Kathleen Gillett

Kathleen Gillett was one of the cruising yachts to enter the first Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race in 1945. Built in Sydney between 1933 and 1939, it is well known as the second Australian yacht to complete a circumnavigation of the world, from 1947 to 1948. During and after the voyage the owner and skipper, marine artist Jack Earl, became widely recognised as a result of the richly illustrated articles and logbook he created during the voyage. The voyage and the yacht are also a story of managing to get by on very limited funds, with compromises made to achieve the overall desire. In contrast to the well-funded and planned first Australian circumnavigation by the Nossiters on their purpose-designed and built schooner Sirius in the late 1930s, Earl’s circumnavigation was made in a more simply built and maintained yacht adapted from another design, and the crew supplemented their small funds with the sale of Earl’s paintings along the way. In this way it was an inspiration to the public and Earl and his crew probably achieved greater recognition for their voyage that that accorded to Sirius at the time.

Kathleen Gillett was built by Charles Larson at his Wharf Road boat yard in Gladesville, New South Wales. Larson was Swedish and had been a ship’s carpenter on square riggers, and he appears to have changed his name from Larsen to Larson. Construction proceeded at Larson’s shed over a six-year period at a pace appropriate to Jack Earl’s resources. Larson’s team would often work on the yacht when there were no other projects needing immediate attention.

Kathleen Gillett  is a wooden gaff ketch, just over 13 metres long, and her design was based on an unknown set of plans from the famous Norwegian naval architect Colin Archer, which Larson possessed. The shape is very representative of Archer’s style of seaworthy double-ended commercial vessels such as the sailing rescue boats (redningskoites), pilot vessels and fishing craft, which all have different characteristics and proportions to suit their purpose. Archer also designed cruising yachts along these lines and some of the commercial vessels were converted to cruising yachts.

Larson carvel-planked  Kathleen Gillett in Huon pine, which was supported by small section, closely spaced frames. This appears to be Larson’s own method and is not understood to be an arrangement used by Archer. Larson also appears to have interpreted other features of the structure and hull shape in a manner that is different from a typical Archer vessel, but suitable for the purpose as a cruising yacht.

Early in the 1930s Jack Earl and his wife Kath were inspired by stories about long sailing voyages and wanted to build a yacht for themselves to use to circumnavigate the world. According to a piece written by Kath in Seacraft magazine in November 1947, they wanted to use a design by Colin Archer, such as the Norwegian redningskoite, or pilot ketch. They knew from these stories that his designs were extremely seaworthy. A close friend, doctor and surgeon Dr Robert Scott Skirving, had a smaller modified Archer-style yacht called Phalarope and he also strongly recommended that they have a design by Archer.

According to David Harpur, Earl told his father Hal Harpur that he had gone to Larson with a genuine set of signed Archer plans for a 33-foot-long boat. These could be a set provided by Scott Skirving. Larson also had a set of Archer plans, and he persuaded Earl to build a larger boat for the world trip. Meanwhile Larson used the 33-foot plans to build a second yacht on spec, which was sold after World War 2, and is known as Nightfall .

The actual plans Larson is understood to have used to build  Kathleen Gillett have never been located. Kath Earl notes they were signed by Archer, but Larson never let them out of his hands, and guarded them jealously.

The yacht was eventually launched in 1939 in an incomplete state and towed to Rushcutters Bay. Earl, Kath and their children Mick and Maris lived aboard the boat and spent their spare time fitting it out and rigging it. The masts were eventually stepped at the Rushcutters Bay Sayonara boatshed in 1941. The yacht was known and reported in articles as Kathleen and named after his wife Kathleen (nee Gillett) . It was formally registered in 1947 as  Kathleen Gillett. Throughout the construction Jack Earl always intended to sail around the world with his family but lack of money, and then World War 2, intervened.

