Although I am 85 and Regards and best wishes for 2015 have never set foot at either the JRA or Sebastião de Castello-Branco Thank you for your membership on any junk, I have always been keen renewal reminder. I think that it is about sailing. And I hope in the sadly time for me to up anchor. Last September I was sailing in Mr. Hardy (10' 6" Mirror, junk-rigged of course) in the Estuary and managed to tip her over. This should not be a great problem, I righted the boat easily enough. However I no longer have the strength to climb in ! I rigged a strop between the limber holes in the transom and had a few trips but finally passed the boat on to a couple of local lads. The paper magazine has been a cracking read and I will miss it. I had looked forward to a sail in a slightly bigger boat. This did not happen as I no longer drive, (cue: Hearts and Flowers) and so am not so mobile. So it is Goodbye from me and I wish you all a peaceful Christmas and lots of sailing under Junk rigs; and huge thanks to Robin Blain who gave me the bits that got me into J. R. sailing.

  • Santa Maria Manuela Manual
    SANTA MARIA MANUELA SHIPS MANUAL FOR TRAINEE GUESTS WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION Santa Maria Manuela (SMM) was launched on May 10 1937, in Lisbon, Portugal. The ship was built in the CUF shipyard in 62 days, together with its sister ship Creoula. The moment when the hull of SMM touched the waters of the River Tagus was witnessed by thousands, capturing the hearts of the people of Portugal, and marking the beginning of an iconic journey. Between 1937 and 1993, SMM transported thousands of sailors to Newfoundland and Greenland in the pursuit of cod, the prize catch for the people of Portugal. Life was harsh onboard. Sailors had to contend with cramped cold conditions below decks, and above with the bitter chill of the north winds, frequent storms and long hours fishing the perilous seas of the Grand Banks in small boats. In 1940 a new danger emerged; the submarines of the II World War. Santa Maria Manuela is one of the last ships of the mythical White Fleet – a group of cod-fishing vessels that had their hulls painted white to avoid being torpedoed during the military conflicts. Between 2007 and 2010 the ship was rebuilt by the fishing group Pascoal, and subsequently was taken on by Recheio Cash & Carry, part of the Jeronimo Martins Group. The farsighted vision of the current owners has created a culture of sail training, expedition, exploration and team development aboard the Santa Maria Manuela. Passenger trainees are welcomed aboard as members of the sailing crew. During your voyage you will be given every opportunity get personally involved in the sailing of the ship.

  • The Way of the Sea
    1 The Way of the Sea Cheney Duvall stared up at the great clouds of soaring sail, though her eyes watered from the sun and salt sting. The Brynn Annalea had found a tail of the northeast trade winds, strong and hot, to wend her fast down Baja and push her easily over the Tropic of Cancer. Her sharp prow knifed the water, the jib with the lucky shark’s fin mounted on it splashing in the wave crests. She was a beautiful thing, fast, sharp-hulled, streamlined, proud. And dangerous. Cheney shouted up at Shiloh, and he was shouting back down at her. Neither of them could possibly hear the other, but both of them kept on. “You idiot! Come down from there this instant! You are going to fall and die!” Cheney shrieked. He made an impatient gesture—Get below, you dumb girl!— which made Cheney’s heart almost stop, for he had let go with one arm to make jabbing “get below” motions to her. Twelve seamen were perched along the bucking, straining yard, feet kicked back against the footrope, bellies pressed against the yard, hands gathering up the heavy canvas. Cheney watched, horrified, as they struggled to roll the great main royal sail around the yard. Finally it was wound as neatly as thread on a spool, and the sailors, with strong and agile movements, passed lengths of rope around sail and yard and made it fast with hitches. One by one they started edging back along the yard, making for the weather shrouds to scamper down.

  • After 88 Years - Four-Masted Barque PEKING Back in Her Homeport Hamburg
    Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 After 88 Years - Four-masted Barque PEKING Back In Her Homeport Hamburg Four-masted barque PEKING - shifting Wewelfsfleth to Hamburg - September 2020 On February 25, 1911 - 109 years ago - the four-masted barque PEKING was launched for the Hamburg ship- ping company F. Laeisz at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. The 115-metres long, and 14.40 metres wide cargo sailing ship had no engine, and was robustly constructed for transporting saltpetre from the Chilean coast to European ports. The ship owner’s tradition of naming their ships with words beginning with the letter “P”, as well as these ships’ regular fast voyages, had sailors all over the world call the Laeisz sailing ships “Flying P-Liners”. The PEKING is part of this legendary sailing ship fleet, together with a few other survivors, such as her sister ship PASSAT, the POMMERN and PADUA, the last of the once huge fleet which still is in active service as the sail training ship KRUZENSHTERN. Before she was sold to England in 1932 as stationary training ship and renamed ARETHUSA, the PEKING passed Cape Horn 34 times, which is respected among seafarers because of its often stormy weather. In 1975 the four-master, renamed PEKING, was sold to the USA to become a museum ship near the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. There the old ship quietly rusted away until 2016 due to the lack of maintenance. -Af ter returning to Germany in very poor condition in 2017 with the dock ship COMBI DOCK III, the PEKING was meticulously restored in the Peters Shipyard in Wewelsfleth to the condition she was in as a cargo sailing ship at the end of the 1920s.
