BROKERS COMMENTS 

Along with their functional qualities Mylne’s yachts displayed a spectacular fineness of line. Built from teak by Stephen and Son in 1934, this yacht – even in an era noted for the creation of fine boats was considered a special beauty. EILEEN II to this day succeeds as a family cruising yacht – with more accommodation than similar vessels of this period. Her current owners have kept her in fine condition, sailing in Northern Europe; the yacht proving herself once again in colder climes and more rugged conditions. 

HISTORY 

She was launched as ALBYN in 1934 towards the end of the Golden Age of classic yachts. Scotland and especially the Clyde were international leaders in the design and building of these graceful craft and there is no finer pedigree than that of Alfred Mylne, pupil of the illustrious G. L. Watson, and the shipyard of Stephens of Linthouse on the Clyde. Officially described as an auxiliary engined gaff rigged ketch, she is 92 foot overall and 82 foot on deck, originally fitted with an eight litre Gleniffer paraffin engine.

She was built for the Glasgow tobacco magnate Robert French, a leading yachtsman of his day. The Lloyds register of 1936 shows him not only as a member of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club but also as Commodore of both the Royal Cruising Club and the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club of Cowes. He raced her successfully both on the Clyde and at Cowes and she was on the Solent when war broke out in 1939, sailing for Dunkirk for the evacuation in 1940.

In 1947 she was purchased by the wife of the Italian Publisher Sr Feltrinelli and renamed GIALESE - her own name while retaining Southampton as her Port of Registry, although she was sailed to the Mediterranean and Porto Santo Stefano became her home port in Italy.

The Feltrinelli family kept her until the death of Sra Feltrinelli in 1983 and she was subsequently put up for sale at Sotheby's in London.

An industrialist with interests in a well known Italian shipyard purchased her and the yacht underwent a major refit over some eighteen months. She was launched again in the summer of 1986, perfectly restored to her original condition, and renamed GALASHIEL in honour of the Scottish region of her building in 1934, with Montrose as her Port of Registry.

At the Classic Yacht rally Imperia (Italy) in 1987, GALASHIEL received the award for the best interpreter of tradition thanks to her largely original interior and deck details.

In the summer of 1993 Erling Storm from Norway bought her and sailed here to Oslo. At the Risör Wooden Boat festival on the 7th of August that same year, Arja Sayjonmaa gave her the new name EILEEN II. Now as a charter yacht she is checked annually and certified for (up to 30 passengers) by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate
 

CONSTRUCTION 

EILEEN II is a 92 ft gaff ketch with counter stern and spoon bow with a short bowsprit. She is built with teak hull planking on steel frames and beams. The 2 ¼ in teak planking is fastened to the frames with bronze bolts. The planks are butted on steel straps. Planks are fastened in the rabbet with bronze screws. The deck is teak laid planking screwed from beneath through the steel beams. There are many strengthening plates especially around the mast, hatches, under covering board etc.
