Lunch with… superyacht owner Sir Charles Dunstone

There is little fuss when Sir Charles Dunstone walks into London’s Nottingdale restaurant where we’ve agreed to meet. This is despite the fact that we’re on the ground floor of the tower block that houses the TalkTalk Telecom Group, of which Dunstone is chairman. According to the mythology of Britain’s popular press, Dunstone is the man who founded the Carphone Warehouse with £6,000 of savings, and turned it into a billion pound fortune – but no one in Nottingdale looks fazed by his presence.

Relaxed and dressed in a grey suit and open-necked shirt, he doesn’t take long to get settled at a table, and his easy manner rustles up menus and a couple of fruit juices. The food is being cooked in an open kitchen behind the counter and looks fabulous. I decide on the porcini risotto and Dunstone goes for the leek and gruyere tart with a salad, although the latter remains largely untouched, as he seems more keen to talk. Whatever the truth of that press legend, Dunstone’s is quite a business empire – but I have simply come to talk to him about his other passion, sailing.

Dunstone has a deep affiliation with the sport; as a child he holidayed on the east coast of England, at a place called Burnham Overy Staithe. It’s a beautiful part of the county of Norfolk on England’s east coast, sheltered from the North Sea by tidal creeks, salt marshes and dunes. And as Dunstone points out with a smile, it’s where Horatio Nelson learned to row and sail before he joined the British Navy.

In fact, it’s the kind of place where everyone has some connection to the water. Or as Dunstone puts it, ‘When the tide was out you went to the beach, and when the tide was in you went sailing.’

He needed little more inspiration than that; his parents weren’t particularly into boats, but they owned a rowing dinghy when he was very young. He grew up messing around in boats on those Norfolk holidays, and by the time he was 10 Dunstone had his own Optimist.

He graduated to an Enterprise – a wooden, Bermudan-rigged dinghy for two people, designed in 1956. Dunstone’s was an early version and rather ancient by the time he got it. He rattles off the sail number – 3241 – without missing a beat.

Dunstone did all his early sailing at Overy Staithe and at school, on an inland reservoir called Rutland Water. His parents lived abroad and so the route familiar to many of his generation (Dunstone is in his late 40s) wasn’t open to him – with no mum and dad available to drive to race meetings, there was no Mirror, Cadet or 420 dinghy. So his sailing was very much connected to North Norfolk, and the trail only leaves the tidal flats and marshes of Overy Staithe after Dunstone’s first wave of business success.

First taste of racing

At that point he joined with another early-days Carphone Warehouse man called Guy Johnson, and together they bought a Beneteau 45F5 called Space .

Like hundreds of others on the Solent they raced it with friends and contacts, doing Cowes Week, the Round the Island, and across the English Channel with the Royal Ocean Racing Club.

‘My deep dislike of offshore racing was [already] developing by then,’ adds Dunstone.

They were never going to win anything in that boat, and eventually Dunstone struck out on his own and upgraded to a much more competitive Bashford Howison 41. It was followed by a Corby 42, each boat owned and raced for about three years.

To an outside observer of Dunstone’s sailing career, the yacht that came next is probably the most memorable – but it’s the one I have to remind him about. She was called Enigma, and started her life as a Reichel Pugh 76 called Chance with just one TransPac under her belt.

Dunstone bought her during the winter of 2002-03 and as he says, ‘That was an amazing year.’

In 2003, Enigma won the Rolex Fastnet Race, in the autumn they won the Rolex Middle Sea Race, and finally in 2004 the Giraglia Rolex Cup. The crew included such luminaries as navigator Jules Salter, who went onto win the Volvo Ocean Race with Ericsson in 2008-09, and Neal McDonald, who at the time of writing was leading the latest iteration of the VOR as a watch captain aboard Telefónica .

‘I remember coming back up the Solent having gone round the island on that boat, coming back from the Needles at a steady 27 knots,’ recalls Sir Dunstone. But despite the fond memories and all the successes, Enigma taught him that offshore racing really wasn’t his thing.

‘You feel that if you get a bigger boat it’s not going to be as bad, but in truth it’s not much better.’

The ride didn’t last much longer anyway. In Cowes Week, barely a couple of months after the Giraglia win they came up against the first of the TP52s to reach British waters.

‘We just couldn’t get away from it, and realised this has been amazing… but unfortunately, no one-off boat is ever going to compete with a TP, because they have been so optimised over time, refined and refined and refined.’

