Double-enders
was the typical workboats and yachts in southern Norway a hundred
years ago.
Colin Archer was one of many boatbuilders of these
types of boats.
Colin Archer introduced ballastkeel to the
double-enders which thus became superior to his competitors.
Apart
from that, not much differed between Colin Archer's boats and many
other good boatyards.
Colin Archer became very famous because
he designed the rescueboats
that were capable of sailing in any
gale and rescue other boats.
He was also very famous amongst the
pilots as his boats were very manoeuvrable
and won most races the
pilots held in the summertime.
Colin Archer also designed
yachts and his boats were amongst the best in the races in both light
air and strong winds.
His yachts are of lighter displacement and
much narrower than the pilotboats or rescueboats.
Most
“Colin Archers” on the marked today are not designed or
built by Colin Archer,
but are referred to as Colin Archer's,
especially outside Scandinavia.
In Norway they are called "skøyte"
or "seilskøyte".
However, they can be just as
good boats even not a true CA.
Most builders adopted Colin
Archer’s improvements
and modified designs today can be
almost equivalent to an original CA.
Since
the 1960/70's, there have been built many “CA's”, both in
wood, grp and concrete.
Unfortunately, many of the boats are not
to well built or planned.
Most boats, even if yard built, have
been sold as bare hulls and fitted out by the owner. So be careful
before you buy!
