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.

Sailing in the Bahamas is not all hot and sunny! This video shows the cold front arriving on Jan 23rd. The only good thing was we collected 150L of drinking water in 30 minutes....It could have been more if I had been brave enough to go outside to swap over tanks

Benvenuti a bordo della nostra entusiasmante serie di video didattici sulla vela! Oggi vedremo come realizzare un "Nodo Piano", un compagno indispensabile per ogni velista che si rispetti. Questo nodo, noto anche come "Nodo Piatto", è utilizzato per unire due cime di uguale sezione. E' molto affidabile ed offre un'ottima garanzia di tenuta. Come tutti i nodi ben fatti si sciogliere quando lo desideriamo in maniera molto semplice. Immaginatevi di navigare in acque tranquille, il vento che sussurra tra le vele e il sole che dipinge riflessi scintillanti sull'acqua. È qui che il "Nodo Piano" entra in scena, offrendo una soluzione affidabile per unire due estremità di cavi o corde. La sua facilità di esecuzione e la robustezza del legame che crea lo rendono ideale per fissare saldamente attrezzature, ancoraggi e molto altro ancora. Che siate principianti alla ricerca di nozioni di base o navigatori esperti desiderosi di perfezionare la propria tecnica, questo video è pensato per tutti gli amanti della vela che vogliono migliorare le proprie abilità. Imparate con noi a trasformare la navigazione in un'esperienza ancora più gratificante! Preparatevi a salpare con il "Nodo Piano" e a rendere la vostra avventura in mare ancor più straordinaria.