So he sold Enigma and went shopping for one of the new boats. ‘TPs were the hot, hot thing.’

It was the second of the two he owned that was the more successful: a 2007 generation Judel Vrolijk that Dunstone bought in 2008 and raced through the back-end of the noughties.

Rio was named after the Duran Duran song (pop star Simon Le Bon would race on board), and picked up more than her fair share of trophies, including Cowes Week class wins in 2009 and 2010. This was despite the presence of RAN, Niklas Zennstrom’s TP52 and his first truly serious foray into racing boats. The latter had a fully professional crew that included helmsman Tim Powell.

Dunstone still drives his own boats. ‘It was painful looking at the back of RAN as much as we did. But it was very, very good to watch someone round the mark in front of us and put half a boat length on because they did it better – we really learned.’

Racing Wally

In parallel to the racing boats Dunstone has also owned cruising yachts, initially a Swan 86 and more recently Hamilton II , a 36m Briand design built by Construction Navale Bordeaux. He raced these boats too and sure enough, soon took it more seriously. His experience will ring a bell with many.

‘It just got out of control, because we started to put Kevlar sails on and put more and more load on the boat, and we kept upgrading system after system to take the bigger loads, and in the end we were going to break the boat.’ He formed the view that, ‘Compromise boats are not the thing if you want hard-core racing.’

And then in June 2010, on a big breezy day at the Loro Piana in Porto Cervo, Hamilton II and the 45m Dubois design Salperton IV were trading tacks up ‘bomb alley’, the narrow channel between Sardinia and the offshore islands to the north.

The bigger Dubois design had just ducked behind Hamilton as they beat towards the finish. Then as Salperton luffed back to her course, a jib sheet parted. First mate Mark Goodwin got caught by the flogging rope and was hurled against the boom vang. He broke six ribs and damaged his spleen, which later had to be removed.

‘It was blowing 30 knots and we’re sat on this boat with loads the builders and the designer probably never imagined we’d put on it. At that stage, I said we’re not going to race this boat anymore.’

It was a decisive moment. Despite not being directly involved in the accident, Dunstone was clear about the impact. ‘It brought it home to everyone.’

So where does he stand on the burgeoning superyacht regatta circuit?

‘It is amazing fun, but you’ve got to understand that [racing] is what you’re going to do with the boat when you design it.’ Or…? ‘I sincerely hope not, but I fear there will be a real tragedy at some point.’

Dunstone’s own solution will hit the water this summer. His new boat is a Wally Cento, a 30m ‘box rule’ superyacht class with lightweight, carbon composite hulls. Dunstone will have one of the first two built, a Judel Vrolijk design constructed at Green Marine’s UK yard.

‘It is,’ says Sir Dunstone, ‘a proper superyacht that’s designed to allow you to race it.’ He hesitates, then adds, ‘It’s slightly like truck racing.’

Prettier than trucks, I point out. Sir Dunstone laughs, and clarifies: ‘You’re racing something bigger than you need to, to go at that speed.’

Racing passion

‘I was really keen to do something that was around a rule of some sort,’ Dunstone explains. This goes back to his belief that a TP52-style development class boat will always beat a one-off?

‘Yes, so they’ve done this box rule, it’s looser than the TP52, but that’s really good – you’ll get close racing, and get this kind of evolution. If you look at the sort of people that Wally attracts and the events they go to, they are the absolute pre-eminent brand of performance superyachts.’

Does he prefer racing or cruising? ‘Racing. I’ve come to the conclusion that if you’re not sailing to go as fast as you can, you might as well put the engine on.’

So no more cruising superyachts, then?

‘I like going and doing proper racing. We did the St Barth’s Bucket two years ago. We’d never go back and they’d never have us back – I think that was the understanding we came to. You’ve got to radio someone and ask permission to overtake them?’

It’s easy to see why the Wally should suit him – and Dunstone was never likely to go down the route of the line honours leviathans like Shockwave and Wild Oats .

But what about that other option? The 300 pound gorilla in the room when Dunstone is talking sailing: the America’s Cup.

Lunch with… superyacht owner Nancy Mueller

Dunstone had some involvement with Sir Keith Mills’ challenge in the America’s Cup, which was shut down late in 2010.

‘We concluded that [it] was impossible for us to raise enough money, or anything approaching enough money to be able to take part. We reckoned it was £130 million. And you think you might be able to raise… Well, Keith’s good, Keith’s done the Olympics… £30 million he thought – and Larry [Ellison] is almost certain to win it. And it would just be making us miserable. Sailing is meant to be about fun.’

