Summary:
Used 1949
Location:
Coatham Mundeville
Description:
I was impressed by the brightwork not only on deck but also within the confines of the cosy cabin areas below. The current owner entrusted the upgrade of the boat to Mark Stanley formerly of Stanley and Thomas boatbuilders in Windsor. He bought her in 2016 impressed by the elegance of the lines and the suitability of the boat for extensive cruising. He now finds himself more often cruising and teaching sailing on the coast so Thelmarie is not ideal for parties of teenagers learning to sail! The owner had a new beta marine 4 cylinder diesel installed alongside the Yanmar GM10 wing engine, both easily accessible from the wheelhouse. Originally the boat was built of mahogany on oak as a motoryacht to a Mylne design in Bute Scotland by none other than the Bute Dock company in 1949. The high quality mahogany planking was left over from the construction of torpedo boats during WWII. She was made for a lone cruising gent who used to cruise the Western Isles of Scotland. A chain-winch was installed for him to assist in solo cruising and possibly the boat had an open birdpit at that time where now the wheelhouse exists. Originally tthere was a mast with jib and trysail with a boom going over the wheelhouse(or birdpit areas0 with a sail of 180 sq ft. This was removed in 1981 and finally replaced in 2000 by a 12 inch Douglas Fir signals mast with mahogany crosstrees. Some interesting history of ownership is available from 1968 onwards as the boat slowly makes its way to a Thames based owner who used the boat with his children of 7 and 10 accompanied by a Bassett hound who apparently loved to dive in for a swim. At that time the boat still had its sail and a handsome brass light on the wheelhouse roof, a forn and decks of painted canvas in beige. Mr Stead and family relocated to Kent taking Thelmarie with them and enjoying cruising in waves with '6 ft drops from peaks to troughs'. For a while she became a live-aboard while he was house hunting. Finally. Still available at ListedBuy!