During World War 2 Earl used  Kathleen Gillett as a coastal patrol boat off the coast of New South Wales, sailing between the far south coast and Port Stephens on the central coast. When the war finished Earl and some of his friends (all founding members of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia) proposed a celebratory cruise from Sydney to Hobart. English sailor Captain John Illingworth, who had served with the navy in Australia, was invited to join the cruise, but he suggested they make it a race and helped organise the details. Nine yachts entered, including Kathleen Gillett, which finished fourth in this race, and third on handicap. This became the first Sydney to Hobart yacht race, an event that has been held annually since 1945.

In mid-1947 Jack Earl decided to make his longed-for circumnavigation without his young family, although they travelled with him on the first stage up to Thursday Island before returning to Sydney.

In preparation for the circumnavigation the yacht had a shelter built around the cockpit to protect the crew, and the brightwork was painted because it was easier and cheaper to maintain than varnish.

His crew at departure was Jack Day, Keith Humphries, Lyell (Mick) Morris and Don Angus (navigator). Humphries crewed for only a short period, leaving the yacht in northern Queensland due to chronic seasickness. He was only replaced when Will ‘Digger’ Sinclair joined the yacht in Durban. They were away for exactly 18 months, leaving on 7 June 1947 and sailing through Sydney Heads again on 7 December 1948. They covered 26,000 nautical miles in a voyage that went first to the north of Australia, then across the Indian Ocean, then the Atlantic Ocean to Panama. From there they crossed the Pacific, including the Galapagos Islands, Marquesas, Tahiti, Tonga and New Zealand. Earl painted pictures during the voyage and at ports of call to help pay for stores along the way.

The adventures of  Kathleen Gillett and crew were detailed in articles written by first mate Mick Morris that were published each month in Seacraft magazine and followed by an appreciative audience. The articles also featured Jack Earl’s drawings and sketches. Earl illustrated a log of the voyage and sent it home from ports of call to his family. In Sydney, the log became as celebrated as the voyage; friends, family, sailors and colleagues anticipated its arrival and pored over the contents.

Upon Kathleen Gillett ’s return to Sydney the Earl family moved back on board, living in Mosman Bay until the boat was sold. A Sydney stamp dealer named Mervyn Cookson bought  Kathleen Gillett in 1950 for £5500 and sailed it around the north coast of Queensland and to the Torres Strait, before returning south.

In the summer of 1954–55 Mervyn Cookson sold the ketch to Jack Thurston, who owned three copra plantations in New Britain and planned to use  Kathleen Gillett for trading in New Guinea.  Kathleen Gillett was then prepared to sail north again at Rose Bay marina. Thurston installed a 3-cylinder Gardner engine and coppered the hull. No changes were made to the rig. Michael Thurston remembers that the interior was ‘butchered’ when his father bought it.

Jack Thurston set out to sail north with a crew that included his young sons Michael (11), and Jackie (13), his brother Norton Thurston, a Mr Williams (the Vaucluse butcher), and Victor Guifre, a Sicilian fisherman from Rose Bay. The ketch was stranded in Pittwater after Williams abandoned the crew. According to Michael he left after discovering that he couldn’t ring his wife every night from the boat. The boys sorely missed their eagerly anticipated chance to sail north.

Jack Thurston and Victor Guifre (and others) eventually sailed Kathleen Gillett to New Guinea where Thurston used the vessel for trading. Guifre also offered short sailing trips around the islands to tourists. Thurston’s crew in New Guinea included Guifre and two Papua New Guineans, Kina and Leo Touvla. The ketch eventually proved too small for Thurston’s needs and he sold the vessel.

Kathleen Gillett spent much of the next 30–40 years in the tropical waters north of Australia, acting variously as a Pacific Island trader, copra and trochus shell carrier, tourist charter boat, crocodile hunter and private yacht.

Lloyd’s Yacht Register shows the owners in 1957 as TPG Bladen, CT Shee, Mrs Mary Chee and Mrs Jane Leo; however, none of these owners has been identified.