So does he see himself ever getting involved again, if the game changes?

‘Never say never. I’m too busy at the moment with my work to be able to do it. So right now, if it looked feasible and there was someone credible trying to put a team together, I’d be minded to try and help them. But I’m certainly not going to…’ He tails off. Front it? I finish for him, rather tactlessly. ‘No. It seems like a lot of agony,’ he replies, ‘but someone’s got to bring it back to England at some stage.’ And he smiles.

Meanwhile, up in North Norfolk, he still has Enterprise 3241, now beautifully renovated. ‘I’ll never sell it,’ he says. And while he gets to go dinghy sailing occasionally, he’s found having a young family makes it easier to go to Sardinia to race for five days, than to weave the Enterprise into his everyday life.

So the Wally Cento will move to the Med for the Maxi Worlds, after her Solent debut in the Olympic summer of 2012, and then on to the Nioulargue and the rest of the Mediterranean circuit. And for now, one suspects that will be plenty enough sailing for Sir Charles Dunstone.

Classic British yacht undergoes refit in Palma

She served in the second world war.

The classic British yacht, Shamira, is undergoing a refit in Palma and she was successfully lifted out of the water by one of the massive cranes at the STP yard. She is now owned by British billionaire Sir Charles William Dunstone, founder of Carphone Warehouse.

The English industrialist Bernard Docker commissioned John I. Thornycroft & Company to build a yacht to his specifications. The yacht was built at Thornycroft's yard at Woolston, Southampton. She was completed in 1938 and christened MY Shemara .

MY Shemara was requisitioned by the Royal Navy at the start of the Second World War in 1939 and used as a training vessel for anti-submarine warfare. It was during a training exercise with HMS Shemara that the submarine HMS Untamed was lost with all her crew. Shemara left Royal Navy service in 1946.

Once returned to Docker's ownership, the Shemara became known for lavish parties with guests including King Farouk of Egypt. However in 1965, Docker put her on the market for £600,000, and she was eventually sold to the property developer Harry Hyams for £290,000.

Hyams used the Shemara on a number of Mediterranean cruises, but she was largely left laid up in Lowestoft, and was not regularly used between the 1980s and 2010.

From docker to dunstone.

Norah Docker’s yacht, Shemara, has found a saviour in Charles Dunstone

When spendaholics Sir Bernard and Lady Docker took ownership of a 65-metre yacht, the Shemara, in the 1950s, little did they know that it would ultimately become part of their nemesis. The very same boat – after languishing for many years – has now been fully restored and is now in the ownership of the telecommunications titan Sir Charles Dunstone .

Launched in Southampton in 1938, the Shemara was built by Thorneycroft and subsequently commandeered for us as an anti-submarine training ship by the Royal Navy during the Second World War.

After buying the Shemara, the “gracelessly gaudy” Dockers used it for many a lavish party and their guests ranged from King Farouk of Egypt to 45 miners from Yorkshire. During their visit Lady Docker danced for them and afterwards told the press: “We had a riotous day”.

The Shemara was indeed an extravagance and cost the couple an extraordinary £250 per week to maintain at a time when the average wage for men was just £2 per week. Sadly, though, for champagne loving Lady Docker, her days on the Shemara came to an end in 1965 when her husband – ousted from the board of Daimler because of his excessive overuse of company funds for his and his wife’s pleasure – was forced to put the vessel up for sale for £600,000 as his wealth subsided.

Ultimately the desperate Dockers sold the Shemara for just £290,000 to the reclusive property tycoon Harry Hyams . The Centre Point developer used the Shemara on a number of Mediterranean cruises but largely left it languishing in Lowestoft. His crew were said to prepare lunch everyday in case he arrived but he rarely did. Amongst those that subsequently chartered it were the crooked media proprietor Robert Maxwell and in 1970, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor considered buying the boat .

Last refitted in 1992, the Shemara was sold to Sir Charles Dunstone circa 2011 and in 2013 a large-scale refurbishment and refit began on the vessel under the direction of Trimline Superyacht Interiors . Completed earlier this year, the Shemara has once again been returned to her former glory.

Now the pride of sailing aficionado Dunstone’s fleet , the Shemara is once again resplendent. Though Sir Bernard and Lady Docker would be proud of its new look, we somehow doubt the “Chipping Norton set” member and billionaire Dunstone will be following their lead and inviting any miners onboard.

