LADY ROSE Enquiry

“In our company we measure our design objectives against Jack Hargrave’s dictum that, at the end of the day, the boat has to perform at sea. Everything else in the design process needs to bend to that single principle. It’s the right way to do it, and at Hargrave, it’s the only way to do it,” - Michael Joyce, CEO of Hargrave Custom Yachts

Lively Lady: Sir Alec Rose’s yacht lives again

• Dick Durham
• March 17, 2021

Dick Durham discovers the restored Lively Lady is still wowing the crowds 50 years after Sir Alec Rose completed his groundbreaking global circumnavigation

Lively Lady was built in Calcutta after the Second World War. She has sailed around the world twice. Credit: Paul Wyeth

It is 70 years since an amateur boat builder, Sydney Cambridge, secured teak sleepers from the stock of the Bengal and Assam Railway to 
help build a 36ft gaff-cutter in Calcutta.

Cambridge adapted the plans of designer Frederick Shepherd, levelling off her keel, heightening her topsides and using thicker teak planking.

The result was a much heavier, hugely strong but slower hull than that originally drawn.

Sir Alec Rose sails back into Portsmouth after sailing around the world. The BBC reported that he was accompanied by a flotilla of over 400 boats. Credit: Getty

As I climbed over the recently restored Lively Lady ’s rail at her Port Solent finger berth and descended down the steep companionway into the depths of her gloomy saloon, the brooding evidence of overbuild came slowly into focus as my eyes got used to the dim light emitted from the small butterfly hatch overhead.

Her padauk timber frames were as wide as the beams of a medieval barn and I was at one with the man who would go on to make her the iconic yacht she is today.

When, in 1963, Sir Alec Rose first clambered below Lively Lady as she lay for sale in Yarmouth, on the 
Isle of Wight, his immediate reaction was: ‘I was impressed by her solid strength. Below, this 
was evident in her heavy timbers…’

Rose bought her for the 1964 Observer Single-handed Trans Atlantic Race (OSTAR) .

He came fourth in 
the event, which was won by Frenchman Éric Tabarly.

Ahead of the race, Rose ordered Illingworth & Primrose to design a new rig.

Lively Lady looks like a yawl, but the staysail was only ever used to set the mizzen. Credit: Paul Wyeth

Her mast, originally keel-stepped, was moved aft and deck stepped. Her long bowsprit was shortened to a stub and the mast of an Enterprise sailing dinghy was added as a mizzen.

This was not to set a spanker, as that would interfere with the self-steering gear fitted by Blondie Hasler, but to carry a staysail to give the heavy old hull extra speed downwind.

On deck I looked aloft at the faded aluminium mainmast and sympathised with Rose’s anxiety while he stared at it in a Southern Ocean storm, during his solo circumnavigation in 1967-68: ‘I don’t know of anything so frightening and sickening as to see the mast doing figure of eight bends,’ he said, noting that he couldn’t even risk flying the spitfire staysail.

It’s an odd rig, because technically she’s a yawl with the mizzen mast stepped behind the tiller-steering position.

Yet, she’s described as a Bermudian cutter, ‘because we never set the mizzen,’ said Steve Mason, a trustee of the charity Around and Around, which restored the boat.

Steve fired up the 28hp Beta diesel engine 
and gingerly reversed Lively Lady out 
of her berth.

Sir Alec Rose came 4th in the 1964 OSTAR on Lively Lady . Credit: Getty

‘There’s no prop walk, 
she just goes where she wants to,’ 
he said as she emerged into the 
dock.

Immediately passers-by started taking selfies, and a yachtsman supping coffee in his cockpit, shouted: ‘Well done, she looks terrific.’

I stood with Steve in the small, seamanlike, self-draining cockpit as he smiled and told me he regularly gets American tourists coming up 
to the boat waving their copies of 
Sir Alec Rose’s account of his solo circumnavigation, My Lively Lady , ‘They ask me to sign it!’ he said.

Refit for Sir Alec Rose’s Lively Lady ahead of 50th anniversary celebrations

Lively Lady is to undergo a major refit with the Hayling Yacht Company as preparations get underway to mark the…

As I joined another Around and Around trustee, Pete Yeoman and volunteer yachtsman Stuart McGowan in unbending the large fenders, I was surprised to find Lively Lady, for all her 2.5 tons of lead ballast and long iron keel, listing over.

She is surprisingly delicate, but then she is narrow for her design, at just over 9ft beam.

A 70-litre fresh water tank is to be fitted into her forepeak which, Steve said, will put her down 3 inches by the head.

‘She is tender,’ he conceded, ‘but when the rails are awash you know you’ve got too much sail up. She’ll only go over so far.’

The original saloon includes teak taken from railway sleeping when she was built in Calcutta. Credit: Paul Wyeth

We sit in the lock at Port Solent, dropping down 
the weedy sides to meet the level of Portsmouth Harbour outside, and people gather to admire Lively Lady ’s honey-coloured decks.

Her original teak deck had been planed down to take out the water stain, 
but in doing so had brought the iron fastenings to the surface, which had then corroded.

