The value of preserving of the past. Let alone hoisting a gaff sail! And participation the history of a bygone era which somehow comes to life in these meetings is constantly increasing, along with many before our very eyes thanks to their presence. owners’ enthusiasm to go all out and make their boats, whether big or small, shine on their own. Leonardo García de Vincentiis, expert in classic yachts, spokesman for the Asociación Española de Barcos de Época So what makes classic yachts so appealing? By definition y Classics (AEBEC) they are antiques. One could compare them to classic cars, and of the Real Asociación Nacional de Cruceros (RANC) which also have their fans and competitions. But at the same time, there’s a big difference between antique cars and boats: No one today would think of using a fifty-year-old car on a daily basis. Much less ones from the 1920s and 1930s… yet, the boats from this era and even earlier, sail on a daily basis, and not just for shows and regattas, but also for their owners’ pleasure cruises off to distant islands, just like any modern boat.

IX EDITION | 13 TO 16 JULY, 2016 11 ELEMENTS TO CONSIDER IN ASSESSING A CLASSIC BOAT AND ITS RESTORATION:

1. Almost all period ships belong to the “bronze era”, meaning that the deck fittings are of this material, na- turally or, more recently, plated. From the mid-1950s, stainless steel started to take over.

2. Similarly, in terms of the knots the trend is toward ultra modern materials such as mylar or kevlar, that don’t fit at all with rigs which are eminently elastic.

3. Few boats still use cotton sails, but the feel and “sme- ll” offer a very unique experience that distinguishes the classics.

4. On the deck of an old boat, the central and lateral floor boards always have angular joints as opposed to rounded ones. Rounding corners is a modern custom.

5. Generally, in the biggest and oldest period ships (pre- 1930s), the boons are hung from the top timbers. Whereas in more modern ships, the boon is a smooth fender.