I hope he’s done it up slightly more tastefully than the Dockers, who were ghastly. I went aborad her in Jersey, where they lived for a time. Vulgarity personified …

Why not accept that the Dockers were FUN people, Michael. Unlike the likes of today’s “celebrities”, they added colour to society. Their cars were legendary, they entertained and they didn’t give a stuff about what anyone thought of them. If only we had people like that today. Cheer up man.

Well said Fiona ,I couldn’t agree more with you, why are stuffy people so quick to criticise people like the dockers who were obviously fun to be around ,good for them I say Richard

The Dockers were friends of my parents. Michael: It’s rude to speak ill of the dead and I can tell you they were fun and friendly. Why did you go aboard if you didn’t like them?

Harry if you see this could you contact me, with regards to the Dockers [email protected]

My old pal Rupert Deen was a contemporary at Harrow with Nora Docker’s son Lance Callingham; Rupert lived in a world of great privilege in Beaulieu in the ‘ heyday ‘ of Sir Bernard and Lady Docker; Shemara used to ‘ steam ‘ around from Monte Carlo to Beaulieu on a daily basis, with a uniformed crew of thirty eight, for lunch served at a vast table on the after deck. The Deen family pretty well owned.Beaulieu at that time. Just look at the scale of the deck and picture the scene!

I’m sure that the Dockers had their shortcomings; but they were an inspiration to many as Sir Bernard was a truly ‘ old fashioned ‘ Captain of Industry and my father and grandfather drove Daimler at that time; how much better the than the current crop of egomaniacs that run our vital companies……..what about the Pantone 281 colours that adorned the office flooring of the head office, and paintwork of the fleet of cars at the Royal Bank of Scotland not to mention the logos on their gear sticks….and the xissed the money away…….want me to go on?

Michael, they probably found you tiresome, but why don’t you enlarge on your encounter with the Dockers, as it might help to build a picture as to why you were there……….same for you Harry as you seem a champion of the Dockers

Martin Ellis Jones

Monte Carlo to Beaulieu on a daily basis. Seems a hell of a long cruise for lunch…..and back again…..??!!

I must agree that such a soujourn daily for lunch is somewhat fanciful, and in the realm of delusion. Has the writer not heard of the Bay of Biscay? Too silly….

Norah Docker was as common as muck and that’s hence why the phrase “a Lady Docker” refers to women who are pretentious. She got herself banned from Monaco and died in poverty as she squandered the wealth she acquired through her social climbing. Why would anyone look up to this ridiculous woman?

From the Café de Paris to the Great Western in Paddington. Having made a fascinating journey between the two. Enough said I think……!

Norah Royce Turner (Lady Docker) was definitely born on the wrong side of the ‘tracks’ as far as society was concerned. Therefore as a young girl her dreams of becoming part of the ‘Season’ were well and truly dreams. She used her looks and sexuality to help her on to the social ladder. So she got a job at the Café de Paris as a dance hostess. The rest as they say, is history. But she was not a Lady….!!

There is no accounting for taste.

An ex-boyfirend and life long friend, the late Bill (David) Brown once told me he visited the Dockers on a boat they had (probably The Shemara) and whilst waiting for them appear was given a tour by the butler. Having noticed a drum kit (base drum, snare, cymbals etc) on a raised plinth in the boat’s dining-room, he asked the butler whether there was a resident band. In tones reminiscent of the immortal Jeeves, the butler replied, ‘No, but, when her ladyship has had a few gins, she likes to give a performance’.

That must have been a remarkable sight.

As a member of Deen family we used to go to lunch on the Shemara . There was always the Eton College GP on board , always drunk . Yes we did own a good swathe of Beaulieu but sadly disbursed in the 70’s when Rupert father , mine the eldest and the whole of that generation had died .

