Introduction
Mew Gull was built by Robin E Johnson of Colchester, commencing in 1979 and
eventually launching in August 1984.
She was launched by Maurice Griffiths’ wife, Marjorie and the designer later
wrote about her “I was much impressed with the skill of the builder and the
care he took over various details to ensure strength and general water
tightness. I think very few boats have been built with such attention to
detail; were I twenty years younger, I would very much like to have bought
her myself.”
Mew Gull has since featured in Yachting Monthly several times.
Construction
Mew Gull has a softly rounded stem with a slightly raked transom stern and
transom hung rudder of mahogany with an Iroko tiller, gudgeons and pintles
of bronze.
The displacement hull form features a long ballast keel secured with 6 steel
keel boats, and unballasted bilge keels of laminated oak, fastened with
steel bolts and having a sacrificial shoe and steel rubbing strips.
The hull is of traditional carvel construction planked with selected larch,
copper fastened to oak steam bent timbers and floors. Larch stringers, beam
shelf and deck beam, with varnished mahogany coamings which extend the cabin
top and side deck to full beam, thereby giving the cabin space equivalent to
a much larger yacht.
The deck is of marine ply laid over conventional deck beams with an epoxy
resin sheathing finished with a light grey anti-slip surface.
The externally fitted galvanized chain plates are through bolted with
galvanized bolts.
The varnished mahogany doors are very convenient for entering inside, there
is no need to slide the main hatch open. There is also a washboard that
slides in if required.
The cockpit is self draining, with inset engine control panel and shore
power socket. The water proof cockpit lockers are substantially made from
varnished iroko mini planking and covered with non-slip granules.
All brightwork is covered with 10 coats of Coelan boat coating. I have been
using this high end product for nearly 20 years now, and if maintained will
last 10 years.
The robust varnished mahogany davits are very convenient for carrying a
small dinghy in sheltered waters. (I actually carried a wood clinker dinghy
from France to Turkey and back for 5 years on the davits, although when
sailing in the Atlantic I lashed it on the deck.)
Galvanized pulpit, stanchions and cockpit guardrail are all at good height.
Spars and rig
Masthead bermudan rig to the original design with black anodised alloy mast
and boom by Sailspar.
The boom is secured in an Iroko and bronze boom gallows, so no swaying
around in high winds.
Stainless steel rigging, with Sta-lok terminals and chromed bronze bottle
screws.
Furling headsail gear, with
continuous line reefing. Slab reefing for the mainsail, with boom mounted
winch and cleats. 2 mast halyard winches and 2 Lewmar self tailing cockpit
mounted sheet winches.
Forestay 8mm
Lower shrouds 8mm
Upper shrouds 6mm
Back stays 6mm
An emergency forestay is permanently fixed ready to take the storm jib
Sails
All tan coloured for appearance, good visibility and lack of sun glare:
3 reef main, roller genoa, jib, storm jib and storm trysail all in good
condition, genoa has been re-stitched.
Engine
Beta Marine (BD902) 25 hp 3600 rpm indirect injection 4 stroke water cooled
diesel engine based on Kubota 3 cylinder for smooth running, low emission
and excellent fuel consumption between 1 and 1.3lts per hour, 40 amp
alternator, TMC 40M gearbox.
Complete rear end overhaul from coupling to 3 blade bronze propeller
including shaft and stern tube - 2016
Engine installed in 2007, serviced annually.
Accommodation
Mew Gull offers a four berth layout in two separate cabins following the
original design. The raised and full width side decks give an unexpected
living space with 1.80m headroom, this is a very comfortable yacht.
From forward:
Forward bulkhead with chain locker and warp stowage. A double berth with an
upholstered mattress, headlining insulation of 20mm cork. Clothes locker and
bookshelves and two reading lamps.
Above is a waterproof double coaming iroko hatch. When open, perfect for
watching the stars.
Nicely varnished cabin sole boards throughout and a warm feel with the
varnished mahogany joinery. Large stowage area under the berth.
The sliding door then leads aft to the half size hanging locker with a 12v
35 lt draw fridge under, the danfoss compressor is below in the bottom
locker.
Opposite are the heads with a simple, leak/smell free bucket with lid, set
in a mahogany box toilet. A cabinet behind with a wash bowl.
The aft varnished mahogany bulkhead has another sliding door leading to the
saloon.
The saloon is open plan and very comfortable with a good depth to the port
and starboard settees, fitted with deep cushions and backrests. The slats
that make up the settees are slightly curved for comfort. There are stowage
lockers beneath and behind the settees, there are bookshelves and a leaded
glass drinks cabinet. Two lamps and two ceiling lights.
The cast iron Davey's Hot-Pot wood burner makes it very cozy on a cold wet
night.
The red Turkish carpet and two oil lamps set it off wonderfully.
A half height bulkhead with pillars and cut out grab holds divides an
outward facing chart table on the starboard and galley to port. The chart
table has a lifting flap with stowage draw and navigation instruments and
switches are mounted adjacently.
The galley is equipped with a two burner gas cooker, the galley work surface
is tiled and a cover over the stainless steel sink. Culinary utensils,
crockery and cutlery have space in the lockers and on the shelves.
The deckhead is lined to provide insulation and prevent condensation. There
are 7 ceiling lockers for all those tiny items one accumulates.
Four portlights make it bright; they each have a roll blind for covering.

