  • Hornblower's Ships

    Hornblower's Ships

    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

An extraordinary programme ! Today, it is with great joy that I announce this partnership with Mirabaud, giving the go-ahead to operations that will enable me to be at the starting line with Michèle in Barcelona on 31 December 2010, under the best condi- tions possible. One year later we will be in Le Havre, and finally, at the Sables d’Olonne in 2012 for the Vendée Globe. On the programme: one transatlantic, two round-the- world races, 200 days at sea and 90,000 nautical miles. Still, one might ask : why ? My answer is simple : after se- ven round-the-world races and over 360,000 nautical miles in my sailor’s log, my ambitions are intact and my thirst is as intense as ever ! Today, I embark on this three- year programme with enormous energy and enthusiasm. I am thrilled to be returning to sea on one of the Fabu- lous IMOCA Open 60 yachts and to complete a venture that I was forced to abandon in the southern seas during the last Vendée Globe.

  • Alan Martienssen & Zebedee

    Alan Martienssen & Zebedee

    Hall of Fame - Alan Martienssen by Graham Cox Alan Martienssen 1958 - In the days of Slocum, Pidgeon and Gerbault, all small boat voyagers sailed without engines. By the middle of the 20th century, as engines became smaller, lighter and more reliable, sailing engineless became the rare mark of either a purist or an impoverished sailor. For Alan Martienssen, on Zebedee, the decision to sail without an engine began in the impoverished camp and has gone on, over one and a half circumnavigations, and as many decades, to be a matter of choice. Alan is a pragmatic man, a veterinary surgeon who cheerfully admits he has no mystical or spiritual inclinations. When, beset by domestic tribulation in his native England, he decided to get a boat and sail over the horizon - despite little knowledge and less experience - he simply chose to follow precedent. A friend had given him a copy of Annie Hill’s Voyaging on a Small Income and he decided to build an exact copy of Badger, stock it with the same type of food (dried beans etc) and head west. If it worked for Annie, he reasoned, it should work for him. For many people this might have been a Alan steering Zebedee recipe for disaster, or at least disappointment, but for the largely unflappable Alan it worked like a charm. For those unfamiliar with Badger, this vessel is a to the Gulf Islands, followed by the USA’s San Juan plywood-hulled, timber-sparred, junk-rigged, dory- Islands, before heading north to Desolation Sound, and hulled schooner, 34ft on deck.
