Cassandra's Dream

[G.Sherman]

I just saw this Woody Allen uneven thriller......:o

Didn't care much for the acting, but really liked the boat.
I guess it's a candidate for "Name That Boat!"

Any thoughts?

[Thorne]

See if you can find some stills of the boat in question, 'cause the only images I can find are two very short scenes in the trailer -

This is a real shot in the dark. I remember seeing an Eldridge McGinnis Pilothouse Sloop for sale on yachtworld years ago. IIRC, it looked something like that.

I don't know the boat but I have a copy of the movie so I took some screen shots.

do they know we prefer wooden boats to what may be wooden acting

[G.Sherman]

How much wood is enough wood? It's more of a question about an attractive semi-wooden boat.

[JimD]

Phillip Rhodes drew up quite a few similar designs.

[Don Kurylko]

Not Phil Rhodes. It's a British design. Going by the sail letters, it could be something like a South Coast one design. Where are those Brits when you need them! :confused:

Oddest thing is that mis-matched rudder..
Only vessel I ever seen use that kind of heavy rudder is St. Pierre dories

We had a thread on this a year or so ago, but I couldn't find it.
However google had the answer.

Since the movie takes place and was filmed in London, England, it seems reasonable that it would be a boat built in the UK rather than the US.

The Hampshire Maid is a boat chartered by the Classic Sailing Club. This the actual sailboat that was used in the movie. The sail numbers in the youtube video are SC 44(first source link). This matches the sail numbers on the Hampshire Maid (second source link). Near the bottom of the page on the second source link are some images from the movie and a short clip of the movie being made.

Hampshire Maid is a SCOD. The South Coast One Design (SCOD) is a 25ft 11in (7.7m) long-keeled fractional sloop cruiser/racer designed by the late Charles Nicholson in 1955. 106 SCODs were built up until 1970 by a variety of buiders including: Burnes, Clare Lallow, Camper & Nicholson, Woodnutts and WA Souter, the majority of these are still in use today.

Hampshire Maid was built on the Isle of Wight by Woodnutts in 1957. She is hull number 44.

The last source link has more info on these boats, photos and another video clip of the Hampshire Maid sailing.

Did anybody ever figure out which was the beautiful yacht featured in Burn After Reading?

Good movie.. I didn't even notice.... Mostly was interior shots...

Going to look in my collection and play it again, and take a closer look..

[G.Sherman]

I believe the interior shots were of an actual studio set....

I think so too.... It's too roomy for that size of boat

[Jackett]

Yep, it's a South Coast One Design. Designed by Charles Nicholson in the late 50s or early 60s.