Fred Fawcett Kay, a plantation owner in Papua New Guinea, bought the ketch in the late 1950s and again used it for island trading. He replaced the main mast with a heavy piece of oregon, converting the gaff rig to a Bermudan rig. In 1960 crocodile hunter Declan O’Donnell bought Kathleen Gillett from Fawcett Kay for £6,000. O’Donnell used the ketch to hunt crocodiles around Bougainville and the Solomon Islands with a crew of two New Guineans. As a workboat  Kathleen Gillett had a large doghouse forward (to ventilate the crew’s quarters) and carried two canoes on board.

Declan O’Donnell sold  Kathleen Gillett in 1964 to Reg Stephenson, who ran a battery services business in Rabaul. Stephenson dreamed of sailing around the world and set about converting the ketch from a commercial trader to a cruising yacht. At this time  Kathleen Gillett was in need of a total refit, showing extensive rot and degradation.

In Rabaul, Peter Hood (brother of naval architect Warwick Hood) was invited to direct the restoration work. Hood prepared the boat and fitted a modern cruising rig of aluminium spars. The hull planking remained intact. The boat was re-decked with double-planked oregon and covered with fibreglass. Other additions included Barlow winches, rigging by Peter Cole and English sails by Bruce Banks. The bowsprit was reduced from 11 feet 6 inches (3.6 metres) to 7 feet 6 inches (2.3 metres) and the sail plan was converted to a mast head rig. A New Zealand Lees Ford 6 diesel engine was installed because parts were available worldwide.

Reg Stephenson brought Kathleen Gillett to Sydney in 1967 to race in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race but was disqualified in an incident at the start. Stephenson then enjoyed  Kathleen Gillett as a private yacht, and in 1975 was invited by Tony Heaney from the Marianas Yacht Club to come to Guam to be a regatta official for events planned for August 1975.

From an account by Tony Heaney, provided in June 2010, the following took place. Stephenson sailed across well in advance of the August regatta, and once in Guam formed a close relationship with a schoolteacher called Marianne who was planning to retire. Together they planned to do a circumnavigation on  Kathleen Gillett when Marianne retired and was able to leave the island.

In late May 1975 super-typhoon Pamela formed in the lower part of the North Pacific Ocean and bore down directly on Apia Harbour during the afternoon of 21 May. In preparation for the storm Stephenson had secured the yacht in the lee of three storage tanks on the windward shoreline, and Tony Heaney offered to come aboard with a colleague and help him ride out the storm. As typhoon Pamela crossed the island  Kathleen Gillett rode out the initial ferocious winds that were estimated at sustained periods of 225 kph, with gusts of just over 300 kph. As the eye of the storm passed over and the winds dropped away for a brief period, Heaney recommended they move across the harbour to the other shore to be in the lee when the winds returned from the opposite direction, bringing heavy sea conditions.

Stephenson decided to stay where they were, and to use the engine to take the load off the cables that had been laid out. In hindsight, this was the only possible course of action, as there was not sufficient time to haul in the cables, move across the harbour and then resecure the yacht.

The winds returned and the seas built up quite quickly, but with the engine running Stephenson was able to relieve some of the tension on the cables without the yacht moving forward over their anchorage points. Meanwhile for a short period Heaney tried to fend the stern away from a large steel buoy that was adjacent to the stern. Heaney succumbed to sea sickness quite quickly, followed by the colleague, and they both retreated to the saloon, leaving Stephenson manning the throttle. After a period of time the engine began to splutter, then died and could not be re-started. Stephenson then joined them below in the saloon, everyone realising they were at the mercy of the lines and the weather.

The yacht pitched dramatically, stretching the lines then crashing forward as they contracted. This kept up for about 30 minutes until they rode up on one wave, but did not come crashing down; instead they felt suspended, ‘floating like a cloud’, yet they knew what had occurred, and worse, knew what was about to happen. The lines had broken and  Kathleen Gillett was driven directly onto the coral offshore of the clubhouse. Waves continued to lift and drive the yacht further ashore until it came to rest on its port side among the breakers, battered but not destroyed. The three crew members remained on the boat, moving into the cockpit to avoid poisonous battery gases that were escaping, and sheltered under a sail Heaney had located from the forepeak. As dawn broke the storm died away and they were eventually able to walk ashore from the stranded yacht to survey a shattered township and harbour.

