From the Quarterdeck It seems as though it was only a short time ago, the OGA announced its 50th anniversary celebrations, but already 2013 is rapidly approaching. It’s an exciting celebration and one of the most noteworthy in our Association’s history. The timing is perfect; most of us, even retired members, lead hectic and busy lives. There is, in western society, a prevailing affinity to grasp at an earlier way of life often perceived as a simpler less complicated time in history. We only have to recall the number of period pieces adapted to screen and television or the revival of Bluegrass and Celtic music reaching worldwide audiences across the Internet, to see this happening. A couple of years ago Wooden Boat Magazine stated there are more wooden boats on the water today than in the 1970’s when the magazine first sold at the newsstands. Few of us want to return to the so calledGood Old Days, but that’s not to say we don’t enjoy reliving some great memories. What better time to promote the gaff rig and other traditional forms of sail, what better time to promote the Old Gaffers Association! Several traditional sailing items have passed across my desk, during the last few weeks. I’d like to share a couple of the most notable. For those interested in a true classic, the historic J Class yacht, Endeavour was re-launched a few weeks ago after an extensive refit. More information can be found at http://www.ibinews.com/auto/newsdesk/20110912140134syb.html or by a Google search of J Class yacht Endeavour. The Gaff Cutter,Dolphin of Leith, previously owned by Solent Area member John Lowrie and his wife, is currently on a voyage to New Zealand and skippered and crewed by John’s son and family. John has written an interesting letter, with photos (printed in this issue) about his days of ownership. More information can be read as the voyage progresses by making a search in facebook, Dolphin of Leith & The Big Adventure. Please consider visiting the Facebook page from time to time, follow their progress and leave your good wishes, I’m sure they will appreciateLetters from Home. In a few weeks the Gaffers Log will be available as a PDF file from several Internet sources. To protect the privacy of our members all phone numbers and addresses will be removed from the online edition. I also maintain an email list of OGA members and friends throughout the world that receive the GL PDF. The cost to the OGA is nothing, but is an excellent method of promoting our activities. If, in addition to receiving your regular hard copy of the GL, you’d like to be added to the list of online subscribers or if you know anyone interested in the receiving the PDF edition please forward the information to me. My thanks to everyone that contributed material to this issue. Please keep sending your adventures, photos, letters, Classified Advertisements (they are free to members) and anything else you would like to share with other Gaffers. Many of our members own some of the finest boats on the water and fortunately many are excellent photographers. Viv Head has extended the deadline of this year’s OGA Photo Competition; please see the advertisement in this issue. No single publication unites members from all areas as does the Gaffers Log. Our advertisers are an important part of our team and really do help to defray the cost of production. Please, whenever possible, consider supporting them and let them know you saw their advertisement in the GL. I wish each of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Photograph - Keith Allso A note from your Hon Secretary… I write to let all members know that I will be standing down at the January 2012 AGM. I have very much enjoyed the role and wherever possible have enjoyed meeting many of you in your areas as well as others outside of our Association. I stand down a year early, mindful of our 50th birthday celebrations in 2013, and the desire to give time for my replacement to have a little breathing space in the year leading up to summer 2013. It has to be said I have not been overly involved as such with the actual 2013 work – the Hon Sec role rolling on much as it always has.Very little of the job involves the writing of real letters anymore – my time in office has seen the complete transition from ‘letterbox’ (hole in the front door variety) to ‘mail box’ (the electronic one out in the ether). Jan, my wife, Minute Secretary and ‘Hon Sec Support’ has to be thanked by me for her supporting efforts. We came as a team and we go as a team. We both thank you for your support. Robert 4 From The OGA President The 2011 sailing season is over, the moorings deserted, the marinas, creeks and hards packed solid with winterised boats. The Met man promises us a winter of snow and freezing conditions. Let us hope he is as right about this as he was about our promised BBQ summer. It seems remote as I write this in bright, still, autumn sunshine, the water like a mirror. We certainly had a varied season with some mighty blows and good weather at the beginning and end of the season. In The Solent, we had a sensationally exciting day for our Annual Race. It tested both boats and crew. Your GMC continues to work on plans to celebrate our fifty years and you can watch our progress on the OGA 50 website. Do continue to post your thoughts and suggestions on the forum pages. A full newsletter is enclosed that sets out our plans so far. Do give us your reactions so that we can take account of what you want. As you will see from the agenda for the AGM much is changing, including the Association’s Rules.

