John and brother George were builders and developers, responsible for running and building the original Barwon Heads pub, prominent Queenscliff buildings and also sub-dividing acres at Point Lonsdale where Golightly Street stands today in old Lonsdale,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cMy great grandparents were at the time very progressive in building the town. Jack was mayor for many years (seven terms) and founded the Queenscliffe Historical Museum.<br \/>\n\u201cThe Golightly Park down in the caravan park on the foreshore in Point Lonsdale, he organised the 100-year lease for that to be turned from government land into council tourism land for camping to allow people to come down from Melbourne.<br \/>\n\u201cNo one camped back then. If you had a lot of money and could stay at the Vue Grand and the guesthouses, you would. That sort of changed the way land was made available for campers and holidaymakers.<br \/>\n\u201cFrom a historic point of view, he also founded the Queenscliff Point Lonsdale Yacht Club. The original name was the Swan Bay Boat Club.<br \/>\n\u201cThat yacht club is down King Street; it\u2019s that little white shack down on the water there. Originally it was up Swan Bay a bit more, but back then they wanted to move it to that location, so they floated it out and brought it back to where it is now. Jack\u2019s handmade wooden boat shed doors are still hung in position today.\u201d<br \/>\nWhen Jack was part of the yacht club\u2019s reform in the \u201840s, there were no boats appropriate for sailing on Swan Bay.<br \/>\nHe teamed up with local boat builder Peter Locke to design the \u201cSwan Class\u201d, which became the first fleet to sail on its shallow waters in 1948 when the club officially opened.<br \/>\nIn October last year, Liam tracked down and purchased one of the last of the original Swan sailing boats from the 1947-48 line for $4,000 through Facebook.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s named \u201cAnnie-May\u201d after Jack\u2019s sister, Annie, and his daughter Nancy-May who married Gil.<br \/>\nWhile Gil completed his boatbuilding apprenticeship with Peter, Liam said the design (which he has the original drawings for) was by his great grandfather, Jack.<br \/>\n\u201cHe (Gil) did all the drafting for it, but the design was by Jack Golightly Senior and Peter Locke. My grandfather was telling me not to go for it. He was 17 when he moved to Queenscliff from Portarlington, and he lived here until he was 88.<br \/>\n\u201cHe was a real go-getter in the town with community projects, but he was never considered a local, even in his last weeks.<br \/>\n\u201cHe would say \u2018I was never a local, unless you were born here, you weren\u2019t a local\u2019.<br \/>\n\u201cBut he married one of the biggest locals in town, really \u2013 he married into the Golightly family. Grandad was a very talented boat designer and he (Jack) was a hobby boat guy.<br \/>\n\u201cHe said \u2018I want you to have one of mine, I don\u2019t care about my father in law\u2019. It felt like there was a bit of that at the end, too.<br \/>\n\u201cThe Swan I secured is a wooden boat, there wasn\u2019t fibreglass back then, so it\u2019s got ribs and it\u2019s in the original wooden condition. Most wooden boats fell apart or rotted away.\u201d<br \/>\nWhen the family heirloom found its way home after more than 70 years, Liam said it was as though a piece of history had returned to its land, like a boomerang soaring through time to rediscover its beginning.<br \/>\n\u201cThey couldn\u2019t have done the drawings without my grandfather because he was the apprentice. He went on to found his own company, Gilcraft, which is well known across Australia.<br \/>\n\u201cThe two famous names in boat building and boat design in Queenscliff are Cayzer and Gilcraft. There was a bit of competition between Cayzer and Gilcraft back in the day.<br \/>\n\u201cPeople rename boats after Gilcraft or try to tag my grandfather\u2019s name to boost the price.<br \/>\n\u201cI think it\u2019s really nice that an old wooden boat from 1947, one of the first fleet of the Queenscliff Point Lonsdale Yacht Club, has returned to family hands to keep for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37186\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37186\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-37186\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/04\/family-3-aaa-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gil Allbutt and his grandson Liam Petrie-Allbutt shared a special friendship.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The story of how Gil and Nancy-May met is indicative of Gil\u2019s pioneering yet brazen attitude, and it was told in his final days.<br \/>\n\u201cIn the last month he started telling us stories we\u2019d never heard. My grandmother was quite a beautiful lady; she was always picked out of the crowd.<br \/>\n\u201cHe said to me there was a sailing competition in Queenscliff and the whole Sorrento Yacht Club were sailing over here and someone said to my grandfather \u2018Look, those boys are coming over from Sorrento on the weekend, you better make sure you\u2019re dating Nancy\u2019.<br \/>\n\u201cBefore they got over here on that weekend, he asked her out on a date to make sure that she wouldn\u2019t get snapped up by someone else.\u201d<br \/>\nAn avid jazz musician and drummer, Gil was known for saying \u2018I came to Queenscliff to marry Nancy and belt drums\u2019.<br \/>\nLiam said his grandfather inspired him to build a design career of his own, and that his firm \u201cAll Design\u201d was named in his honour.<br \/>\n\u201cHe taught me everything I know about design. He was a public figure in Queenscliff but never on council.<br \/>\n\u201cHe and my grandmother founded the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum, and he would speak at history events and was always reeled out\u2026 he was quite proud of himself.<br \/>\n\u201cHe played drums at the Queenscliff Music Festival for 19 years on the big stage.<br \/>\n\u201cMy grandmother loved the theatre and so they came up with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qltg.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Lighthouse Theatre Group<\/a>, which is pretty successful. My grandfather wanted to be involved so he organised the music side.<br \/>\n\u201cHe had a really interesting history in life. He wasn\u2019t an old man, he looked old, but he was with it right to the end.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The life and times of the late Gil Allbutt cannot be spoken or written about without a grin stretching from one cheek to the other.
