'Triune of Troy' was built for Lord Russel of Liverpool and the name 'Troy' came from a past Commodore of the Royal Fowey Yacht Club who often called the Cornish town of Fowey this ancient name. Hammond Innes dedicated his book, "The Wreck of the Mary Deare" to "the mate and crew of the Triune of Troy and the memory of a gale off the Minkies".
In the past she has been sailed south to Spain and north to Norway.
She was saved from further deterioration in 1972 by Chris Elliott who had her restored. Owned by Roger and Angela Richards from 1980 until 1990. 15/10/1988 - 'Triune' had a 50th birthday party at Camper and Nicholson's Marina in Portsmouth, attended by many past owners, designers and builders, including Hammond Innes and Sir Charles and Lady Evans. Mr Barry Van Geffen and his wife Kate, represented Laurent Giles and Partners. 'Triune' is on the dust cover of the book Laurent Giles - 'An Evolution of Yacht Design' by Adrian Lee and Ruby Philpott with a foreword by Olin Stephens, published in 1990. She also appears on page 42. In 1991 David Knights bought 'Triune' and races her regularly in the south coast regattas of the UK. |
