- The haunted pirate Tallship Solway Lass voyages to Mackay Slipway. The crew and slipway worked have to safely manouvre the cumberson old vessal onto a very narrow scaffold and slowly winch her out of the sea.
My great grandfather once owned this ship, and had the privilege of seeing it in Feb this year
Capt Greenway whose photos are inside the boat were very moving to see
So pleased you have all given it a new lease of life and maybe one day I may even sail on it

ua-cam.com/video/MMyopan_ibY/v-deo.htmlsi=u9kg87JMOnUrR7i1 Phil you may be interested to see Capt Greenway in this documentary on Solway Lass. Thank you for your comment. I would be interested in any history, images or stories you have of the boat.
Amazing!!!
Thanks, was a huge project. Biggest project I've ever run.
Decent project mate.
Thanks mate. Still going, big job!
Thanks for link Where are 2 and 3 on the history videos ?
I have actually been to the lifeboat station where they towed it in after the sad death and have a photo somewhere of it on their rescue plaque Will try and dig it out
One guy remembered it being towed in and took hours due to its size and weight.
Accept it is a trade secret, but when I saw Solway Lass on its last journey really thought that might be the end and never expected anyone to throw the love and money at it to give it a new life
The passion in doing it all was worthy of it and yourselves
Will hunt for photo

Thank you Phil. We all thought that. A LOT of work and sacrifice went into that refit. We saved her. Only pt1 and 2 of the history vids are online. Rest are still in production. ua-cam.com/play/PLB7p7OHuOnoXxwJ-Py5mOTnflu7xcLrCi.html&si=rYX5seMZHlE445kw
Good stuff. Greetings from the yt algorithm :P

Never understood how it ended up in Oz !
She was sailed to Fiji in the 70s to work as a coastal trader, her hull could handle the uncharted reefs. In 1980 Tim bought her and rebuilt her, then used her as a dinner boat in Sydney. Then Jim bought her in 99 and I helped him sail it to Airley
