Sailboat Repairs; U-Bolts Installed. As we near completion for our major sailboat repairs-our excitement mounts. These are the U-Bolts that we had specially machined, here in Anacortes to hold our mast. They extend through the chainplates to the interior of our Sceptre 41. We plan to be sailing in about two weeks towards B.C., where we will be spending 2-3 months doing our 'shakedown cruise', before heading south.

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.