‘We had to become marine archaeologists to work out how they’d been laid before taking them up,’ said Stuart.

When they did so they found they had been fastened at the edges as well as through the face.

It took a hardcore group of 10 volunteers to restore Lively Lady . Credit: Paul Wyeth

The new decking is iroko planking glued onto a bonded marine ply base and caulked with rubber mastic. It means there are now no fastenings to worry about.

Her agricultural guardrails are original and some of the stanchions were bent during Rose’s circumnavigation.

They are all straight now and many have had new feet welded onto them.

They have been powder-coated, as has the bowsprit 
saddle clamp (which doubles as a warp cleat), the mast-step, and the steel mainsheet horse, which 
runs behind the cockpit coaming.

‘We’d like to have had them galvanised and then painted but 
that was too expensive,’ said Steve, who explained that because all 
of the work was carried out by volunteers the nine-month restoration cost only £15,000.

‘If we hadn’t done it ourselves 
it would have cost £150,000,’ 
he added.

The cockpit was rebuilt, leaving 
in place two upright grab poles, legacy of Rose’s battered spray-hood.

Lively Lady’s original teak deck was damaged in an earlier restoration so was stripped back and replaced with iroko on ply. Credit: Around and Around

This looks like a recipe for sustaining a broken rib in a knock down, but the crew all swear by it.

The dog-house was also rebuilt in laminated timbers, all with off-cuts from the iroko decking.

The fore-hatch had to be replaced with a Perspex version as it leaked so badly, but the original is kept as a lid and put on for show while in port.

Once clear of the pile moorings off Porchester, we set sail. Stuart and Pete hauled up the mainsail: a job done on deck at the foot of the mast.

The mainsail is a rust-stained, wind-shredded wing. The headsails, with piston hanks so worn that one broke off in Steve’s fingers, and the rusty sprigs of luff wire bristling through the Terylene have also seen better days.

Lively Lady is desperately in need of a new suit. She sports the original roller-reefing on her wooden boom, but this is now defunct and a three-reef slab system is used in its place.

With a southerly Force 2-3, we tacked slowly down 
to Portsmouth Harbour entrance then turned and ran her back up harbour.

Lively Lady ’s bluff, buoyant bow squashed flat all the wash from passing ferries and busy RIBs.

Her pretty sheer, combined with 
a touch of tumblehome and a lovely run aft to a 
snub counter stern, had passengers on the Gosport-Portsmouth ferry aiming their smart phones at her.

Her topsides are still the characteristic pale blue; the same colour Rose painted her.

It suits her carvel hull, which was re-caulked and re-splined up under the counter where tenders have butted her over the years, and on the port side where she lay alongside for many years.

All the paintwork has been lovingly restored by a lone volunteer, Carol Jenkinson.

Her topsides are the same shade of blue that Sir Alec painted her. Credit: Paul Wyeth

Even Sir Robin Knox-Johnston told the team: ‘I never thought I’d see Lively Lady looking this good again.’

‘We have a hardcore team of 10 volunteers,’ explained Steve, ‘including 
an 80-year-old shipwright from the 
Isle of Wight.’

Around and Around’s leader, Alan Priddy, replaced the keel-bolts himself 
by knocking them through and cutting them off in sections. He also fitted a new stern gland and the Beta diesel engine.

The whole of the boat’s furniture was stripped out right down to the bilges, refurbished and re-fitted. 
Six soft spots from fresh water ingress were found amidships on two of the huge padauk frames.

To get 
at the rot, planking had to be removed on the outside and graving pieces let in.

From her five-step companionway, which sits on the engine box, there is a final step onto the cabin sole before you enter the galley to port.

To starboard is the quarter berth, over which sits a chart table.

Passing through the first bulkhead, you arrive in the saloon, which has grab handles running each side of the butterfly hatch. Lockers on both sides double as settees over which are two pilot berths.

Beautifully hand-crafted glass cabinets have been fitted below the deckhead at each end of the pilot berths, with 
a balustrade bookshelf running between them.

Lively Lady is run by the Around and Around charity. Credit: Paul Wyeth

Forward of the amidships bulkhead is the head 
– to starboard – which is awaiting the fitting of a composting WC and a hanging locker to port.

Two single berths are found in the forepeak, and the restoration team has fitted a final new bulkhead up in the bows to form a chain locker 
for the bower anchor.

It was not there in Rose’s time and he wrote that he was 
always alarmed to hear water pouring through the hawsepipe in 
heavy weather.

Lively Lady has 
been fitted with two 
long-range fuel tanks containing 105 litres apiece.

‘We could 
get three-quarters of the way across the Atlantic on that if there was no wind,’ noted Steve.

And it is 
long-distance cruises, with youngsters aboard, that are planned for the old cutter.

‘I’ve witnessed several street kids come on here and after a voyage become responsible mums and dads with jobs and mortgages,’ noted Pete.

‘It’s very satisfying. It’s amazing how people come forward in various ports to show me Rose’s autobiography, with the claim: “This is the book that got me sailing”.’

