Dear Friends,
I got a call the other day from my friend who races a Town Class boat (16ft lapstrake sloop) in the Marblehead fleet that numbers over 50, he said he had sailing fever. I said he might wait a few days to find the fever cooled a bit. Now we have about three inches of mixed snow, sleet and freezing rain on the ground with freezing drizzle still in the air. Tomorrow we will have one of the coldest nights of the winter, well below freezing even in Marblehead. Not time to paint yet, Bill! Shoveling this stuff isn’t easy either. Some fun! Of course, I look forward to sailing too, after cleaning her up and renewing the bottom paint. All in good time.
First, I have to write an Honorary Secretary's report for the ASA Annual General Meeting and then I have to give a little talk about boat building to our local historical society. What do you say about boat building to a mixed crowd out here in the hills. I know there are a few sailors living in town but I must talk to everybody. I’m told that some will come to the talk for the cookies that follow, I’d like them to find the talk interesting too. I think it will be mostly stories, about boats and people, people and boats. Somehow I should slip in at least a picture of SEA HARMONY, BEE and the name, “Albert Strange”.
Another facet of Albert Strange’s art has emerged as one of Albert’s Great Great Granddaughters has, with her husband, acquired a copper plate carrying an etched scene of fishing boats maneuvering off Scarborough, a large ketch with lug topsail in company with a couple of cobles, one with lug rig. It would be fun to see a print from that plate. Congratulations!
Our February Newsletter featured a picture from 2009 of Strange’s THERESA II, in a boatyard on the Isle of Wight, present condition and location still unknown. Now we have a new, exciting and very substantial report from Dave Ahrens about his new build to the Theresa II plan. That’s a beautiful oak log you have there, enough for a couple of boats. I hope you found a good sawyer. One of the portable band mills would be perfect. The backbone and molds look excellent too.
It is great to see Roger Robinson’s defence of Conor O’Brien and SAOIRSE, their history and their participation in the 1927 Fastnet race. The brand new Fife HALLOWEEN, coming second on time in 1926, setting a time record that would stand for many years, showed what a purpose built racer/cruiser could do, but not entered in 1927, left the field to others. The two Alden schooners sailing in 1927, LA GOLETA and NICANOR, were new built and reflected John Alden’s Malabar schooners dominance in the Bermuda Race in this period as well as their Grand Banks fishing heritage. JOLIE BRISE was built as a pilot boat while Albert Strange designed TALLY HO as a cruising/fishing boat for a fishing fleet owner; the other boats starting in 1927 were cruising yachts of various design. Rounding the Isle of Wight after the start of racing, the fleet found themselves facing a SW gale that stormed through the third day before veering NW and then backing around to the south through the fourth day as TALLY HO and LA GOLETA, the only two still racing, approached the Fastnet Rock, when it went calm in the cyclonic eye. Having cleared the rock, the gale returned in force from the NE, leaving the two a hard beat into the 6th day before moderating and backing north for the final approach to finish. If those storms had passed the course in a different order, NE and N to start with S, NW and SW to finish, SAOIRSE would have had a very different race, the others too.
Thanks to all who wrote letters commemorating the life of Pete Clay, which you will read below.
Geoffrey Gransden’s letter about a Strange vessel at the Medway Cruising Club looking for a new owner came as a great surprise. It turns out SANDERA is one of the Bangor S class sloops, designed by Robert Slater and built by his company. She is #4 of 22 built by the Shipyard Company in Bangor, N. Ireland between 1946 and 1964, SANDERA in 1949. If you Google Bangor S class, you will get more information and pictures of what could be your fine yacht. Contact Medway Cruising Club, Secretary Bill Clark, bill.clark82@yahoo.com for more information.
From one Bangor to another, we come very soon to the ASA AGM Weekend in Bangor, North Wales. I hope to see you there, though you will only see me on the small screen, if all works well in that department.
Thank you John for the pictures of the Dog and Duck Steps in Scarborough. Time flies and stands still, all at once. Fun.
Finally, there is a new video out of rebuilding TALLY HO as systems and details installations continue. The previous video featured mast construction, also appealing for money, with the cost of this work as well as the sails to come. We do want to see her sparred and sailing!
