30 YEARS AGO July 1991, CB37 Another interesting cover from decades ago. Rather than the ‘single boat’ style we adhere to now, here is a fleet of Rainbow Class keelboats racing in the Netherlands. The photo is by Peter Chesworth and inside there is an article by Rob Maynard on these little boats, first sailed over a century ago in 1917. The big yacht in this issue is Orianda, a 74ft (22.6m) schooner built in Denmark in 1937 to a design by Carl Andersen. There is one of John Leather’s famously authoritative articles, this time on the boatbuilding Burgoine brothers, a well known name on the Upper Thames, where many of their creations, from steam launches to Thames A Raters, survive to this day. There’s an ad for Davey & Company, the chandler that was established in 1885, and which changed hands very recently – more on that in next month’s issue. Best of all is an article called ‘Fitting out in the Fifties’ in which an old-timer called John Teale reminisces about red-hot pokers used to re-melt caulking glue, a man who built a plywood pram dinghy in a morning, bituminous paint, and a boat so leaky that its berths were covered in plastic sheeting like a four-poster bed!