  • 'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
    ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum.

The yearbook is a true collaboration, Doug Lamont who puts it together, would have nothing without the contributions from members and support from our generous sponsors and advertisers.

We are a family run, rural, marine based establishment along the Wild Atlantic Way primarily engaged in the tourist business. We live on the Beara Peninsula and as well as working in the marine environment, we spend much of our leisure time involved with dinghy racing (we are members of Bantry Sailing Club and Kinsale Yacht Club), Sea Kayaking (we are members of West Cork Kayaking Club) windsurfing, sea swimming and surfing. We enjoy living and working on the sea and we love sharing and showing this wonderful biome with friends, family, visitors and locals alike. We want to preserve and conserve what we have for our (and their) children and grand children to enjoy as much as we do. We would like to see the Marine Spatial Development Plan have Marine Conservation as its central theme. This, as opposed to “marine economic development” which it currently appears to be directed toward. Ireland is lucky in that much of its marine environment is still pristine. In a world where 60% of the planets living organisms have recently become extinct due to anthropogenic influence and where irreversible climate change is less than 12 years from now, we feel that the baseline report on the MSDP does not nearly begin to address these critical issues but instead focus on an outdated economic policy and resource grabbing.

  • A Tall Tale of Tall Ships
    A TALL TALE OF TALL SHIPS by PETER LYONS At the end of 1990, when it became apparent that the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race was going to come to Ireland for the first time, some members of the Northern Ireland Area Old Gaffers Association got to talk. Alan Hidden, our Area Hon. Secretary had received the rules governing the participation of craft in the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race. He mentioned to Adrian Spence, the owner of VILIA, that his boat was eligible to enter the race. Adrian queried this with Alan who told him that to enter a boat in the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race, it had to have a waterline length greater than thirty feet and that half of the crew must be between the ages of 16 and 25. Adrian being an adventurous type had his imagination stimulated by this information and the next thing I knew was that I was being asked when my holidays could be taken the following summer. I work in the manufacturing industry and my holidays are set from year to year, but when I checked the relevant dates I discovered I could go on the trip by extending my holiday by one or two days, I told Adrian this and although the furthest I had sailed previously had been various day sails to Scotland and the Isle of Man he said he would start the ball rolling to enter VILIA in the 1991 Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race. The next problem to overcome was who was going to be the crew.

  • Turtle Ship - Wikipedia
    2/28/2021 Turtle ship - Wikipedia Turtle ship A Geobukseon (Korean: 거북선, Korean pronunciation: [kʌbuksən]), also known as turtle ship in western descriptions, was a type of large Korean warship that was used intermittently by the Royal Korean Navy during the Joseon dynasty from the early 15th century up until the 19th century. It was used alongside the panokseon warships in the fight against invading Japanese naval ships. The ship's name derives from its protective shell-like covering.[1] One of a number of pre-industrial armoured ships developed in Europe and in East Asia, this design has been described by some as the first armored ship in the world.[2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_ship 1/14 2/28/2021 Turtle ship - Wikipedia A scaled-down turtle ship replica at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul.

  • Swan River Belonging: Social and Emotional Interactions with an Urban River in the South West of Western Australia
    Swan River Belonging: social and emotional interactions with an urban river in the South West of Western Australia Marie Seeman Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology, University of Queensland This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Western Australia. School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology 2008 Marie Seeman 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I explore concepts of belonging in relation to the Swan River of Perth, Western Australia. The primary focus of my research was on the various ways in which people expressed their social and emotional connections to a waterway often referred to as the 'soul of the city'. The people consulted derived from two main groups: a local inner city catchment group and a collection of artists. Drawing on literature such as Kay Milton's theories of emotion, culture and the environment to explain my ethnographic data, I show how and why people's interactions with the Swan River are motivated and enacted. This thesis demonstrates that human relationships with rivers such as the Swan are complicated by themes that include nostalgia, memory, aesthetics, space, proximity, ecological concerns and development issues. By drawing on a range of methods (participant observation, interviewing) and travel modes (walking, cycling), I found that current day practices were affected by historical decision making for both indigenous and non-indigenous groups. My research conveys the value of doing socio-cultural research on rivers in urban and in other contexts,
