'Bystander' offered for sale by Sandeman Yacht Company

“BYSTANDER OF MAN” " EUR 1,200,000 Charles E Nicholson 82 ft TSDY 1934

BYSTANDER was born with superb purpose revealed in her name - as original tender to the J-Class racing yacht VELSHEDA - and it is a little known fact that she was far from a spectator at Dunkirk in 1940 when saving 99 souls from drowning. Subsequently BYSTANDER has been cherished as the beautiful yacht that she is: a remarkably untampered with survivor from another age, exuding authenticity and atmosphere while still offering all that one would expect of a motor yacht of her length; a wonderful size that, depending on experience, requires as few crew as one desires - maybe even none. With her after accommodation reinstated after the J-Class tender days, she continues to offer stately comfort for six guests in four cabins, and to turn heads in Riviera anchorages.

Specification Designer    Charles E Nicholson Builder    Camper & Nicholson Gosport Date    1934 Length overall    82 ft 0 in / 24.99 m Length deck    82 ft 0 in / 24.99 m Length waterline    75 ft 0 in / 22.86 m Beam    16 ft 0 in / 4.88 m Draft    6 ft 0 in / 1.83 m Displacement    80 Tonnes Construction    Carvel teak on part composite frames Engine    2 x 94hp Gardner 5LW Location    France Price    POA

HISTORY A season of racing his J-Class racing yacht VELSHEDA around the coast will easily have persuaded BYSTANDER’s commissioning owner and relative newcomer to yacht ownership, Woolworths stores chairman WL “Bill” Stephenson, of the need for his own handy and comfortable tender to act as mother ship, floating hotel, tow-boat and ship's stores.

But BYSTANDER began life as a "stock boat", laid down speculatively at Camper & Nicholson’s Gosport yard to keep their highly skilled workforce busy during a Great Depression-fuelled lull. Stock boats by famous yards with famous in-house designers are among the purest – because the architect is able to design and build what he thinks is right, without client input. Charles E Nicholson certainly got it right with BYSTANDER; he never got much wrong.

Stephenson had first set eyes on her at an advanced stage of construction, and obviously liked what he saw. Before long all accommodation aft of the engine room was being removed to create space for VELSHEDA's equipment.

BYSTANDER was launched at Gosport on 14 April 1934, two days before the launch there of the UK’s 3rd J-Class yacht, T.O.M. Sopwith’s America’s Cup challenger ENDEAVOUR. BYSTANDER being fitted-out close to the launching slip features in photographs and newsreel film of that special occasion; it was her first act of bystanding!

Stephenson didn’t keep VELSHEDA for long. ENDEAVOUR II’s loss to RANGER in the 1937 America’s Cup match heralded the end of J-Class activity both sides of the Atlantic. The J was laid up on the Hamble River - she would remain there for over 40 years until her first 1980s restoration - and BYSTANDER was replaced as Stephenson’s motor yacht by the larger MALAHNE, also designed and built by Camper & Nicholson.

Her new owner was long time managing director of the Daily Mirror newspaper and Rear Commodore of the Royal Southampton Yacht Club, Wallace D Roome, but the advent of the second world war made this a short-lived affair, with BYSTANDER becoming government requisitioned for war service with the British Admiralty's mine countermeasures base, HMS Vernon, and recorded as working out of Brightlingsea, Essex, Lowestoft, Suffolk, and Port Edgar on the Firth of Forth.

It's a little known fact that she was far from a BYSTANDER at Dunkirk in May 1940 when she saved 99 souls: crew and evacuees from the bombed and sunk Isle of Man Steam Packet ferry KING ORRY, and soldiers from the shore. Her cook, Jesse Elton from Poole, who single-handedly swam to rescue 25 from KING ORRY eventually received the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal from the King at Buckingham Palace.

