CHANTICLEER Yacht for Sale

CHANTICLEER is one of the Grand Dames of yachting. Originally built for Ogden Phipps and named BUCKPASSER after one of his more famous thoroughbreds, she was designed by Jack Hargrave and, at the time, was the largest vessel built by Burger, and the first Burger with a helipad.

She was purchased by singer, actress and philanthropist Frances Langford in 1986. Ms. Langford was a passionate yachtswoman, and it was she who added the cockpit to facilitate her love of fishing. CHANTICLEER was enjoyed by Ms. Langford, friends, family and dignitaries until the time of her passing in 2005. Since that time she has had three owners, each devoted to preserving the legacy through obsession to preventative maintenance, upgrades and attention to detail.

The time has come for a new chapter as her current owners have other matters to attend. Their desire is that the next owners not only appreciate the overall quality of CHANTICLEER, but also value her place in yachting's history.

Further question, Frances Langford owned a waterfront restaurant in the same area, named after her. Does anyone know if it is still in business. It was a grteat spot and great food.

schmiergolf New Member

Chanticleer (108') Chanticleer (108') is currently in my yard (Hinckley Yacht) undergoing major interior refit, paint, etc. New owners have a real passion for quality and fine wood design. New teak decks are also in place. The yacht used to tie up across from the Dolphin Bar restaraunt in Jensen Beach. Great food and a good place to take somebody. The old Captain (Junior) still comes around and checks out our work. I spent many hours going over billing with Jr and company at the Langford estate. I have walked Jr over to count the gallons of paint I put on the boats bottom many times. We love that boat here as if we own it. Its just a great thing to have a yacht with that kind of historical significance in the yard. Darryl Schmiermund Hinckley Yacht Stuart, FL

Welcome to YF Darryl. Thank you for bringing us up to speed. I had lunch right across the Manatee Pocket from you on Saturday. I was thinking about a drive by the yard, but it was beginning to rain and I decided to head home.

ccamper, Stop by anytime. I'll be the guy pulling his hair out but will take the time to show you around a bit. I'm usually here on weekends as well but this weekend is golf, finally, golf! -D

The Original 118 Defoe Cruisemaster Chanticleer sits in Jimmy Gillikan's boat yard... Gillikin Marine Railway on Radio Island, NC. The shafts have been pulled, and it is in a state of disrepair... Doesnt have much brightwork left. Thick coat of green primer on the whole boat. Somebody needs to save her. The yard is only around till maybe this summer, going to get a condo on top of it. Don't know what they will do with the derelicts.

couch New Member

Defoe Chanticleer Zach...do you have a contact for someone at this NC yard?

Hi Couch, I happened to catch your profile when you signed up. Seems you've acquired Ralph's rooster! Hope you don't mind our members "singing" its praises. Good luck with the old girl. A brilliant buy! And thanks for joining.

I have a Mystery for you... was hoping you might have a magical database that might hold the secret. I am researching an old Defoe Yacht that used to belong to Phil Berg. It was called the Savitar. 1 of 6 "Cruisemasters", built in the forties in bay city Michigan. Length 118', Beam 18' 6", Delivered 1947 It was built for and owned by a fella named Phil Berg. He may have been the famous Talent agent from the heyday of Hollywood. There is a model of the yacht in the California Yacht Club lobby. Which is where it caught my eye. This is the only information I was able to find : "The Savitar model was donated to CYC in the early 70's by our member, Phil Berg. He had the original boat built in 1947 by the Defoe Shipbuilding Company of Bay City, Michigan. The model is a 3/8" scale to her 128' overall length. Phil cruised this boat extensively and carried a crew of 9 people. I have no idea if she is still around." I have managed to find some of her sister ships and lots of magazine articles from the forties. 2 of them are already at the bottom of the sea as artificial reefs, and one of them, the Chanticleer which used to be owned by Francis Langford and Ralph Evinrude, is floating in a yard in North Carolina, in relatively poor condition I have phots of her and have spoken to the current owner. I have tracked savitar to South africa. She was sold to a buyer there in the late seventies. Can you help me find the Savitar?

messboy New Member

I worked on the Defoe Cruisemster, "Vergemere", owned by the Phipps family out of Palm Beach,Fl. during the late 50's. It was said to be the sistership to the original "Chanticleer". Wondered if she's still afloat? A real beautiful vessel.

andrews7902 New Member

FYI, In the November '07 Issue of PMY "America's 100 Largest Yachts", there is an article on Langford and her 108' Chanticleer, the 118 Defoe, and also pics of the 108' as she is presently with her refitted interior and dark blue hull. Worth a look!

