HELEN is the first in a remarkable triptych of late 1930s 3rd International Rule 8-Metres drawn by experienced designer to the Rule and Olympic gold medal winning helmsman Sir Thomas Glen-Coats; built on the Clyde in consecutive years at the Mylne family’s Bute Slip Dock Co. yard, where Glen-Coats was a director and major backer. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/765/HELEN They were among the last full keel 8mRs built in Britain and represent the pinnacle of truly classic 8-Metre design. At the end of her initial class-racing days, conversion by her original builder to an able, and of course fast, cruiser-racer kept HELEN very much alive, so that when the 8-Metre Class revival began in the early 2000s, she was a natural subject for restoration and application of the subtle authenticity and performance treatments allowed under the Sira Cup World Championship Rules for boats built before 1960. HELEN is very well equipped and optimised to be competitive at the next major 8mR championship and simply to be enjoyed as a supremely elegant and fleet of foot day/ weekend racer-cruiser.

Enzo vous explique la diversité de son métier à travers l'agencement intérieur des voiliers, OVNI et Cigale. En effet, le métier de menuisier/ébéniste ne s'arrête pas à la fabrication et l'installation des meubles. L'aménagement des bateaux commence par l'isolation ainsi que l’installation des planchers, la fabrication, le montage et l’ajustage des meubles et l'installation des plans de travail en résine de synthèse et les vaigrages. Il s'agit donc d'un rôle très complet amenant nos compagnons à travailler différentes matières et essences de bois. ENGLISH PRESENTATION Enzo explains you the diversity of his daily job through the interior arrangement of the OVNI and Cigale yachts. Indeed, the trade of carpenter / cabinetmaker does not stop with the manufacture and installation of furnitures. The fitting out of the boats begins with the insulation as well as the installation of the floors, the manufacture, assembly and adjustment of the furnitures and the installation of the synthetic resin working plans and linings. It is therefore a very complete role, leading our companions to work with different materials and wood species.

During a flying visit by FPB 78-02 GREY WOLF II, to our Berthon International HQ, in late February - we chatted with owner and long-time Berthon supporter Peter Watson to discuss his incredible adventures. After granting us access to Project GREY WOLF's extensive archive of photos and video, he got on camera with Managing Director Sue Grant to discuss his 2 FPBs, and their capability for some serious long-distance cruising. --- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/berthoninternational/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/berthon-international/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/berthoninternational/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/BerthonIntl Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.co.uk/berthoninternational/ Title: FPB 78-02 GREY WOLF II in Antarctica - Berthon International Previous Video: Malo 39 (ZARZURA) with Magnus Kullberg - Yacht for Sale - Berthon International Yacht Brokers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttXK5N5cwVs #dashewoffshore #setsailfpb #fpb78 #antarctica #Shorts
