Spirit-Of-Tradition Registry: Swede 55 -- A Knud Reimers Design
Saved by uncleflo on February 12th, 2022.
Surprisingly undocumented for a design this important — most searches for the “Vortex 55” lead to a hand mixer — these Knud Reimers boats were among the first group to sound the starting gun for the modern Spirit-of-Tradition narrative. Drawn in 1975, the Swede 55 was all about Reimers adapting a square-meter rule, popular for that time, to a mass-produced, fiberglass 53-foot day-sailer. Something like 35 were built between about 1975 and 1985, with names like Tiana, and Rosina. What matters today is, if you look carefully at the original design to the right, is how Reimers lays out most of the arguments of the Spirit-of-Tradition continuum: A traditional looking overhanging bow and stern, a slender hull matched to a modern keel and spade rudder — all with the most current rig and sails of the time. But what makes the design indispensable is how, back in the late 1980s Steve White, owner of Maine’s Brooklin Boat Yard, decided the Swede 55 would speak to his interests more if built out of composite wood construction. White had Reimers make a few tweaks for the build; and after a reported 7,000 man-hours of production (whoa!), a cold-molded wood layup of this modern-classic splashed into Maine’s Jericho Bay in 1990, christened as Vortex. We’ll save the ugly nitty-gritty of finessing the Spirit-of-Tradition principles into the constrained square-meter rule at the heart of this boat for another day. But still, we’ve sailed Vortex a lot. We’re in a few of these photos and videos, if you look carefully. And we can honestly report, of all the Spirit-of-Tradition boats we’ve sailed and designed, the Swede 55 is as pure a modern-classic as any vessel afloat. The Swede 55 may be from another era. But she still matters today.

What is Freemasonry | United Grand Lodge of England
Saved by uncleflo on February 9th, 2022.
One of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, Freemasonry's roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles. It is here that a number of the famous elements of Freemasonry find their roots. In the medieval era, stonemasons often travelled around to find work in different locations. To demonstrate their level of qualification, they would use grips, words and signs in order to distinguish themselves from unqualified builders. Freemasonry uses building analogies to teach members how to lead productive lives that benefit the communities that they live in. In the medieval era, stonemasons wore aprons and gloves to protect themselves while working on shaping rough pieces of stone, but in today’s society Freemasons meet to build friendships and communities rather than cathedrals and castles. For Freemasons, there are four important values that help define their path through life: Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity. In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these principles ring as true now as they have at any point in the organisation’s history.

Belga Queen - Brussels Restaurant - Brasserie - Club, by Antoine Pinto
Saved by uncleflo on February 6th, 2022.
Every week the Chef proposes a business menu with seasonal products. All the products used in our dishes are selected with the greatest care near Belgian craftsmen who respect the quality and the tradition of the Belgian soil. Remarkable wines of Belgian vintners from all over the world. Antoine Pinto's desire to create getaway spaces which offer a gastronomic trip throughout Belgium is the foundation of the Belga Queen brasserie adventure. In a landmark building dating from the 18th century (previously housing the Hôtel de la Poste and then the Crédit du Nord bank) Antoine Pinto created an establishment breaking away from the traditional brasserie, elbow-to-elbow style. Contemporary architecture and gastronomy meet each other in an amazing way.

The boats - Gitana : Offshore racing stable created by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild
Saved by uncleflo on October 28th, 2019.
The Gitana fleet evolves with every passing season and the various competitions within them. However, whether they have one, two or three hulls, the Edmond de Rothschild craft all have one thing in common: innovation and excellence. After a brief spell in the monohull and Vendée Globe universe for two seasons, together with the construction and fine-tuning of a latest generation 60-footer equipped with foils, the racing stable founded by Ariane and Benjamin de Rothschild is returning to its first love: the multihull. The Maxi Edmond de Rothschild - christened Gitana 17 – is joining the long Gitana line heralding a new era in the category of large oceanic multihulls. Indeed, with this boat, the team intends to fly around the world.
