Introducing the 2016 West Country Top Sail Schooner, the "Daniel Joseph," built at the Albion Dockyard by the renowned David Abels Boatbuilders. This unique vessel is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and maritime expertise synonymous with the Albion Dockyard.
Emerging from the shipyard in Bristol in 2015, the "Daniel Joseph" unfurled its sails in the Mediterranean Sea after finalising its rig and interior in the spring of 2016. This splendid vessel embarked on a captivating journey through diverse ports across several nations, including Spain, Portugal, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, and ultimately Greece. The "Daniel Joseph" made its triumphant return to its birthplace, Bristol, UK, in late 2019.
Originally crafted as a private yacht, the "Daniel Joseph" offers limitless possibilities. With subtle interior adaptations, it can seamlessly transition to fulfil a wide spectrum of roles, including charter sailing and sail training, with the fore peak boasting dedicated deck access, making it ideal for potential transformation into crew quarters. For expeditions and filmmaking, the expansive saloon presents an opportunity for conversion into two additional cabins, supplementing the vessel's accommodations by 4 to 5 berths. Meanwhile, the fore peak retains its purpose as secure storage for film or scientific equipment.
Seamlessly blending functionality with the iconic allure of a topsail schooner, the "Daniel Joseph" is primed to sail through both the winds of tradition and the uncharted horizons of modern pursuits. She is ready to set sail on her next adventure, currently lying in Bristol, UK, and ready for viewing.
