*********************************************’’
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!