Have fun as we see the seasons change.
Cheers,
Thad Danielson,
ASA Hon Sec

An Update on Building a New Theresa II
By Dave Ahrens
|
|
|
Greetings to all. February arrived with thunder. With a constant parade of cyclones marching up the coast the ground was becoming saturated. The creek behind the house was nearly full, a rushing torrent, almost filling a 12’ culvert where it goes under the road. But the thunder I heard one morning two weeks ago shook the entire house. It sounded more like a train wreck. Rushing out on the front deck, expecting to see a 747 in my field, I saw nothing. Okay, check the back… Going out back I saw it. One of my biggest trees, a 300 plus year old white oak, 5’ thick at the base had decided to give up. This was a decent sized tree when the Indians lived in this valley and here she was laying on her side. I was sad to see this beautiful tree go but then it struck me, I had just been wondering where I was going to get the white oak for Theresa’s frames. There is a log here that is 5’ thick and 30 ft long. All I need is a crane and a sawmill. Unfortunately, though it will take several hours a day for several months to clear this mess. Thank heaven it didn’t fall on the shop. It would have crushed it to splinters. Perhaps I should be more specific about what I wish for.
|
|
|
Aside from the tree, taking a huge bite out of my day, I have been making progress with Theresa. It is slowly becoming evident to me that if I keep up the same glacial speed which has gotten me this far in 2 years I should be ready to launch in the next 20 years or so. This disquieting deduction came to me one day as I was sitting admiring my work, that I had built my whole house with only 1 helper and also all of the cabinets and some of the doors together with all the electric, plumbing and tile work, and more, and it had only taken me a year and a half. Yet in 2 years, with Theresa, I have barely managed some artwork on the floor and a keel. The earth-splitting revelation continued: What factors contribute to this? I wondered. Could it be, a) My land requires too much maintenance or b) My chair in the shop is way too comfortable or c) I’m enjoying the building of it more than the prospect of getting it done. And so, Theresa and I got together and we decided that something had to change. I vowed to stop asking myself “what’s the worst that can happen” before I make every cut and she will try to explain more clearly what her special needs are and I will try to be more responsive. Sometimes negotiations are required to keep the project moving forward.
|

I began this month building the ladder frame or building jig on top of which I will build the hull upside down. My frame is fairly stout, squared to 1/16 diagonally, leveled with a laser, cross braced and bolted to the floor. Once this was done, excitement began to build. For all of you who are boatbuilders, you know this. This is a big transition. No more crawling around on the floor with sticks and measuring things, pencils and pens sticking out of all my pockets. No more running around the shop in my socks, somehow missing most of the sharp objects on the floor while traveling back and forth to the lofting. And no more worry about my lines fading. Yup, those fun days are over.
From this point onward I’ll be climbing up and over, around and through an actual boat. I have even bravely taken up some of the lofting floor to make room. Where all my stem rabbet profiles were painstakingly drawn sits a new table. One can’t have too many tables. Theresa was pulled, shoved, and pried over to the building jig. I’m calling it the operating table and the photos show her sitting there on top, awaiting various procedures.
|
|
|
So far, the backbone structure weighs 325 lbs.(147kgs) and the engine hoist is a huge help. The 2x4 clamped on is my preventer as the structure is pretty top heavy and tipping would cause significant chaos. In my shop there are two 6x8 posts next to the building frame exactly 12’ apart. The frame is positioned so that lifting points at stations 4 and 10 are directly in line with these posts.
|
|
|
|
From these posts across to other posts I have erected 6x8 beams on which hang two 3 ton chain hoists in order to lift the whole assembly 13’ high and invert it. Once this is braced and tied off I can erect the 12 station molds (already made) then lower the keel assembly on top of all of that. Sorry, no pictures of this yet as it hasn’t actually happened but when it does there will be drama and possibly a tear of relief.
|
|
And as I left the shop one afternoon this amazing sight greeted me. This is either a good omen or the next tree to fall. I choose omen .

A copper plate etched by Albert Strange has come into the possession of Laura Simpson one of Albert's Great Great Grandaughters.
|
|
You can just make out Albert's monogram in the bottom right hand corner.The plate was previously owned by Albert's last Housekeeper Kate Grant who left it along with some watercolours and other memorabilia to her nephews.