Double bow roller, starboard side for the main anchor, a 15kg Rocna and 50m
of 8mm galvanized chain.

Remarks
The bilge keel configuration is ideal, she turns and tacks consistently. In
light airs she gathers way after a tack without initial leeway and in winds
of force 4 or more the leeway angle is very acceptable. The design is
legendary for good balance, lightness of helm and the ability to hold a
course unattended for long periods. The ability to take the ground is of
course of great value. The ports in the raised coaming give plenty of light
and the external view can be seen whilst seated in the saloon. The large
clear deck space means that the sails and gear can be handled in a simple
and practical way. For the past twenty five years she has proved the owner's
ideal yacht.
I have sailed from the UK down the French canals to the Med, across to
Croatia, Greece and Turkey, back into the French canal system, out into the
Atlantic, north Spain, Portugal, isla Canarias, Cabo Verdes, and Senegal, it
is quite a capable vessel and sea kindly, also a great liveaboard for the
past 25 years.
Mew Gull
The name was changed from ‘Lindisfarne’, by the previous owner. It was a
1930’s racing aeroplane. There were six constructed, in 1939 G-AEXF raced
single handed from London to Cape Town and back in record time…it still
holds the record today.
MG is also the initials of Maurice Griffiths
Mew Gull has featured in:
Yachting Monthly classic yacht supplement August 1991
Landmark designers and their boats - Maurice Griffiths, champion of the
shoal-draught cruiser.

In December 1997, a picture of Mew Gull appeared for Maurice Griffiths

Mew Gull has also been reviewed by The Boatman, for future publication.

Built over the course of 10 years by carpenter Frank Mayo,
"Paubi-Lou" has been lovingly and skillfully built. Most of her life she
has been sailed out of Fleetwood and sailed up and down the West coast
of the UK and across to Ireland. An accomplished sailor, Frank won many
club races on her in his time. She is full of character and a fantastic
boat with impressive performance to windward and fast acceleration.
Frank lengthened the original 26ft design to 28ft to give more space and
headroom as well as make her longer and faster in the water. I acquired
"Paubi-Lou" due to Frank being unable to sail her anymore, she was
recently featured in the RCC tidings magazine covering my time with her.
A considerable amount of time and effort has been undertaken in order to
restore her to her former glory, as well as update her. She has often
been commented on for her attractive looks during our time on the
Hamble. Unfortunately I am now
looking to sell her now due to a change
in career. Looking
for a loving new home, with enthusiastic owners who will carry on her
Eventide legacy.