Decommissioning was followed by a post-war series of short ownerships in UK waters, including Wing Commander (later Group Captain) J Shepherd, who was stationed in the north of Scotland, with her port of registry changing to Inverness, followed by retired naval commander HB Crane CBE.

She then enjoyed a brief period of use as the floating studio of American born sculptor and yachtswoman Mrs Pauline Boumphrey and her artist friends, including time in Paris and on the Seine.

BYSTANDER was a participant in the 1953 Coronation Review of the [Royal Navy] Fleet off Spithead, probably under the ownership of publisher and Member of Parliament Colonel Oliver Crosthwaite-Eyre, MP.

Life was never boring during her first 20 years: many different roles and owners, not all mentioned here…

At some point in the early 1960s she headed south to the Mediterranean and her ownership history, hidden behind company names, becomes harder to trace, though one known owner in the early 1970s was French operetta composer Francis Lopez. What is clear is that BYSTANDER has always been cherished.

Iconic 'little blue boat' that calls Montrose Bay home up for sale after family makes tough decision

For almost 50 years a little blue boat has been moored on the River Derwent in Hobart's northern suburbs by the side of a busy highway.

It is known affectionately by many Tasmanians as "the little blue boat", and has floated alone next to the Brooker Highway at Montrose Bay over the decades.

Sea Breeze, its official name, was built by Robin Attrill in his Montrose backyard in the early 1970s.

His son Colin Attrill said the boat was launched at Macquarie Wharf in 1976.

"It's been on the mooring in Montrose Bay ever since, and that's why it's such an iconic little blue boat," he said.

Tasmanians curious about 'little blue boat'

The boat is an object of fascination for Brooker Highway motorists and foreshore walkers due to it seemingly never moving.

Colin Attrill said it was "absolutely amazing" the number of people who would stop and talk to him about the boat when he was launching the dinghy to go and check on it.

"The number of people that talk to me that are walking past and go 'that boat has been there forever' and 'it was there when I was going to school or every day when I've been driving to work'," he said.

"Some people say they've never seen it move. Well it used to move all the time.

"Of late it's slowed up, we're all busy and dad has slowed up. We lost mum and once that happened it impacted on family activities."

Tough decision to sell

Its owner is now 91 and the boat has not been sailed for about 10 years.

Colin Attrill said the family had recently made the tough decision to try to sell the boat.

"Dad isn't well and he's gotten old, which we all do, and the boat's got old," he said.

"Anyone who knows about a timber boat knows that they need maintenance."

Mr Attrill said the family used to put the boat on the slip at least once a year to clean and antifoul it, and do any repairs.

"But the past few years Dad has been unable to do anything, and the boat unfortunately has just sat on the mooring," he said.

He said the family decided it was time for the boat to have a new owner.

"Nobody is using it, it needs a new owner who will give it the time and get the enjoyment out of it that we had growing up," he said.

"It's a great boat, and there are many years left. Wooden boats just last."

'Next phase' for the boat

The Attrill family is full of passionate sailors and Robin's brother Peter represented Australia in sailing at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952 — Tasmania's fifth Olympian and the first to represent the state in sailing.

When Robin finished building the 25-foot river cruiser, known by the family as The Breeze, it was used for trips away around Hobart.

"We used to have family trips down the channel, down to Cygnet, down to Dover, and all places in between fishing and weekends away," he said.

"We also used to go to events in Hobart like the Hobart Regatta, the Sandy Bay Regatta. We'd be down the river at any chance, or up the river. She made it to New Norfolk a couple of times.

"The boat was all over the place, wherever we could."

Mr Attrill said it would be a sad day when the boat left Montrose Bay after almost 50 years.

"We will see where it goes and where it ends up and what's the next phase for the boat," he said.

Over the years its owner has been keeping a watchful eye on it just a matter of metres away, across the Brooker Highway from his Montrose home of more than 70 years.

"He's always been there. He'd open the blinds in the morning in the kitchen and look out the window and there's the boat," son Colin said.

"It's always been a part of his life."
