English: Adare (ex-Tachoma)
Rig: Gaff Length Over All: 46' Length on Deck: 43' Length of Waterline: Beam: 10'7" Draft: 5' Sail Area: 960 sq. ft. Sail Number: 7 Built/Launched: Big Tancook Island, Nova Scotia 1905 Designer/Builder: Reuben Heisler Major Rebuilds: 1938 - John Paterson, 2001-2006 - Geoff Tingley Homeport: Petite Riviere, Nova Scotia ADARE was built in 1905 for Sandy Wilson, a fisherman on Big Tancook. She had an open deck and was one of dozens used for ground fishing and transporting produce, including cabbage and fish to Halifax and Chester. ADARE's tiny transom is believed to be one of the first if not the first of its design. The familiar Tancook Whaler, double ended and pinky was the design that carried over from the late 1800's. It is possible ADARE or TACHOMA as she was first known was pinky but she sure looked different from astern. ADARE changed hands and eventually landed "on the hard" at Dartmouth's shipyard in 1938. Shipyard superintendant, John Paterson decided to bring this beauty back to life as a Schooner Yacht. When she was re-launched, she was given the name ADARE after John Paterson's wife's birthplace in the south of Ireland. With the threat of war, John Paterson and friends had to curtail their enjoyable excursions on ADARE the yacht and delivered her to the eastern shore around Jeddore for the duration of hostilities. After the war, Brigadier Gen. Victor deB Oland, a prominent brewer, arranged to buy ADARE and thus began his love for the traditional Nova Scotia schooner rig. It is believed Mr. Oland's decision to build a replica of the original Bluenose was influenced by his experience with ADARE. The Nova Scotia Schooner Association was formed aboard ADARE July 25, 1961. A meeting between Lt. Governor Oland and Ralph and Julie Tingley in 1882 led to an agreement whereby the Tingley’s took care of the schooner and race her for the Oland family. ADARE was purchased from Mr. Oland’s estate in 1985 and immediately sailed to the United States for an International Regatta between the American Schooner Association and the NSSA. |