For Sale: GRP Eventide 26. Project boat. 'Glass Tide'.
This photo of her taken when crossing the Estuary over 14 years back... since then she was taken ashore to fix various issues, engine, rudder, cooker etc. but has not been finished.
Below a selection of photos of the gear and the past and current condition.
Eventide 26 moulded in GRP. As far as we know the only one
ever moulded in GRP.
It is now a project, as the boat was taken ashore at
Tollesbury 12 years or so back for what was supposed to be a year’s refit, a
change of engine and stern gear, sort hatches and free jammed inboard steel rudder,
replace rubbing bands and a lick of paint etc. Then after a
few years, John became poorly... So she is still there.
Ali mast and
roller reefing gear in store there too.
I, John W. have helped him with a lot of the work, cutting out the old
seized inboard rudder and acquired a set of new stainless rudder fittings for transom
rudder. Never fitted.
The very old Volvo 5hp was removed and a good Yanmar GM10 9hp
acquired, engineer refurbished. In store in Tillingham. New
engine bearers have to be made and fitted.
The old prop shaft and prop removed and also needs replacing….
One inch ID bearings and stern tube still in place.
Replacement stainless fuel tank ready to fit.
I also made him a new bowsprit from a plank of teak he supplied,
donated a few fittings to fasten to it, and have that here along with
the Yanmar and loads of other bits…
He also has a garage full of gear in Milton Keynes.
Were I ten years younger I would have leapt at the chance to restore
her, as she will not suffer any wood rot in the hull, there is none!
She would be trail-able, just, with the right 4 wheel trailer and
a heavy tow vehicle, Land Rover or the like. OK for
taking home at the end of the season.
I know she had near new tan sails, slab reef main, staysail and roller reefing genoa. Only used for a few weeks, and loads of other kit and gear in store at Milton Keynes, and here with me in Tillingham.
Gimbaled
Cooker with 2 burners, grill and oven, pan
fiddle rails.
Berth cushions.
Radar reflector to fit to mast.
Fenders, warps.
length 5/16 anchor chain and anchor.
B
Host of other extras.
Boat and mast etc. in Tollesbury boat yard, will need trailer to
shift it.
Some of these parts are in Tillingham and some Milton Keynes.
A lot of work but the price will be £1500, ono.
Being
realistic, and not in the best health, John has wisely decided to
pass her on.

For Sale: Golden Hind ketch 'Safrel'
The Golden Hind 31’s
are one of Maurice Griffith’s most popular designs. They have completed
numerous ocean crossings but at the same time they are capable of navigating
shallow waters, and drying out upright thanks to the long keel and bilge
plates. They are spacious and comfortable to live aboard, with over six feet
headroom throughout. The ketch rig gives flexibility and easy handling, and
the materials quality is high – the cabin sole boards are one-inch thick
solid teak, and most of the exterior woodwork is also teak.

Description
This boat is a 1949 Alan Buchanan designed 19ft
Wild Duck Sloop. The original owner started building this beautiful yacht in
1979 and took meticulous care in how he did so, using quality materials. He
first launched her in 2016. She is constructed with ¾ inch Brazilian
Mahogany on an Oak Hull – Edge nailed strip planking with Cascophen
Adhesive. She is epoxy sheathed to her water line and is fitted with a 10hp
Beta Marine Engine.
Sellers comments
I discovered the boat where she has been left out
and suffered some neglect from the elements. I spent several months
restoring her with the help of professional services who re-caulked the teak
deck and restored some of the woodwork. She is painted with marine paint by
‘Skippers’ (Colour Avorio - Ivory) and was sealed with an epoxy coating and
antifouled before she went back into the water in 2021. Repairs were made to
the vessel’s mast and the engine has been serviced by a former RNLI
technician, although with only 28 hours use, it is in superb condition.
She is a real classic, meticulously built over 37
years with love and commitment. She is in great condition due to a lot of
work to restore her from where she had been left out.
There are minor areas requiring on going work as
part of her general maintenance, some of which are inside, but nothing
outside of normal expectation for the management of a wooden boat. I would
like to see her go to someone who has a real appreciation for this style of
boat and the craftsmanship, materials and history behind her. She really is
a most seaworthy solid wooden boat with, style, character, and charm. I am
confident that you will not find another ‘Wild Duck’ anywhere which is built
to the same standard.
Please see the attached two you tube videos for
viewing along with some before and after photos from the current owner’s
restoration.

For Sale: The Famous Eventide 24, 'Borer Bee'
This is one of the very first Eventides to be built, sail number 3! She was sailed from Singapore to the UK in 1958!
She has been through many owners and we hoped that the present owner would be restoring her to sail gently on a lake in the north somewhere, sadly the owners health has suddenly deteriorated and he is forced to sell. Step forward a competent woodworker and enthusiast, to save this little bit of history.
She should be on the 'Classic Boat' register.
This is a photo of borer Bee, taken by former owner Tony some years ago. she could look like this again, with a little work!
Famous Eventide number 3, 'Bora Bee'. See article on logs page of the
Eventide website about the return voyage from Singapore to the UK in 1958.
She is in good condition and does not need much work.
Work needed.
1. Small amount of rot on the transom coaming.
2. Repair at foot of mast for crack and some rot.
3. Standing rigging is required.
4. Bilge keel shoes need replacing.
She has a full set of sails and all the spars.
She sits on my heavy duty road trailer, the hitch has just been replaced.
I have invested over £5000 in saving Bora Bee, she just needs a good home.
I am returning to the USA for medical treatment and cannot complete
restoration.