Laura, who is an artist, and her husband David will be attending the ASA AGM Weekend in Bangor.
|
|
|
In recent years the couple have begun to collect AS watercolours some of which we hope to feature in the Newsletter in months to come. Readers may remember that Laura owns the sole surviving Albert Strange sketchbook dated 1916 which we reproduced in the Newsletters in 2018.
Hopefully, with a little encouragement they might take to the water in one of Albert's canoe yawls before long!

IN DEFENSE OF SAOIRSE
By Roger Robinson
|
|
|
I have been stirred into activity by Thad's remark in the February Newsletter concerning Conor O'Brien's fine vessel Saoirse. He claims that she started the infamous 1927 Fastnet ocean race, 'but not being a weatherly vessel she never got very far'. Now I have delighted in making something of a study of O'Brien and his boats, after spending some months working aboard the Ilen in the Falklands in the '60's, and would welcome the opportunity of refuting Thad's statement. I will begin by posing some questions. Why did Conor O’Brien decide to enter The Race in the first place, when clearly the Saoirse was not designed to be used as a racing yacht? How ‘efficient’ was her hull form, and rig, and what was the nature of her crew? How could she possibly have completed her celebrated circumnavigation, south of the three great Capes, if she was not ‘weatherly’?
|
|
Since his victorious return to Dublin in 1925, amid a tumultuous outpouring of national pride, O’Brien had been pretty busy designing, building and delivering Saoirse’s larger sister Ilen to her owners, the Falkland Islands Company. However, on calling at Rio in 1926 for stores on her way south, he was enchanted to watch the numerous working sailing craft making their way to market.
“But my real delight was in the tiny brigantines, setting nothing above single topsails: when I saw them, I decided that as soon as I got home I also would own a brigantine…”
So during the spring of 1927 he stepped a new, larger mast right aft aboard the Saoirse, and called it the mainmast, crossed a pair of yards on the old mainmast, calling it the foremast, and now had his brigantine. Her formidable bowsprit, complete with jibboom, remained as before. All that needed to be done was to try it all out.
Meanwhile, the beautiful, Irish owned, Fife cutter Hallowe’en, which had lead the fleet home in the 1926 Fastnet Race, dropped out, leaving no one to represent Ireland. Perhaps Saoirse might step up to the challenge?
Just as south coast sailing folk regard the Needles lighthouse, or the Eddystone with some affection, derived from long and close association, so those sailors used to knocking about off the west coast of Ireland consider the Fastnet to be their own local attraction. Lying just off Cape Clear Island, west of Baltimore, it was well-known to O’Brien. I suggest that perhaps he might have thought what fun it would be to join a race around ‘our’ local rock, even if it probably meant perhaps 300 miles to windward, to get there!
|
|
So Conor had several good reasons to start thinking about entering Saoirse for the Race, but who might be willing to join as crew? When faced with this very problem for the delivery of the Ilen to the Falklands he had the good fortune to fall in with the Cadogan family whilst in Baltimore. These were Cape Clear islanders themselves, brought up to man the very fishing boats that formed part of both Saoirse and Ilen’s ancestry, and two of them had helped to work the Ilen down south. Con Cadogan, a veritable ‘mountain’ of a man, was willing to join, as was Conor’s ‘indefatigable’ younger sister Kitty, who had helped to sail the Saoirse home from the Azores in 1925.
This was the core crew who happily completed no less than three passages along the course of the Race that spring, sailing to and fro between the Shannon and Cowes, (vainly?) trying to set up the new rig until it worked efficiently.
Of course Conor realised that he would need more ‘hands on deck’ to actually race the boat and stand rolling watches, so he started inviting various friends and contacts to join him. We are lucky that his next two recruits were both skilled journalists, in their own way, and the accounts left to us by both Maurice Griffiths and his wife, who wrote under the name Peter Gerard, provide us with some really entertaining descriptions of life aboard the Saoirse during the Race. Three other sailing friends also joined the crew so that the ship’s seven bunks proved inadequate to the task. Life aboard during the race was rather typified by the necessity of everyone having to try in vain to avoid actually stepping on to the poor rolling body of whoever had the unfortunate role at that time of taking the eighth berth: on the cabin sole!
