Boat Plans Building
Continuing the theme of favourite designers and their yachts I come to the very attractive Vertue, from the board of Jack Laurent Giles. (1901-1965) She obviously stirs my heart, because I’ve done two previous articles featuring Vertues, specifically, ‘Maid of Tessa’* and ‘Hussar’.** To me, Vertues have their virtues; they are very attractive yachts, not only because I love their lines, but because they have proven themselves to be exceptionally seaworthy. Vertue No 1 was built in 1936, and since then over 200 have been launched, perhaps none of them more impeccably crafted than at the Cheoy Lee yard.***
For an introduction to the history and the development of the class, from wooden construction to GRP, have a look at this Australian website*** by the owner of ‘Corio Vertue’.
