Wooden Ships Comments on this Brixham Sailing Trawler DEODAR
Built in Brixham in 1911 by Robert Jackman & Sons Shipyard as a Brixham Sailing Trawler.
Commissioned by Henry and Edward James Hellings who were fishmongers in Milford Haven and assigned the fishing number BM313 and fished with a trawl net around the Bristol Channel and the West Country.
In 1937 she was sold to Sweden, renamed Rigmor and converted to a cargo vessel for carrying ice and other goods. She continued to work commercially until 1959 when she became a private vessel. She was purchased by a group of friends who started fitting her out for weekend sailing trips. It was quickly discovered the hull was in very poor condition and in need of extensive refit work. The ownership group dwindled until at last was left just one man who is still the owner of the vessel to this day. In 1983, after many years of patching the boat up to keep her sailing, she was slipped and a major hull rebuild commenced. This work involved replacing the majority of the planking and frames and a new iron girder along the outside of the keel to stiffen up the hull. This work was carried out slowly over several years, all painstakingly completed by the owner with absolute dedication and determination. In 1993 a complete new deck structure was fitted including beamshelf, deck beams and deck planking.
In 1996 she made her first trip back to Brixham, since returning twice more in 2005 and 2015. She has participated in in numerous Tall Ships events around Europe, sailed to the Brest and Douarnenez festivals and has been sailed every summer since 1972.
The work has been ongoing with a replacement engine installed in 2001, along with further underwater planking replacement at the same time. Work has been carried out at Beckholmen Historical Shipyard in Stockholm.
Deodar, part of the Cultural Heritage of Sweden, is one of the jewels of the Swedish traditional fleet and is a testament to her long term owner who rebuilt the vessel and has kept her up to a very high standard ever since.
