It would be wonderful to win, so please cast your vote here: https://awards.classicboat.co.uk/restoration-of-the-year-under-40ft/ Our friends over at Berthon Boat Company have been nominated for the Classic Boat Awards, in the category ‘Restored sailing vessel under 40ft' for the extensive restoration of Brynhilde, a 1958 Fred Parker 10-metre wooden Bermudian sloop. https://www.youtube.com/c/BerthonBoats This is a testament to the extensive refit, expertly performed by Berthon’s highly skilled team. Well done to all who were involved in returning this beautiful classic sailing yacht to its former glory. The following series captures the extensive restoration of Brynhilde, a 1958 Fred Parker 10-metre wooden Bermudian sloop, who arrived here at Berthon on the 4th October 2019. She has been in her present family’s ownership for the past 40 years, competing in the Hill Robinson sponsored regattas in the south of France for over a decade, and most recently sailed at the 2021 Monaco Classic Week – La Belle Classe. Arriving for a deck replacement but undergoing broad further works, Brynhilde is a beautiful example of a timeless yacht refitted to an incredibly high standard. Traditional skills were used throughout this project. A talented team of Shipwrights, Engineers, Electricians, Riggers and Painters led by Dave Bolwell, more fondly known as Curly, dedicated thousands of hours to the careful refurbishment of a well-loved family yacht. - Restoration Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLebSOrLsZM0Rr8Ca3NsnONk6tSqyUxQHt - Project Overview https://youtu.be/PKEd8WPQMj8 PART 1 - Arrival & Inspection https://youtu.be/zuZ-W80fBIk PART 2 - Exterior Restoration https://youtu.be/tw2LO662mB4 PART 3 - New Deck https://youtu.be/hh1IVTRsHDg PART 4 - Interior Restoration https://youtu.be/iiB8_5Q-X_w PART 5 - Paint and Finishing Touches https://youtu.be/g6pXaG6g43k PART 6 - Launch & Stepping her mast https://youtu.be/4eNyqHMY8ds PART 7 - Sea Trials https://youtu.be/Xod0o1YF7vU - Deck Teaser https://youtu.be/heYt0sNAkxg Paint Teaser https://youtu.be/qE12_zIOiE0 Launch Teaser https://youtu.be/tVSXG7igTIU Mast Stepping Teaser https://youtu.be/VmaCrYZ5nkE Sea Trials Teaser https://youtu.be/Ic7Qlh_cRn4 #YachtRestoration #YachtRefit #ClassicYacht #WoodenYacht #BoatRestoration #MarineEngineering #TeakDeck #YachtPaint #Woodwork #ClassicBoat #BoatBuilding #Shipwright #Lymington #Sailing #Berthon
Questa mattina abbiamo salutato il luogo che negli ultimi giorni ci ha regalato emozioni ormai incise nel nostro cuore per sempre. Spiagge bianche, acqua cristallina, mante, tartarughe, aragoste, clima mite, persone gentili. Galleggiamo dentro a un sogno. Nella diretta di oggi una persona ci ha chiesto come andasse la nostra “altalena emotiva”. Ci è piaciuta molto come espressione sia perché rivela che nonostante i video e le foto arriva il messaggio che attraversiamo anche noi dei momenti complicati, sia perché la metafora dell’altalena rende bene l’idea di cosa significa vivere sempre sulla cresta dell’onda. Sempre posti pazzeschi, sempre vento che soffia, sempre mete da raggiungere, sempre grati. Ma ogni pendolo deve oscillare anche nella direzione opposta, così noi ci sentiamo affaticati, spesso inadeguati, stressati per il lavoro, in pensiero per i nostri cari. In questi casi si può fare solo una cosa: imparare ad andare a tempo con il pendolo e godersi ogni salita e ogni discesa. Perché in fondo è proprio così che la vita funziona ed è una vana speranza quella di voler vivere sempre in cima all’oscillazione. Questo viaggio ci sta insegnando che in cima a ogni onda oceanica c’è una vista straordinaria e questo basta già. Ps: anche sotto le onde oceaniche vale la pena di guardare comunque… ben che ti va fai due bracciate con le tartarughe 🐢🩵