The Around and Around charity

NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMS & BORDER PROTECTION

Due to the international and fluid nature of the yachting business and the fact there is no global central industry listing service to which all charter yachts subscribe it is impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. We are a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed it is not clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we use our best endeavors to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on this website should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by representatives of a yacht.

Meet Lady Sarah Rose Hanbury, a British noblewoman whose family has been linked to royals for generations

• Rose Hanbury is a British noblewoman whose family has been linked to the royals for years. 
• She and her husband, David Cholmondeley, are neighbors of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
• They have three children. Their son Oliver was a page of honor at King Charles' coronation.

Rose Hanbury recently found herself thrust into the spotlight amid continuing speculation about Kate Middleton's absence from the public eye.

A British noblewoman residing in a stately home close to Kate and Prince William's countryside residence , Hanbury is no stranger to royalty.

Here's a closer look at her aristocratic upbringing, career, relationships, and why Hanbury, who inherited the Marchioness of Cholmondeley title upon marriage, became embroiled in rumors surrounding the Princess of Wales .

Rose Hanbury's family has moved in royal circles for generations.

Hanbury's maternal grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambart, was a childhood friend of Queen Elizabeth II's, the Daily Mail reported. She was also a bridesmaid at the Queen's wedding to Prince Phillip in 1947. In the above photo of the wedding party on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, she's the fifth bridesmaid from the left.

The Queen Mother also attended Lambart's wedding to Mark Longman in 1949.

After graduating from university, Hanbury worked as a model and political researcher.

Hanbury attended the prestigious Stowe boarding school, whose famous alumni include Prince Rainier of Monaco, Richard Branson, and Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Chelsea Davy, Buckinghamshire Live reported.

Hanbury then studied at The Open University, which offers distance learning but is headquartered in Milton Keynes, England.

She signed with Storm Management, the same modeling agency that represented Kate Moss, when she was 23 years old, Tatler reported. She also worked as a researcher for the British member of parliament Michael Gove.

She's married to David Cholmondeley, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, and they have three children.

Cholmondeley — pronounced "Chumley" — is a lord-in-waiting to King Charles III , attending official functions with the monarch and occasionally representing him at events.

They have three children: Alexander Hugh George, who carries the title Earl of Rocksavage, Lord Oliver Timothy George, and Lady Iris Marina Aline.

Their son Oliver was a page of honor at Charles' coronation.

Oliver, second from the left in the above photo, helped carry the train of Charles' robe as he processed into Westminster Abbey for the coronation. He also appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace alongside Prince George after the ceremony.

Hanbury and Cholmondeley attended the coronation, as well.

The couple owns two historic homes, but they primarily live at Houghton Hall in Norfolk.

The couple's real-estate portfolio includes two historic homes in the UK: Cholmondeley Castle, a gothic country house in Cheshire that is Grade II* listed — meaning it's been designated of special interest or national importance — and Houghton Hall, a palladian-style mansion in Norfolk. Parts of both residences are open for public visits on select days.

The Financial Times reported that Cholmondeley inherited Houghton Hall, where he and Hanbury primarily live with their children, in 1990.

Built in the 18th century, the 106-room home is filled with renowned art and artifacts. It's roughly a 10-minute drive from Anmer Hall, a country home that Queen Elizabeth II gave Kate and William after their 2011 wedding. When they aren't in Windsor, the Wales' have been known to spend time there with their children.

Her charity work includes supporting East Anglia's Children's Hospices, the National Gallery, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

In 2016, Hanbury and Cholmondeley hosted a fundraising gala for EACH at their Houghton Hall home, which William and Kate attended. Hanbury became a patron of EACH in 2018, Cambridge Network reported.

Kate is also a patron of the organization, occasionally visiting on royal engagements.

She and her husband have been friends with William and Kate for years.

The Cholmondeleys and the Waleses have run in similar circles for years and have even attended many of the same events. Kate and William were photographed being greeted by the Cholmondeleys as they arrived for a charity event hosted at Houghton Hall in 2016.

In 2023, the Daily Mail reported that Kate made an appearance at a music festival at Houghton Hall after attending a dinner hosted by the Cholmondeleys.

Stephen Colbert mentioned Hanbury on his late-night talk show while discussing Kate's absence from the public eye.

Kate underwent a "planned abdominal surgery" in January, after which Kensington Palace said she would be taking time away from royal duties to recover and would be expected to resume work after Easter. But in the weeks since, the internet has exploded with " Katespiracies ," unsupported rumors about Kate's condition and whereabouts.

On March 13, Colbert waded into the ongoing discourse around Kate's absence from the public eye and mentioned Hanbury during his opening monologue on "The Late Show." He referenced unverified rumors from "internet sleuths" that Prince William had an affair with Hanbury .

Hanbury's lawyers told Business Insider that "the rumors are completely false." Kensington Palace declined to comment.

William and Kate , who have been together for nearly 13 years, haven't indicated their marriage is in trouble. William took a break from royal duties following Kate's surgery to support her and has referenced her during several recent appearances, including at a conference on homelessness on Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported.

While discussing children, an area that Kate's work focuses on, William said, "Venturing into my wife's territory here. She needs to be sat here to hear this."
