YOU ASK WHY?
There are those days when you walk down the street and pass hundreds of people and don’t notice, not even one. Then, that one special person walks by and you just have to stop and take that second look. Well, the same goes for boats, you walk down dock after dock and you couldn’t tell me what you just past, were they big, small, blue or white, you don’t know. Then suddenly one grabs your attention, you stop, walk back and forth to see it from different angles, maybe take a picture or two before moving on. Then on the way home your mind keeps drifting back to that one boat…… and the Bristol Channel Cutter is one of those boats. Now those adventures start flashing through your mind of tropical far off places, quite secluded anchorages and that world were life is simpler.
“Jolie Brise” isn’t just any BCC but a rather famous Bristol Channel Cutter in her own right, as she was the one used in “The World’s Best Sailboat” book by Ferenc Mate. You’ll see “Jolie Brise”. Over the years she was owned and sailed by her knowledgeable owners to places like Nova Scotia and Newfoundland for those liking the cooler northern points of interest on some of their longer journeys. On more regular bases she has spent much time on the New England coast line and lately has called the Chesapeake Bay her home. “Jolie Brise” has had constant upkeep as well as alterations to suit the owner’s needs and travels with loving care. She is now in Rock Hall, Maryland and is ready to sail off into the sunset with you.
These beautiful yachts were designed by the late “Lyle Hess” possibly one of the last romantic yacht designers and built by several builders in several different places, however, “Jolie Brise” was built by the Sam L. Morse Co. in California.
Quotes from “Worlds Best Sailboats”
Lyle Hess's Design:
The Bristol Channel Cutter, also known as the Sam L. Morse, was designed by Lyle Hess.
Mate's Praise:
Mate, in his book, described the BCC as a boat that "looks like true friends" and noted that the BCC and the Falmouth Cutter (also designed by Hess) were the "most beautiful 28- and 22-foot fiberglass boats in the world".
Seaworthiness and Speed:
The BCC design incorporated the seaworthiness and speed of the Bristol Channel pilot cutters, which were known for navigating the treacherous waters of the Bristol Channel.
Construction:
BCCs are built with a variety of methods, including wood, fiberglass, and wood/glass fiber composites.
Notable Features:
The BCC features a cutter rig, a spooned plumb stem, an angled transom, a keel and transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller, and a fixed long keel.
Practical Sailor Article:
A Practical Sailor article mentions a BCC that made a 3,150-mile passage from California to the Marquesas in 22 days, averaging 5.8 knots.
With all of this said by many more knowledgeable sailors, designers and writers than myself, if you are looking for a small, go anywhere boat to fulfill that life long dream you must see “Jolie Brise”.
