A dream boat
Paul Gold has learnt the hard way how to fulfil a childhood ambition.
Frank Mortimer finds out how he achieved his goal.
For Paul Gold and his wife, Sarah, 4 June 2004 was one of the most exciting days of their lives - at 5 pm
the boat they had made, Shining Star, was finally ready. For nearly a decade, almost every minute of Paul’s
spare time had been spent building it at an improvised construction yard close to the North Sea and the Golds’ family home. Judging by its impressive size, this couldn’t have been an easy task.
Paul confirmed that making it had been a real challenge. He researched the best way to go about it,
seeking the advice of experienced boat makers. Fortunately, he didn’t have to learn everything from scratch.
(1)……………. . This reliance on other people’s expertise does not, however, make his achievement any less impressive.
Over the years, local residents had watched absorbed as the boat took shape. (2)…………….Now this
seagoing landmark was about to be pushed into the water to sail on its first voyage.
Launching the boat proved to be almost as tricky as building it. (3)………………. And even when that
was done, a wooden plank on the side of the boat gave way, which caused the boat to lean over alarmingly.
(4)…………….. Unshaken, Paul borrowed a small motorboat to pull it forward and managed to repair it
and get it fully upright once again. Shining Star now made its way with great dignity onto the open sea.
Paul and Sarah’s pride was visible. (5)……………… During the long years of its construction, neither of
them had known for certain that Shining Star would float - there had always been a slight fear of failure.
Paul may never have built a boat before, but he’s had a long-standing love affair with the sea.
(6)……………….. He and Sarah have also both been members of the local yachting club for many years.
Paul and Sarah are particularly pleased that the boat is much more roomy than other boats they have
owned - it sleeps up to eight people. (7)…………………. To get a bigger boat, we had to make it ourselves,’
said Sarah. And since that day in 2004, the Golds have been living six months of the year at home and six
months at sea, exploring some of the remotest islands in the world and at the same time escaping the cold and the grey skies of a northern European winter. ‘It has all definitely been worth the effort,’ said Paul, ‘but I
don’t think I could go through it all again.’
A. As a result of this problem, the iron section just above the waterline suffered some damage.
B. In fact, that’s the main reason why they decided to build rather than buy one.
C. It is true to say that Sarah is not as mad about boats and the sea as Paul is.
D. He’s always had a small boat and he’s been sailing since he was sixteen.
E. He stuck to an established design and was able to follow clear guidelines which he found in specialist
publications.
F. But their strongest emotion when they were actually able to stand on board was relief.
G. In fact, it took the efforts of two men to dig out a channel deep enough to float it.
H. Its tall white masts and reddish structure had become a familiar part of their landscape.
