    James Henry Flux 1868 – 1950

    James Henry Flux 1868 – 1950 James Henry Flux was born in Cowes on the 7th February 1868 to Jacob Flux and his wife Eliza nee Whitticom. The family were Wesleyan Methodists and he was baptised in the West Cowes chapel on 26th May. He was their third child, with older siblings Thomas and Eliza. Four more children came along, Emily, Ernest, Alfred and Lillian, although poor Lillian only lived to the age of three. Jacob’s job as a yacht rigger meant he was often away at sea and Eliza brought the family up in the centre of Cowes at Market Place. In 1881 13 year old James was an errand boy, but Cowes was the centre of sailing, and also had a healthy ship-building industry. After serving his apprenticeship as a shipwright James worked at the Royal Naval Works in Woolston, Southampton, and later with the West India Company. James was one of the earliest members of the Associated Shipwrights Society joining the Southampton branch in 1889. On returning to Cowes he joined Messrs J Samuel White and Company, who were renowned shipbuilders. James did not follow his parents into non-conformity. On 26th December 1887 James married Eliza Matthews, at 27, 8 years his senior, at St Mary’s Church in Cowes. He was living in Prospect Road. Their first child, Lillian Mabel was born the following June. The family moved around, in 1891 they were living in Fellows Road and their first son James Bernard was born. In 1893 when their final child, William Ernest was born, they were living in Tennyson Road.

    The America's Cup and the Law of Trusts: Mercury Bay Boating Club's 1988 K-Boat Challenge

    211 The America's Cup and the Law of Trusts: Mercury Bay Boating Club's 1988 K-Boat Challenge Peter Grainger German* The author examines the litigation surrounding the 27th America's Cup regatta. The author argues that the deed of gift did not permit a defence of the Cup with a catamaran, and that even if it did, the San Diego Yacht Club failed to satisfy its fiduciary obligation of acting in the utmost good faith towards the Mercury Bay Boating Club. Finally, the author argues that the deed of gift is more accurately described as a non- charitable purpose trust for factual beneficiaries. I INTRODUCTION On July 17 1987, Sir Michael Fay issued a letter of challenge for the America’s Cup to San Diego Yacht Club ("SDYC"; ”San Diego”). He could not then have foreseen that an air of ill-will and acrimony would so pervade the 27th America's Cup regatta as to demonstrate its fragility "...in the face of die amoral quest for betterment, the hunger to win at any cost, even at the cost of destroying the game."*1 The waters of San Diego Bay played host to two races for yachting's not-so-holy grail on September 7 and September 9 1988. SDYC's 60 foot catamaran Stars & Stripes defeated Mercury Bay Boating Club's 132.8 foot keeled monohull New Zealand2 in both races, making the scheduled third contest unnecessary.3 On the water at least, therefore, San Diego successfully defended the 27th America's Cup (the "Cup"). * This article was written as part of the LLB(Hons) programme.

JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY. PREFACE We had at first intended that this should be a book without a preface, and indeed it needs none, for it speaks in no uncertain tones for itself; but on reconsideration we decided that it would be more seemly to give a short explanation of our aim, our motives, and our methods. As a result of innumerable inquiries which have come to us during our experience as educators, we have been forced to the conclusion that the performances of the Irish race in many fields of endeavor are entirely unknown to most people, and that even to the elect they are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. Hence there came to page 2 / 498 us the thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and permanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement during the last two thousand years. In undertaking this task we had a twofold motive.

  • Charles E Nicholson (1868 – 1954)

    Charles E Nicholson (1868 – 1954)

    Charles E Nicholson (1868 – 1954) The son of Benjamin Nicholson, who had joined William Camper in the Gosport yard in 1842, Charles E Nicholson, usually referred to as ‘CE,’ not only inherited a family business but had a uniquely gifted eye for a yacht and a driving quest for pioneering improvements. In his teens he was sent to France to learn French as the yard had good clients there but with no technical training, aged 18, he started work with his father and elder brother and had his first yacht LUCIFER built a year later. His DACIA in 1892 was such a success that six weeks after her first sail she was sold for twice her building price. This certainly launched his career as a yacht designer, but as the yacht measurement rules at the time encouraged unseaworthy and too lightly built yachts, he campaigned to change these rules and also for Lloyds to produce rules for yacht construction. In the first decade of the century the demand for steam yachts was still strong but they were almost all built on the Clyde. The Gosport yard had no space to build large steel steam yachts but CE managed to break into this market by having the hulls built elsewhere and fitted out in Gosport. Again innovation played a part in this, such as convincing the Duc de Valencay that he should be the first to dispense with the clipper bow and have a straight stem with no bowsprit. The continued demand for large steel yachts led to the purchase of the Southampton yard in 1912, leaving Gosport to concentrate on wood, composite and smaller steel yachts.

What would a superyacht look like had it not been for the J-Class designs? What would a motor yacht look like had it not been for classic Camper & Nicholsons motor yachts like Evadne and Philante? ut for the continuing presence of Camper and with it Camper & Nicholsons. Much of its success & Nicholsons, the world of yachting would can be attributed to William Camper.

His friendships with its of so many aspects of yachting. Ranging from the members resulted in the company’s frst known pleasure design of dinghies, the mighty J-Class, elegant yacht, Breeze. Launched in 1836, she won the King’s gentlemen’s yachts to the largest cruising schooners Cup of that year thus sealing Camper’s reputation. By afoat, Camper & Nicholsons is truly synonymous the mid 19th century, the Camper yard had built a string with the history of yachting. of successful schooners, some of which were used, not only for racing, but also for cruising further afeld. Te From its roots in Gosport, conveniently across the Nancy Dawson, built in 1847, recorded one of the frst harbour from the Royal Naval Dockyard at Portsmouth, circumnavigations by a yacht. Parallel to its yachting beginnings were modest. But, fuelled by the fortunes activities, the yard continued to build trading ships being made from trade and the Industrial Revolution and to participate in their voyages.
