Description:
It is the opinion of many that NIRVANA should be classed as one of the prettiest boats ever designed - as can be expected from the pen of artist with yacht design as a hobby, Albert Strange. Designed in 1915 - one of his longest canoe yawls - the First World War intervened and her exquisite lines weren't given life by Jack Tyrrell of Arklow until after Strange's death. Stout construction from Irish oak and American pitch pine, oak rather than iron and steel floors, and many lovers over almost a century have ensured NIRVANA's survival - helped in no little way by falling into the hands of Albert Strange aficionados, the Clays of Woodbridge. She was very well named from birth, and is a dream to own and sail - particularly well set up for sailing by a couple. My love affair with this boat began in the late 80s; and I bought her in 1989. Then followed the extensive restoration by well respected East Coast boatbuilder Jamie Clay - detailed below. In my ownership of about 35 years NIRVANA has travelled a fair distance. The first trip was from the Clyde to Harwich prior to her restoration. After her restoration she proved a dry sea boat and we sailed to Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. As a restored and well cared-for vessel she has been welcomed everywhere - especially amongst her classic contemporaries. - Keel bolts replaced like-for-like in wrought iron - Garboards renewed in iroko - Hull re-caulked. - Rudder blade renewed - Rudder stock more recently replaced in stainless steel - with new epoxy/glass rudder tube and new bearings - Removal of the 1950s dog house - Cabin trunk disconnected and raised clear of deck - Replacement of all deck beams and carlins - New subdeck of 12 mm Bruynzeel marine plywood - New quarter sawn 9 mm laid teak deck covering - set in epoxy; sealed with Sikaflex (no screws or plugs) - New teak rail and capping laid - A clever deck/ covering board overlap ensured a totally dry deck - Extension of the cabin sides.
