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.
