Re: \"Suhaili\", where is she now? I think she's in Falmouth at the Maritime Museum

if i no for certain that an old boat has been abandoned and an owner can not be sourced (i've been trying for 12 months now). how do i go about trying to own it? it is moored/sunk on public land! so nobody can claim it though unpaid fees (which is quite common these days). The Truro & Penryn...

do you know the approx weight of your boat? (including all your gear!)

Have finally worked out how to post photos of 'Patience', the ferro cement bawley that I am trying to trace the owner of. Images show how she was when I found her, and once we had got her watertight and upright, also a photo from the original owner stephen marshall.

yea, i haven't worked out how to put pictures up yet, can anyone help? I have photo's of the Bawley that i'm interested in. Have just worked out that it is indeed Patience.

Those links are of the same boat, called Prospect. Do we think she was one of the Essex boats or Kent?

Since i started this i have managed to track down Ray Govier, he did indeed build the boat that i am now trying to buy, tho finding an owner is proving to be hard. Ray's boat was Fly of Halstow and she was Green. Although he does not recal what my one was called. I have removed paint and it...

2' at the base seems very big for a mast of 100ft. The main mast on Aile Blanche (1939 C & N) was 102ft long and the base around 16" across. Could it have been a bigger mast that has been cut down? or did they build em extra strong up north! Out of interest what was the ferro cutter you went to...

Between my father and myself we own two of the remaining Falmouth 18 footers, Magpie 1898 and Myrtle 1901 which are without doubt classics, but i also race an Ajax, designed by Oliver J Lee and built in GRP in late sixties (like a longer, prettier squib) this is also quoted as being a classic...

ok thanks, I have also spotted one on Boatshed.com, she is called Prospect and up for sale in Gibraltar although i cannot be sure that she was from the same builder. The advert says she was built for the Goivior Consortium! Does anybody have any idea who or what they were? The standard of hull...

i used to teach sailing on St.Marys in the Scillies, in drascombe dabbers, these had offset mizzen masts and also offset sheeting points. they sailed fine for a small boat. But you often had to ease the sheet while tacking else they would just sit head to wind. Hope this helps.

Does any one here have any information on east coast bawley replica's that were built in the early eighties in ferro cement? They were 36ft LWL and i think only single numbers were built. There is a black painted one moored on the river near me (Falmouth, Cornwall). She has clearly been...
