There came a point in Luke Powell’s long lifetime in boats when he realised that the wooden ones, and the skills to build them, were disappearing. He decided to do something about it the only way he knew - hands-on. Since moving to Cornwall from Kent in the 1990s, the result of this labour of love is a fleet of beautifully, traditionally built pilot cutters: EVE, LIZZIE MAY, AGNES, HESPER, EZIRA, TALLULAH, AMELIE ROSE, FREYA, and the largest yet, the remarkable PELLEW, in which Luke had the time and the task to pass-on his accumulated knowledge to a future generation. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/747/PELLEW In preserving skills in this way, the wonderful by-product has been to create a desire for experiencing and owning these vessels. As Luke says: “There’s something quite profound about being on something that is not of our time... When you sail on a boat like this, it’s a time machine; it takes you back to another place; it’s not just an object of conveyance. Whereas a modern boat is like a car - just a factory made object that does no more than take you from A to B - PELLEW takes you through time and space.” PELLEW is a faithful recreation of one of the longest surviving and best documented of Falmouth’s Pilot cutters, VINCENT. The original boat was built in 1852 for the Vincent family of St Mawes. She worked for 70 years until she was retired in 1922, ending her days on the Percuil River as a house-boat. After four years in conception and build, on Saturday 29th February 2020 PELLEW joined a select group of leap year launched vessels when she was gently craned into the Truro River. One of the largest and fastest Pilot Cutters to be built in modern times, PELLEW has subsequently enjoyed the busy life of a successful charter boat. There is nothing like her.

Sortie organisée pour observer la ponte des tortues. Plage de Moya. Je précise que nous avons pris toutes les précautions pour ne pas déranger ces animaux sensibles : pas de lumière vers le lagon, pas observation lorsque les tortues creusent leur trou, pas de bruit, petit comité, etc.

► The aluminum catamaran that we discovered just over two years ago in Hellevoetsluis, in the south of the Netherlands, is without doubt one of the only 40-foot catamarans on the market to adopt this robust, 100% recyclable material. Vann Yachts’ eco-responsible approach is also reflected in the use of electric motors and the adoption of non-polluting and/or recyclable materials, such as the highly successful new headlinings fitted to the R4 #2 presented at Cannes. In addition to these first two R4s, the builder has already launched two R5s, and two more catamarans are currently in production. A great success story for this young company... ► Builder: Vaan Yachts Length: 42’ (12.8 m) Beam: 23’2” (7.06 m) Draft: 4’3”/6’5” (1.3/1.95 m) Displacement: 24,000 lbs (10.9 t) Mainsail: 592 sq ft (55 m²) Solent: 323 sq ft (30 m²) Gennaker: 1,453 sq ft (135m²) Engines: 2 x 10 or 15 kW ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
