Hunter. While I met Mike on Islands let me pilot his 46' Swedish design sailboat! friend Don & I saved 40' Rainbird moored at Friday Harbor, so I love sailing an This boat is, like I said,"Wonderful"! I should like you to know I have scuba equipm., air compressor, underwater color torpedo infrared light camera on 300' of cable, enough fishing equip for guide service, hahaha!
4:04 The main sheet deck attachment is a work of genius. I've not seen that set-up before but instantly see the great value of it. What would be it's name?
Don't use stainless shackles, as advised in this video, but not just because they look wrong on a pilot cutter, but because they fail. Galvanised shackles are stronger. I used some stainless shackles on my gaff ketch in 1980, and got rid of them before the end of the year because of two shackles carrying away.
Tony is referring to weather helm which is the opposite to 'lee helm'. Weather helm means the boat has a tendency to gently come up to windward (close to the wind), this is much more ideal than the boat wanting to go down wind. Both weather helm and lee helm are phenomenas related to the balance and trim of the boat.
I was told, that a yacht should go gently to windward..Weathercocks her if hit by a gust and not turn down wind, exposing all the sail plan to the gust?
Ocean going ships travel to different ports all over the world and they cannot know all of them well. A pilot cutter brings a "pilot" out to a ship to guide it through the port or a channel etc. A local expert so to speak. If a ship is coming in, the pilot cutter has to go out no matter the weather. Dangerous work and transferring the pilot must have been hair raising.
Pilot cutters were designed for the Bristol Channel in England. The name's derived the use of a type of boat, a "cutter" that would need to deliver a pilot to a large ship before entering the channel in order to safely navigate / deliver cargo up river. The Bristol Channel has the second largest tidal range in the world hence the need for a pilot.

I love those cutters they are as spartan a vessel as has ever sailed… they are Britain in many ways

A breathtaking beauty!
I wish they'd done a full tour of the interior. Seems like there was more to see. Still, a gorgeous vessel. I hope the new owner loves her.
I'll see if we can pull some interiors out for you :-)
@@ClassicYachtTV please to I'm dieing to explore this ship
Thank you for the restoration..... So glad to see Hirta still going strong.
Where do I know the name "Hirta", was she featured in a film/documentry ? A beautiful boat..
john wheatley may be in many videos. Hirta was her name when Tom Cunliffe owned her.
dazzelingly beautiful boat and an owner with his mind on the right track!
Glad you like her - yes Tony has got the right kind of attitude.
Stunning. I don't think I could bring myself to part with such a beautiful boat if I was ever fortunate to own her!
Beautiful job.
It must be a pure joy to sail her.
As beautiful a boat as there is to see, and a well done video to describe her.
Thanks Iain!
What a yacht, ladies and gentlemen! Astonishing woodwork: built to last.
What a wonderful boat.
The boat simply glides in the slightest of wind , fantastic , artful , quick !
Absolutely superb vessel ,beautiful classic design. Many thanks
Yes she's pretty awesome, thanks for checking in with us.
She’s a beautiful boat.
Amazing little ship, yes. Glad you like her too.
Inspirational restoration. Beautiful at anchor and underway. His love affair with Cornubia could warm the coldest of hearts.
"An exceptional boat" he says...... What an understatement! 👍
😮love this lady, stunning boat .
I appreciate the concern of the owner to maintain as much of the original boat's aesthetics as possible. such boats should really get a second ''life'' in the right hands :)
Colonel Bill Tilman loved these craft; Mischief and Sea Breeze were his two favorites. His adventures are re-counted in Total Loss.
Beautiful boat ❤
Wow. Learning about this Pilot Cutter class and it´s amazing.
And even Majestic at all.
One great boat everything
Beautiful. Only in my dreams.
wow--that paint scheme REALLY makes this boat beautiful ! what a stunner.....
Absolute gorgeous boat!!! Thanks for sharing
Good god , that is beautiful.

If I believed in past lives I was a captain of a Pilot Cutter like this one. My hearts drawn to these beautiful ships.
The most beautiful wooden ship I`ll never have the pleasure of sailing on. But I can always build a model of one and dream. Bravo.

Curious as to what kind fo speeds these cutters could make.
4:04 The main sheet deck attachment is a work of genius. I've not seen that set-up before but instantly see the great value of it. What would be it's name?
Richard H Yes, why do I have an expensive track when this show absorbed system exists.
Umm, I think it was devised by Tony him self. I'll ask for you...
WHAT A DREAM!......
Can this beautiful boat cross the big blues?
im in love
👍👍👍

what does he mean when he says 'gently fighting you to get to windward?' does this mean the ship automatically turns into the wind?
Tony is referring to weather helm which is the opposite to 'lee helm'. Weather helm means the boat has a tendency to gently come up to windward (close to the wind), this is much more ideal than the boat wanting to go down wind. Both weather helm and lee helm are phenomenas related to the balance and trim of the boat.

Has Tom Cunliffe seen it as it is now, I would love to see that
I'm sure he has!!
WOOOOHAAAWWW !!!
No possibility to reef main or staysail?
Of course!
@@boatphotographer You would say so. But where is the associated rigging? at 1"25 it should be visible.
@@boatphotographero.k. maybe it's a rolling boom.
Yes both Mascotte and Cornubia have roller reefing. Not sure if there’s a shot of that gear on the boom in this video (which I shot and edited).
@@boatphotographerthanks! Nice video work too!
How fast?
wow
I'll take it when hes' done with it.
What does the B y on the sail mean?
'By' signifies Barry which is the port the pilot commissioning the boat was registered at.
Thank You@@ClassicYachtTV
what is a pilot cutters purpose?

A pilot cutter brings a "pilot" out to a ship to guide it through the port or a channel etc. A local expert so to speak. If a ship is coming in, the pilot cutter has to go out no matter the weather.

Imagine,
Rough Seas
Short handed
Fast
Perfect cruising formula!
Needs accurate captions by someone (I'm looking at you Classic Yacht) that understands what Tony Winter is saying.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We will look at captioning in future
I WANT IT *start hyperventilating*
I don't like the stern with all that overhang, or as sailors say unsupported weight, better to have a longer waterline length
youd hate mine then