I was privileged to have been Norah Dockers personal hairdresser for over ten years, often joining the family on Shemara for long stays in distant ports and enjoying the waterskiing which both Bernard and Nora were very competent at especially after a Bulls blood at 11am. My most memorable trip was after the sale to Harry Hyams the returning from the Pool of London to St Helier, at precisely 1830 the TOWER BRIDGE lifted her roadway as in a salute as the ship manoeuvred under control of a Thames pilot into mid stream her siren echoing through the vacant empty wharf storage buildings in that area at that time we passed under as if in salute to the owner and master and the end of the Docker era.It was a very moving experience up on the bridge for best part of the 24 hour to Jersey. I congratulate Sir Charles Dunstan on his wisdom to purchase and renovate Shemara it may well have been costly but in her previous heyday no expense was spared to keep Shemara in tip top condition, rebuilding a legend and with it the nostalgia will have been challenging i wish him and his family many happy hours of sailing and enjoyment , i have seen the promotional film of the renovation and the new fitted ship bringing back many personal memories of my stays on board .Congratulations to everyone involved.ddada

I worked for Lady Docker´s son Lance and his wife Lynn for 3 years (1977 – 1980) in Mallorca when Lady Docker also lived there. Lance taught me how to water ski and Lady Docker was at the house every weekend. Sadly none of them are no longer with us. Never a dull moment. I still live in Mallorca

I also stayed with Lynne and lance while I was working with friends of theres in 1969, they had 2 children Butch and Craig they would have been about 5 yrs and 1 yr at the time a lovely couple, I still have photos of the children on the little cove near there house

Worked for Lynn, looking after Butch and Craig for just over a year after Lynne worked for her and loved Lady Docker. She was a sweetie and adored her boys.

Hi Lynne, I am researching the life of Norah Docker it is good to read something from somebody who had a nice word to say about her. I’d like to talk to you about your memories, would you agree? Peter Harkness ( [email protected] )

Lance was living with a woman called Debbie,I can`t remember whether they were married or not,on a little yacht moored in the Club de Mar yacht club in Majorca last time I saw him which would have been in about 1994-95..He still had a beautiful little vintage Riva speedboat.We went over to Formentera and he taught me to waterski behind the Riva…..Deborah was like a younger version of Lady Docker,a mother substitute for Lance perhaps–the interior of their yacht was a riot of acrylic zebra and faux leopard fur…is Debbie still alive?……She would be about 70 now I think (2021).

When did Lance die?..And Debbie?

I worked with Lance in a couple of Bars he bought in Plaza Mediterráneo off Plaza Gomila Palma. Mallorca, from 1984 onwards ..

Lance moved to Formentera & Died there in November 1994. I believe his 2nd wife Debbie moved back to the Leeds area with her boyfriend Dennis .. Not heard anything since.

Fascinating. Apart from filling the “society pages” of the newspapers of the day, I wonder if Lady Docker ever did anything useful in her life.

I think the wally Rupert James above, is confusing Beaulieu in Hampshire with Beaulieu in Hampshire.

the idle rich showing the way!

I have a 12ft motor launch that was once a tender to Shamara. Cold moulded ply construction Has original air cooled ARONA single cylinder engine. Needs restoration but would sell for £3500.00

What was it called,did you sell it?

I am sure the new owner of the Shemara would be more than interested … !!

My grandfather, Leslie Charles Williams, was one of the Dockers’ chefs on the Shemara. My Gran told us the parties were always gaudy and extravagant on board.

My uncle Dave was a cook on the Shemara, when the Dockers owned it.

My grandmothers maiden name was Docker and was cousin to Sir Bernard but they never met, so i must be Sir Bernards last surviving relative albeit distant.

I would be interested to here from you [email protected] , i think there maybe a link

Is Lance Callingham still alive?…And Deborah too ?

We were holidaying on Formentera in 1992 and met Lance and Debbie. What fun we had Lance would swim from his boat in the morning berthed in the bay (unpaid mooring fees they say) to start the day with a refreshment. He would swim back to the boat after lunch for a siesta and return early evening for drinks with Debbie and Dennis. Georgina was on school hols and staying at a hotel at the harbour. We went to Ibiza for a day trip the boat Captained by Lance with a vodka in hand. Lunch lasted several hours and we returned to Formentera in the dark. Our children had the use of Lance’s windsurf board and there was a beautiful Italian motor boat (turquoise leather upholstery) in for repair. I recall Lance was missing from the bars one day and Debbie said he had flown to London for the day. He arrived back that night in denim shirt, shorts and sandals – he had been to meet the family banker to top up funds. We did have a few discussions about how best to rob the bank boat that arrived weekly. Then he would put his clothes in a plastic bag, tie it round his neck and jump off the harbour wall and swim out to his boat. This was a holiday I won’t ever forget.

The fabulous Lady Docker, you couldn’t make the story of her life up, the memory of the Dockers and the light they brought to a dull post war Britain. will never be out shone.
