Gregory's ServerGalway Blazer II, an unconventional junk-rigged schooner designed by English naval architect Angus Primrose and built at Souter’s, in Cowes, Isle of Wight, in 1967, for a much-decorated wartime submarine commander, Bill King, who intended to sail her alone around the world.

@neauoire It lacked adequate ballast and thus critical stability but she was a beautiful concept. She also enclosed some of James Wharram's ideas about flexible, multi-purpose interior spaces transposed to a monohull. When I was aboard, the forward half of the boat was decorated in a distinctly North African style, lots of large cushions for seating/lounging, an oriental carpet (or two), and swinging bronze lanterns. The only conventional berth was a pilot cot aft.  |