Defoe Hunter New Member

Defoe Searching http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/library/hcgl/vessel.html the best tool I've found for starting a search on great lakes vessels is at the URL above. Does anyone have an update on the Defoe's mentioned above? I grew up in Bay City, Michigan and went to school with some of the Defoe great grand kids. I was able to cut class on a few occasions and watch them launch some of their last ships before the place closed.

Savitar Sorry, I forgot to add the link to the Savitar. Looks like it is the same information you have, but didn't know if you had the #'s. http://ul.bgsu.edu/cgi-bin/xvsl2.cgi

I remember Chanticleer well - she came into the Great Lakes in the summers and up to the Evinrude's island in the North Channel of Georgian Bay, down at the end of Bay Finne. Beautiful boat with a dark blue hull. I also remember the Natoya which was docked at the Detroit Boat Basin for years. She was gray and white if I remember correctly. The Cruisemasters were very efficient boats with four low horsepower GM 6-71's on two shafts.

defoe cruisemsters Defoe cruisemsters... I have been able to account for 4 of the 5 cruisemasters. But Savitar eludes me.She was sold to south Africa after that and I cannot trace her any further. Any one have any ideas.. ? L

Just received a pic from YF member; "NantucketSailor" of a 1948 Defoe Cruisemaster, built by Defoe Shipbuilding in Bay City, MI. The name of the boat was "Maryland Lady". He indicated only 6 Cruisemasters were built by Defoe. The image came from the Maryland Governor's Mansion. Here's the message... 1948 Defoe Cruisemaster - Bay City Michigan. Registered as a Police Patrol Boat for the State of Maryland and served as the official State Yacht for the Maryland Government House Trust from 1960 - 1979. (Call Sign WB5758, Vin: 255675.) This yacht has not been registered with the United States Coast Guard since 2001. If you have any information on the current location of this boat, please let me know...

Good looking but not the original The original Chanticleer was 118' and once a summer usually made the trip through the Great Lakes and down into Long Island and Nantucket Sounds. In the early to mid fifties her sister ship the Savitar was berthed in Stamford, CT. These pictures are of a subsequent vessel carrying the same name.

Thomas Pace said: To be specific ... CHANTICLEER was commisioned by my Great Uncle, John C. Pace. My Father, Thomas M. Pace, Sr took delivery of CHANTICLEER at the DeFoe yard, and ran her through the Great Lakes, out the St Lawrence Seaway, where they encountered exceptionally rough weather causing 38-degree rolls ... at 118' LOA and roughly 18' beam with a round bottom, the much later added stabilizers were no doubt a Godsend. She was sold to a foreign national many years later, and ultimately became the proud and happy ship for Ralph Evinrude. amd thus the connection to Mrs. Stuart. If anyone knows of the yard or the website where CHANTICLEER can be found, I would appreciate learning it - Shortly after the end of WW II, my Great Uncle John wanted a fine yacht, and contacted old man Huckins ... after some discussions about the size and specifics of the boat (a 58'-64' plan), my Great Uncle added he preferred a blue hull. As the story goes, Mr. Huckins responded that ALL Huckins boats were grey. John replied that if he was paying for the boat to be built, he could choose whatever hull color he so desired ... Huckins replied that if he was going to build it, the boat would be grey. John calmly relplied, ' Mr. Huckins, it appears we cannot do business' ... shortly after, Mr. DeFoe agreed to build John the 118' CHANTICLEER, with a dark blue hull. Click to expand...

