Pues justo por eso, Chifle, sacaba el punto de quien hay en realidad detras y respondiendo de unos planos. Basta cambiar de materiales, tipo y calidad de madera por ejemplo, y el barco se malogra y con ello las ilusiones y recursos de un entusiasta autoconstructor, quien cuanto menos experimentado mas consejos posventa de planos va a necesitar, pero no a mil por llamada.
Va a ser cosa de convencer a Johan del Alea, un maquina, de que navegar es muy humedo y con ir de vez en cuando a Ibiza y Mallorca ya le vale, y que nos suelde una pequeña serie de 5 o 6 Vertues en acero , que nosotros se los colocamos enseguida
"Over 100 Vertues have been built world wide. Most were built in England and by several different builders Cheoy Lee built a few in the late 50's and early 60's "The pedigree of this sporting English thoroughbred goes back to 1936 when Jack Laurent Giles introduced Andrillot - a gaff rigged cutter along the lines of a Bristol Channel pilot cutter. Since then almost 200 Vertues have been built with many long ocean voyages to their credit. The original design has been continuously modified and improved over the years whilst the basic hull form has been maintained."
The Vertue II
Laurent Giles and Partners have now given their famous flagship a new lease of life by producing her in GRP. The Mark II Vertue embodies all the best features of her predecessors but has taken full advantage of modern technology in spars, fittings etc. to produce a yacht of the highest quality. Her beam has been increased by 8 inches and the cockpit extended further aft. A single spreader masthead rig has simplified matters on deck and improved her performance on the wind."