Kathleen Gillett  was severely damaged along the port side and keel, but was salvaged by Stephenson, who moved the yacht from a slip to a yard owned by Leland Campbell. Stephenson and Heaney were promised it would be repaired with grant money that had been given by the government for storm damage in the aftermath. Heaney tried to facilitate this, but in October 1975 he had to return home to the USA without any progress on the repairs being made. Their trust in the yard owner securing a shipwright was not returned, and Stephenson was unable to get the yacht repaired and lost the grant money which he had previously signed over to Campbell.

Stephenson later tried to raise funds for its restoration. His attempt (supported by the Rabaul Yacht Club) to mount a public appeal for money failed, and  Kathleen Gillett remained derelict in Guam for several years. Stephenson then fell ill and spent time in Sydney in hospital.

Leland Campbell, the owner of the Guam yard in which  Kathleen Gillett was sitting, needed to offload the abandoned and wrecked boat, with Stephenson out of contact and owing money. Campbell approached Vaughan Tyndzik (a captain of a research vessel) and persuaded him to buy ‘rights’ to the Kathleen Gillett . Letters advising Stephenson of the sale, in lieu of funds owing, were sent back to Sydney signed by Leland Campbell.

Vaughan and Jane Tyndzik worked on the yacht in a piecemeal way as their funds allowed, living on board for some years and eventually restoring  Kathleen Gillett to sailing condition.

The Norwegian government bought the boat from the Tyndziks in 1987. The ketch was shipped back to Australia for restoration by Halvorsen Boats Pty Ltd (in consultation with Jack Earl) in preparation for its handover to the Australian National Maritime Museum as the Norwegian bicentennial gift to Australia in 1988.  Kathleen Gillett was accepted into the National Maritime Collection in 1991 where it has been maintained in sailing condition at the museum wharves.

Dramatic start to Sydney to Hobart yacht race with close calls and wild weather

• Fleet sets off on Boxing Day in 78th edition of bluewater classic
• Andoo Comanche takes lead with eye on back-to-back line honours

Line honours favourite Andoo Comanche has taken the lead in the Sydney to Hobart after a dramatic start to the revered yacht race.

Comanche, the 2022 line honours winner, was travelling 28 miles off the coast of Port Kembla, south of Wollongong, when she overtook LawConnect roughly three-and-a-half hours into the race.

LawConnect, last year’s runner-up and a fellow 100-foot supermaxi, had taken an early lead out of the Sydney Heads, and later remained in hot pursuit of leader Comanche as they travelled at roughly 19 knots in northeasterly winds.

The two frontrunners have opened up a gap on third-placed supermaxi SHK Scallywag, which was about four miles behind Comanche when she passed LawConnect.

In-form 72-footer URM Group, along with Moneypenny and 2018 overall winner Alive – all contenders for handicap honours – appeared best-placed of the smaller boats.

Four hours into the race, the fleet remained at 103 boats – the same number that crossed the start line in Sydney Harbour.

Scallywag had earlier completed a 720-degree penalty turn in a bid to avoid a possible time sanction.

Accusing Scallywag of tacking too close, Comanche’s crew could be heard on broadcast coverage yelling to their rivals before formally flying a red protest flag.

The boats appeared to come within metres of each other.

The fact the incident had taken place in Sydney Harbour meant Scallywag had only a limited distance in which to complete the penalty turns, or risk receiving a time sanction on arrival in Hobart.

In 2017, Wild Oats XI opted not to respond to a protest from Comanche early in the race and a subsequent one-hour time penalty cost her a line honours victory.

Race officials confirmed Scallywag completed the turn off the coast of Bondi Beach.

After a heavy storm cleared just before the 1pm starting gun, LawConnect led the way across the line then made the best of a change in the wind to pass the heads first.

But when a furling line snapped after LawConnect passed the first marker out of the Sydney Heads, she turned towards the spectator fleet in an attempt to correct the issue. The furling line issue has since been fixed.

The fleet is expected to encounter stormy conditions south of Jervis Bay on the NSW south coast.