M/Y CHANTICLEER has a most colorful and storied history through the course of her noteworthy previous owners. Although she may be more famous as Frances Langford´s CHANTICLEER, she was originally built for Ogden Phipps, who was one of the dominant figures in thoroughbred horse racing in the 20th century. Phipps was involved with a number of high pedigree horses, including Secretariat, the 1973 Triple Crown winner, and Buckpasser, the 1966 Horse of the Year. The Phipps families collectively have the most Breeders´ Cup wins in history. Ogden enjoyed immense success as an athlete and won 7 US tennis championships and in 1949 was The British Amateur champion. He was inducted into the International Court Tennis Hall of Fame in 2001. Phipps wintered in Palm Beach, which is where he learned of J.B. Hargrave Naval Architects. Noted naval architect Jack Hargrave designed "Buckpasser" as a luxurious four stateroom cruiser in the typical Burger layout of the day. However, Frances Langford was known as the "Sweetheart of World War II". Her trademark song, "I´m in the Mood for Love" captivated soldiers during the 1940s. Her first appearance in Bob Hope´s radio show ("The Pepsodent Show") was in 1941. She performed as a singer and comic actress from 1935 to 1954. While Langford traveled the world with the USO Bob Hope Shows, she often experienced the hazard of war first hand, taking shelter during bombing raids and dodging aerial attacks. Frances was both fascinated and frightened by her experiences in combat zones, but she has always said that the greatest satisfaction in her life was entertaining the troops.

News, notes and thoughts:

11 January, 2021   / The Kochubeevskaya wind farm with an installed capacity of 210 MW, the largest in Russia, has been commissioned in Stavropol Krai. With a total area of about 200 hectares, it includes 84 wind turbines, each 150 meters high, the length of the blades - 50 meters.

History of Stavropol Krai

The most ancient archaeological finds date back to the 4th millennium BC. The territory of the present Stavropol region was successively part of the state of the Scythians (the 7th - 5th centuries BC), Sarmatians (the 3rd century BC - the 3rd century AD), Huns (the 4th - 5th centuries AD).

Later, from 620 to 969, this territory was part of the ancient state called the Khazar Khaganate. Approximately in the 8th century, with the weakening of the Khazar Kaganate, the medieval state of the Alans appeared here. In 1238-1239, a significant part of the plain Alania was captured by the Mongols, and this state as a political entity ceased to exist.

In 1556, the Russian troops took Astrakhan and opened the way to the North Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. In Ciscaucasia, the interests of Russia, the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean Khanate, and Iran collided.

In 1777, according to the decree of Catherine II, the Azov-Mozdok defensive line was founded, which gave rise to colonization of the Ciscaucasia and the North Caucasus. The territory of the Stavropol region became part of Astrakhan oblast. In November 1777, the fortress called Stavropolskaya was founded. In 1782, about 500 retired soldiers lived there.

More historical facts…

In 1785, in connection with the development of Ciscaucasia, the Caucasian guberniya (province) was created that included the Caucasian and Astrakhan regions. Since that time, Stavropol officially became one of the six county-level towns of the Caucasus region.

With the development of the Ciscaucasia, Stavropol was gaining an increasing importance as an important trade and transit center. It became a kind of the main gate of the Caucasus. In 1822, the Caucasian province was transformed into an oblast and Stavropol became its center. After the defeat of the Decembrist uprising, a lot of its participants were sent here. In 1837 - 1841, Mikhail Lermontov, exiled to the Caucasus, visited Stavropol several times.

In 1847, the Caucasian oblast was reformed into Stavropol gubernia. With the formation of the Kuban and Terek Cossack regions and the end of the Caucasian War, the military-political and economic importance of Stavropol significantly reduced.

In 1919, the Stavropol province was occupied by the Bolsheviks and included in the territory of the North Caucasian Soviet Republic. As a result of the Second Kuban campaign the region went under the control of the Volunteer Army.

