  • Grace” Owned and Built by Grahame Harris Finished 2015, a TREAD LIGHTLY Design by John Welsford
    1. “Grace” Owned and built by Grahame Harris finished 2015, a TREAD LIGHTLY design by John Welsford. Built over a 3 year period from Meranti ply - fibreglassed over (up to the 2nd chine). The original 14ft design has been 'stretched’ to just under 17ft and she carries approx. 230 litres of water ballast. Grace flies a 4 sided “balanced lugsail” of approx 130 sq ft, has twin skegs and twin rudders. She has a 15hp Yamaha outboard mounted in the cockpit. Her name Grace, is a play on the design name “Tread Lightly” 2 ½ years to build in the shed. Carbon fibre 2 pce mast, 6hp 4 stroke outboard in motor well. Sleeps 2 comfortably. Full of BURNSCO accessories - from my work. 2. “Jameelah” Owned by Peter and Raewyn Dunlop. Built in 1994 by Honnor Marine, Devon, UK. Designed by Drascombe Lugger. 5.72m yacht. bought in 2005 from a friend when they lived in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and on relocating to New Zealand brought her along with them. The name “Jameelah” is an Arabic word used when describing a beautiful woman which we think is very appropriate. The design is based on the original coastal fishing boats of north east England. The mizzen mast and tan sails giving her a traditional look and excellent all weather sailing qualities. She has a GRP hull and deck finished with hard wood trim. The mast is varnished timber and her rig design is “sliding gunter” which allows the top part of the mast to be easily lowered when at anchor or negotiating low structures.

  • 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.

Superb family home with 2 bed annexe 3 bedroom main house Creek & countryside views Landscaped gardens Close to the coast Recently refurbished Rural village location Pendower Beach – 1.4 St Mawes – 7.2 Truro (via King Harry Ferry) – 7.8 Falmouth (via King Harry Ferry) – 13 Cornwall Airport (Newquay) – 23.2 (All distances are approximate and in miles) Savills Truro 73 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall TR1 2PN 01872 243200 [email protected] THE LOCATION Philleigh is centred around a church and the delightful sixteenth century Roseland Inn. There has been a church in Philleigh since the seventh century, today there is a thirteenth century tower with the rest of the building being a Victorian restoration of later additions. The village’s old name was in fact Eglos Ros, meaning Heath Church. The church, and subsequently the village, later adopted the name of the Parish saint St Filius. The hamlet is tucked away, with a highly regarded pub and a popular cookery school. The road through Philleigh used to be the old coach road running between London and Penzance which can be traced and seen on maps as early as 1685. This road then led to the River Fal crossings at the Tolverne Ferry and King Harry Ferry where ferry services have been provided since medieval times. THE PROPERTY Lonicera and Lonicera Studio are situated in an elevated position enjoying great privacy and far reaching rural views across miles of countryside including glimpses of the creek.