A picture of the reality of sailing the good ship Saoirse under her new rig in this grand new race is now beginning to emerge. But what about the design and nature of the boat herself? A certain amount of nonsense has been written about this over the years. She was quite simply a product of the local working boat vernacular tradition, typified by the fishing and working boats of the south and west coasts of Ireland. There is a certain amount of ‘cods head, mackerel tail’ in her form, with a bit of the ‘Galway hooker’ without the tumblehome. Conor O’Brien wrote that the
“General type of hull was suggested by a fishing boat built in Arklow…..I had been to sea in that fishing boat and knew her good qualities.”
In actual fact, a glance at her lines plan reveals that her rather bluff bows above the waterline belie her fine ends below it, yet these are combined with a seriously stiff midship section, for all her ballast of about 8 tons of iron was carried inside. She had plenty of shape but she was not designed to be used as a racing yacht! Despite this, O’Brien had made some pretty impressive passages in her, reeling off up to 170 miles a day in the rough conditions of the great Southern Ocean.
|
|
|
Unlike some of his East Coast crew for the race, O’Brien was a deep water man. During his remarkably fast circumnavigation he developed a growing love of square canvas at sea.
|
|
|
Cutting his sailing teeth on the west coast of Ireland he was used to seeing many local working boats with their boomless gaff sloop and cutter rigs. He had cursed the main boom of his earlier boat, the gaff ketch Kelpie, and found Saoirse’s main, with its long gaff to be much more docile without one. He also began to admire the attributes of square canvas as its wonderful capabilities were gradually discovered.
|
|
|
In his fourteen books and numerous idiosyncratic articles on yachting he was to wax eloquently about the many benefits of square rig, continually adapting and modifying Saoirse’s sail plan to refine his ideas. As a deep water man O’Brien’s attitude towards windward work was suitably laconic. He avoided it. You will be hard put to find much in the way of any description of beating, in ‘Across Three Oceans’. When the wind went ahead, he set off in another direction to go looking for a slant. Having run out of the SE trades in the South Atlantic on his way to Cape Town he reflected that “A foul wind in the open ocean is, however, a generally remediable nuisance, so I gave up sailing very slowly in a considerably wrong direction, and went off at large to look for a fair wind.”
He wrote that Saoirse was indeed “slow to windward”. “My fore-and-aft canvas is enough to get me to windward just a little, not competitively.” On facing the long slog up to windward against the Northeast Trades, on the way home from Pernambuco, he found that Saoirse would tramp happily along at five knots, six points off the wind, but was happy at some mealtimes to steer “four points off the wind, making, I suppose, 2 ½ knots instead of 5.”
The attributes of square rig are misunderstood by the majority of ditch-crawling yachtsmen who confine themselves to the narrow waters and swatchways of the coast. O’Brien found out in the years following the Fastnet Cup race, that the Saoirse could be handled by two or three people, as on the extended cruise he made to the Mediterranean with his new wife. In particular he found that the square tops’l would lie closer to the wind than any fore-and-aft canvas, with its unencumbered luff lying clear of any spars, and the power, lift and drive of all his square canvas was remarkable.
Throughout her life in Conor O’Brien’s ownership the various manifestations of both square and fore-and-aft rigging that he devised for Saoirse were all in harmony with the capabilities and limitations of her hull shape. He was acutely aware that her main mast (when she was a ketch) was placed too far forward, in order not to impinge upon the spaciousness of the delightful saloon, but her hull and rig were generally well matched.
|
|
|
The Race itself has been so well documented, separately, by three of the crew that its main details are well-known, and I don’t feel they merit much retelling here. It is clear that despite having sailed the course three times in the months before, that these ‘shakedowns’ still left much to be desired in ironing-out the numerous idiosyncrasies presented by such a complex rig. I think the main reason that the Saoirse was right to retire was mainly down to the limitations of her crew, who had already shown an amazing degree of stamina and fortitude in the face of quite nasty conditions. She had shown her potential when she charged down the Spithead at nine knots, but neither the crew nor the rig were sufficiently well tuned to continue down Channel, to windward, in strong to gale force winds. She did, in fact, ‘weather’ the first of the three Channel headlands that need to be doubled in the race, and was well on into West Bay before she turned back. Perhaps she could have continued under easy canvas, anchored under the lee of the Start for a day, and carried on, but the writing was on the wall, and it is clear that the crew were pretty ‘done in’.
|
|
Once the decision was taken to gybe round and head for home, all three of the ‘writing’ members of the crew wax eloquently about what happened next. I like what Conor wrote
“our best helmsman rose from her bed of sickness to steer us somewhere in West Bay to our anchorage for the night in Hurst Roads, and voted it a very pleasant afternoon’s sail.”
