The China Clipper Society For the past ten years a remarkable outfit based in England has been sailing two Spanish-built square riggers in European waters and as far afield as the Straits of Magellan. Known as the China Clipper Society, this outfit relearned traditional skills , with notable "can do" spirit, to restore and sail the 88ft brig Ciudad de Inca, built in Ibiza in 1858, and the 86ft bark Marques , built in Valencia in 1917. This effort took shape in 1971 when Robin Cecil-Wright acquired the Valencia-built Marques in order to fulfill a long-held ambition to own and sail a square rigger. Bringing the ship home to England , he spent a couple of years rebuilding her with the help of many friends. In 1977 he was joined as co-owner by Mark Litchfield . The ship began to earn a living in movie roles. In 1977 she made a 4-month, 8,000-mile voyage to the Straits of Magellan to perform as the Beagle, in which Charles Darwin sailed those waters. For this role she acquired her unusual rig, basically a brig with a small spankermast stepped far aft , making her a bark. Needing a second ship to film " TaiPan ," Cecil-Wright headed for the Mediterranean again and this time found the Inca , a floating wreck eking out her days in catch-as-catch-can trading. Litchfield took her in hand and with a crew of30-odd Englishmen rebuilt her as a staunch ,
Ciudad de In ca
ocean-faring brig. By 1982 the two vessels were available in full health and rig for a race from port to port around the British isles . Not only had the ships been restored , they had built up seasoned crews-and begun to find new ways of supporting themseives, through port visits and carrying trainees. This year the handsome pair are coming to the East Coast of the United States, with the possible thought of continuing on to the Pacific next year. They plan to pick up trainees in Freeport, in the Bahamas, July 15, departing July 18; then to arrive Bermuda to pick up a new gang on August 1, leaving August 4, then to sail on to Halifax, Nova Scotia, reaching there August 18. Trainees get real-life instruction from crews which have now gathered a decade's experience in this work, and each person who sails in these ships automatically becomes a member of the China Clipper Society. Basic cost is $350/wk , and trainees are accepted ages 15-19. Society, PO Box 1129, Newport , RI 02840.