In October 1924, the North Caucasian region was formed and Stavropol gubernia was reformed into a district within the region. On January 10, 1934, the North Caucasian Krai was divided into the Azovo-Chernomorsky and North Caucasian. The town of Pyatigorsk became the center of North Caucasian Krai. In March 1936, North Caucasian Krai was reformed and, on its territory, Ordzhonikidze Krai with the center in Ordzhonikidze (Stavropol) was formed.

During the Second World War, from August 1942 to January 1943, the region was occupied by the German troops. In 1943, Ordzhonikidze Krai was renamed Stavropol Krai. In December 1956, the first part of the Stavropol-Moscow gas pipeline with a length of 1,300 km was commissioned (at that time, it was the longest gas pipeline in Europe).

During the 1970s-1980s, 56 new enterprises were opened in the region, among them the Prikumsky Plastics Plant - the largest chemical plant in the region, four power units at the Stavropol power station, and new capacities at the Nevinnomyssk enterprise “Azot”.

On July 3, 1991, Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous Region withdrew from Stavropol Krai and became the Karachay-Cherkess Soviet Socialist Republic. On April 21, 1992, it became the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia of the Russian Federation.

Tributes paid to Mike Lynch, 'genius father of modern AI', after death in Bayesian yacht sinking

• Cambridgeshire
• Friday 23 August 2024 at 1:24pm

Tributes have been paid to "genius polymath" Mike Lynch after his body and that of his daughter were recovered from the sea off the coast of Sicily.

The tech boss's luxury yacht, Bayesian, was moored around half a mile off the coast of Porticello when it sank as the area was hit by a storm. The bodies of Mr Lynch, Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, and his wife Neda Morvillo have all now been recovered from the sea, while a sixth body, believed to be Mr Lynch's 18-year-old Hannah, was found on Friday morning.

Tributes from his friends and former colleagues described his contribution to the advancement of artificial intelligencem, and reflected on his personal warmth.

David Tabizel, Lynch's co-founder at Autonomy - the company that was sold to Hewlett-Packard for $11bn in 2011, and later subject to fraud investigations - said: "RIP to my friend Mike Lynch. He was exhausting, exhilarating and incisive.

"A witty, loyal polymath with a mind like a razor blade. A glorious professional companion and true friend.

"Britain's Bill Gates? Not really. Britain's Steve Jobs. The father of modern AI.

"His sense of fun and humour and inner child was on full display and was great company. When I met him, he had just designed a video game console, the Atari Jaguar. With a giant train-set in his garden and sense of the absurd he was a pleasure to spend time with."

"He’d have gone on to achieve even greater things if he’d lived, I’m sure. He could do anything if he put his mind to it. Britain today needs as much rational leadership to climb out of economic malaise Dr Lynch would have been the ultimate, inspirational leader of such a movement."

Mr Lynch, who was 59, lived in Loudham Hall near Woodbridge in Suffolk and served as Deputy Lieutenant of Suffolk.

Clare, Countess of Euston, Lord-Lieutenant of Suffolk, said: "Mike was one of Suffolk’s most inspirational citizens.

"He was quite simply a genius. A global leader in his field but so much more than that.

"A kind and compassionate man who was always ready to help, hugely generous, the best of friends, but it will be his warm and wonderful smile that will be impossible for me to forget."

Following the sale of Autonomy, Mr Lynch co-founded Darktrace, a cyber security firm based in Cambridge.

A spokesperson for Darktrace said: "We are shocked and saddened by the news... Mike was an active champion in the UK's technology sector and a committed husband and father.

"His loss will be felt by many. Our thoughts are with his family and all the families who have lost loved ones in this awful event."

Eleanor Lightbody, the chief executive of Luminance, a Cambridge-based AI company that Mr Lynch also founded, said: "Mike was a visionary unlike any other. He had a unique ability to spot the next technological revolution and solve tomorrow’s challenges before others even knew they were coming. "Beyond that, it was his connection to people that made him special. He had a steadfast belief in the UK’s technology sector, in our incredible academic institutions, and in the talent he took the time to spot and nurture, regardless of background or discipline.

"Above all, Mike was a kind man who had an impact on many and will be sorely missed. I feel honoured to have known him, worked with him and learnt from him over the years."