All this really demonstrates is what fine vessels the schooner La Goleta and the gaff cutter Tally Ho really were, and together, like Saoirse were all under 40' on deck.

Peter Clay
Hugh Browton writes...
Peter Clay (founder Member of the ASA) has raised jib and (gaff) mizzen, slipped the mooring, and departed on the ebbing tide of the river Deben. In this manner, Pete passed on very peacefully on 16 January, with friend and family close by.
Pete, long time owner of Nirvana of Arklow (44’ over spars, gaff-rigged yawl, Albert Strange-designed, built in Arklow, Ireland in 1925), was well-known on England’s east coast, and further afield, particularly in Scandinavian waters, especially those of Denmark where he often sailed and over-wintered Nirvana. All those who sailed with him have many stories of adventures, and great company.
A very talented woodworker, he first trained as a violin maker and restorer, and he always seemed to translate that skill into the joinery work he created on boats; the same precision, but on a much larger scale. The beautiful interior of Nirvana (which astonishingly he built while living in Switzerland and brought back to the UK in flat-pack form) visibly reveals those origins. The rest of the boat was wonderfully restored over a number of years by his brother, Jamie Clay, a boatbuilder, owner of AS-designed Firefly, and long-time ASA Member.
Living for many years in Woodbridge on the River Deben he had always been centrally involved in matters concerning the town and its river. The successful redevelopment of the town's waterfront is a result of his action group's tireless efforts in doing battle with the Council and with rapacious developers. In recent years an interest rekindled by time spent at Vikingeskibs Museet in Roskilde, Denmark, had led to a leading role in the Sutton Hoo Saxon burial ship reconstruction, which is taking shape in the rebuilt Whisstocks Longshed in Woodbridge.
Pete is survived by his wife, daughter, brother Jamie, sister Janet, and extended family. And by his friends, and by the crew of Nirvana - who will miss him greatly. He was such a great skipper.

I was privileged to know The Clays almost from the day I bought the shell of ‘Sheila’ with Peter, being the enthusiast, holding my hand when the earliest restoration was grinding along. We shared an instinct for ‘making things’ his votive being ‘Cellos - to ‘world standard’ indeed having been trained in the top school. Peter was a never ending support through the whole time I had her with all the Family joining him. Knowing them all was a great support when the going got rough in a number of places with happy hours discussing ‘life’ in the widest sense in the Saxon House kitchen for Peter’s views being eclectic but always forgiving. I still remember a particular act of grace when I had had to abandon Sheila down the coast in charge of Chris and Fran. After their return he rang me to say, “you should be enormously proud because they handled her just like you”. Grace mattered to Peter which is an attribute much in desuetude today - Requiescat in Pace - I shall miss the particular style of discussions we had, always forgiving - definitely a grace in a tawdry world.

Sad to read in the latest ASA newsletter that Peter Clay had died. I met him when he invited me for a sail on “Nirvana” at the Association meeting in West Mersea last summer. A lovely chap and a great loss to the world of classic wooden boats.

The Medway Cruising Club, of which I am a member, has an Albert Strange design yacht, ’Sandera’, which has been owned in the club for approximately the past sixty years, firstly by Brian Herring and more recently by Ray Taylor until his recent passing.
The yacht is now in imminent danger of being disposed of and may be broken up. With a keen owner and a little enthusiasm she could easily be restored to full sailing condition.
Medway Cruising Club has a boat shed and workshop facilities, available to full members, should any suitable person be interested.
The asking price is £zero.
Would you please circulate this information to your membership or any interested party, in order to save this beautiful craft.