Sudden and erratic wind changes, hail, rain and reduced visibility are all on the cards across the first two days of racing.

Easterly winds as strong as 35 knots are forecast for the far south coast of NSW on the night of Boxing Day and could impact the bigger boats in the fleet.

Winds are forecast to remain strong across the Bass Strait and southeast Tasmania on the morning of December 28, with storms a chance to continue affecting smaller boats.

Sydney to Hobart yacht race: How two days of sailing came down to just 51 seconds

The skipper of the line honours-winning yacht in this year's Sydney to Hobart race says the victory is all the more remarkable because his boat, LawConnect, is a "shitbox" compared to second-place getter and race favourite Andoo Comanche.

"I know it looks good on TV but if you go up close to that boat, it's rough as anything and Comanche is a beautiful boat, it's better in every way, four tonnes lighter etc.," Christian Beck said.

"Shitbox" or not, LawConnect overtook Andoo Comanche in the River Derwent in the final moments of the 2023 race to take out its first line honours in a sensational daylight finish, just 51 seconds ahead of its rival.

"The lead changed several times, they took the lead pretty close to the line, we thought there's no way we can get it back," Beck said.

"There were guys [on board] that couldn't watch, it was very nerve-racking."

In a race that took the two leaders almost two days to finish, the turning point began just a couple of nautical miles from the finish line.

As Andoo Comanche tried to build speed off the Hobart suburb of Sandy Bay and seemed to stall in very little wind, Law Connect made its move.

'"They seem to be accelerating out of the jibes a lot quicker than Andoo Comanche, so I don't think Andoo have a lot of options here, I think they're going to get rolled … really aggressive moves by LawConnect," said Lisa Darmanin, a commentator for the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. 

But, not long after Andoo Comanche snatched it back again.

Then, in the second-closest finish in race history, LawConnect came back about 100 metres from the finish line. 

After being runner-up three times in a row, the sweetest moment arrived for Christian Beck as LawConnect crossed the finish line in a time of 1 day, 19 hours, 3 minutes and 58 seconds.

"I can't believe that result. Honestly it's a dream come true," he said.

How did they pull it off?

So just how did the "underdog" manage to snatch the win away from Andoo Comanche after it held the lead comfortably while rounding the Tasman Peninsula and entering the River Derwent?

As we've heard, a lack of wind was a big factor.

"Our boat is big and wide and heavy and it's fast offshore but it is terribly slow when it is bumpy and no wind," the disappointed skipper of Andoo Comanche, John Winning said. 

"[As the finish line neared] we sent a guy up the rig and he said 'There's no wind at the finish, zero wind at the finish.'" 

But sailors are used to dealing with changes in wind so strategy was obviously a major factor at play too.

As well as the "aggressive jibing" from LawConnect, the winners were focused on learning from Andoo's "mistakes".

"Broadly, the strategy is to watch them and if they get into a bad spot, we avoid that bad spot," Beck said.

Spectator craft another factor

Then there were all the spectator boats to contend with.

In the final moments, a catamaran passed closely to Andoo Comanche and the crew was seen yelling and gesturing.

"We had all the spectator boats and we're trying to clear them out and they were like 'You've won', and we were like 'No! We have not won yet. Stop making waves everything is going to make a difference,'" Winning said.

Tasmania Police said action would be taken against a 57-year-old man for "allegedly breaching" marine and safety regulations.

"The man was skippering a private vessel when it reportedly encroached into the exclusion zone set by Marine and Safety Tasmania," it said in a statement.

The offence carries a fine of up to $3,900.

Winning said he didn't blame spectators for the result.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, I wish there were 500 of them," he said.

"It's even, everyone gets the same thing if they were ahead of us they would have had the wash but unfortunately we got the wash.

"Makes a little difference but that didn't cost us the race, we cost us the race."

And as the bubbly flows for the LawConnect crew, Beck is joking about now being able to offload the "shitbox".

"It's probably a good afternoon to sell it, the afternoon it beats Comanche, probably its highlight of its career, I'm sure."
