Description

Wooden Ships Comments on this 6 meter rule Gaff Cutter

Designed and built by A.E. Stowe of Shoreham in 1905 to the early 6 metre rule.

She has been in the present family ownership for 50 years in which time she has had 3 major refits, most recently in 2017 after the owner passed away and his family took the boat on and undertook a professional refit to get her back into good sound condition.

She was stripped back inside and out with repairs to the hull and decks where necessary and finished with a complete cosmetic overhaul top to bottom then a new Noble Spars mast was fitted.

She is a very beautiful and interesting yacht, a sailors boat with superb performance in the right conditions and very eye catching looks.  She does not pretend to be a spacious family cruising yacht but offers enough comforts below decks for weekends away and regatta racing.  A very exciting yacht in nice condition that will grab the headlines everywhere she goes.
