Luke Powell has almost single-handedly revived the building of traditional pilot cutters in the UK. In Working Sail. A life in wooden boats, he describes his rich, rather unconventional life, which he has enjoyed to the full. He does not hide the fact that he had to fight for a long time for the acceptance of his wooden boats, with which he ultimately earned his impeccable reputation.Luke's interest in boats began when he climbed over the rotten wrecks that sank into the mud in the streams of his childhood in Suffolk. At the age of nine, he set sail with his family to the Greek islands. From then on, the sea was his school. After an apprenticeship as a ship's carpenter, during which he restored Thames barges, he returned to the Mediterranean and the nomadic life of a journeyman boatbuilder. Over time, he acquired a French girlfriend - the first of many long-term partners in his adventures - and CHARMIAN, a 75-year-old cutter. in 1990, he sailed up the Helford River in Cornwall with his young son on board CHARMIAN, unaware that seven years later this would become the home of his boatbuilding company, Working Sail.Luke's arrival in England coincided with a resurgence of interest in traditional boats. After stumbling across a book about dazzling pilot cutters, he vowed to build one from scratch. Risking what little money he had to buy wood, he built EVE himself - almost with his bare hands. Success came gradually, but to this day Luke is driven by a passionate belief in skills, craftsmanship and values that cannot be expressed in monetary terms.Over the years, several boats have been launched at Helford - LIZZIE MAY, AGNES, HESPER, EZRA, TALLULAH, AMELIE ROSE, FREJA - whose names are a list of some of the most admired boats built in the UK in recent times.Luke Powell describes their creation with a very fine sense of good storytelling.
