Pasco's Boatyard started in 1771. When it was sold to new owners
Craig Brown and Chris De Glanville in 2013, one of their aims was
to preserve the traditions of wooden boats in the St Just Creek,
and to foster the shipwright skills required to build and maintain
them. Under previous ownership, the thrust of the yard's activities
had been towards mooring, wintering, and maintaining boats for
their owners-it was now time to change. One of the first decisions
of the new owners was to agree on a way of demonstrating those
skills and traditions, so what better way than to design and build
the first new Pasco's boat in over a decade? It would also
demonstrate to the local community the yard's commitment to
expanding maritime employment in the St Just area. There was no
better man to lead the team than Bob Edwards, who was a
well-established designer and builder of boats, as well as an
enthusiastic owner of an earlier Pasco's P21 Motor Launch. A few
discussions, and several nights of drawing plans and making
calculations later, and the stage was set for the new P23 to become
the next of the long line of Pasco's built boats. This book follows
that build.
