PEGGY BAWN is a rare thing indeed. The number of surviving vessels from pioneering Clydeside yacht designer George Lennox Watson’s lifetime (1851-1904) can be counted on a careless carpenter’s fingers. Long gone are his huge America’s Cup challengers and “Big Class” racing yachts, and only two of the fleet of palatial steam yachts – the superyachts of their day – from his Glasgow drawing boards are known to survive, in fabulous condition although barely recognisable from their original appearance. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/302/PEGGY%20BAWN It is left to PEGGY BAWN to carry the flame for Watson’s groundbreaking mid-1890s work in setting the standard for moderation in sailing yacht design, work that has never been challenged – only endorsed by those who followed his lead through the 20th century, especially Olin J. Stephens, who was a self-confessed Watson fan. PEGGY BAWN’s gilded “fiddle” bow was anachronistic even at her launching in 1894, partly a past fad, partly practical, undoubtedly beautiful – an interim stage in the development of extending immersed waterlines for faster sailing when heeled with a more buoyant hull – but it conceals the fact that when her award-winning restoration team began assessing what they’d found in a County Waterford hay barn in 2003, they quickly realised that the “numbers” – yacht designer speak for the various ratios that define a hull – were simply a scaled-down version of those for Watson’s famous royal racing cutter Britannia of 1893. Her name gave rise to the so called “Britannia Ideal”, as she was and is considered the epitome of sea kindliness. PEGGY BAWN's present owner can vouch for that from fourteen seasons of racing and cruising aboard her in northern and Mediterranean Europe, and east coast USA. PEGGY BAWN is quite simply the best behaved yacht any of them had had the pleasure to sail. And her rebuild and restoration set new standards for documentation and authenticity. She's special. #classicboat #sailboat #shortsfeed #sailing

How to look after your well-being whether you’re on board, or off! Guys I was TOO EXCITED when AG1 wanted to partner up as ive been drinking their product for some time now and reaping the benefits! Each morning we naturally wake up tense and dehydrated….its normal to lose 1/2 inch in height as our spine & muscles shorten and at least 1 pound in water just through overnight breathing and basic physical processes…. Here are 2 morning micro-habits that I try to prioritise with this in mind each and every day. 💚 Find a small space and stretch. You don’t have to go crazy - even 5 minutes is enough but could keep you more mobile & less stressed for life! 💚 Hydrate with AG1 whilst providing my body with a flood of vitamins, minerals and pre/probiotics without the need for a multitude of pills. For simple and easy yoga flows & for your daily nutritional boost find BoatFit on YouTube & click this AG1 (which currently includes a great offer) link - http://www.athleticgreens.com/hollyblue Health doesn’t have to be complicated and neither does your lifestyle 🌱 Le
