CAMBRIA (along with her 75-feet waterline length cousins ASTRA and CANDIDA, the first three ‘Big Class’ yachts to be bermudan-rigged from launch) has long been dubbed a 23-Metre. However, while designed to rate around that figure under the International Rule, a key element of her survival into the 21st Century – still a magnificent racer-cruiser; every sweet William Fife III curve still in place while supporting perhaps the tallest of all truly wooden masts – is her stout original construction to Lloyd’s then highest specifications for wood and wood-composite yachts, rather than to the lighter International Rule scantlings. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/792/william-fife-iii-111ft-big-class-cutter-19282016 Thus CAMBRIA, adored, maintained and respected for most of her life, has remarkably never required a total rebuild restoration. Her soul remains intact through recent major refits “sympathetic to her origins and respectful of her history”, and this is immediately apparent on first stepping aboard this happy, beautiful, historic, and very special classic yacht.

Sidelined by a hand injury, he's back on deck, fixing his sailboat. Now facing reefing limitations, he considers in-boom furling—if only he could find his tools! #Sailing #BoatRepair #InBoomFurling #DIY #Sailboat
