Description

A very appealing Traditional clinker planked gaff cutter. She has the favourable provenance having been built in 1965 by Cyril White of Brightlingsea

to the lines of a John Leather’s Bawley Yacht design…. Long keel, fairly shallow drafted at 3ft 9ins, yet beamy for her deck length.

This gives a roomy accommodation cabin forward,  an open aft cockpit. Tiller steering to a transom hung rudder.
Below she has four berths , two in the main cabin are well over 7ft long. There is 5ft 3ins headroom.

Manual water pump tap, built in stowage for crockery, Heads (sea toilet) in the fore peak.

Generous flat open deck areas.  Her clinker exterior is painted.

She is really a project for someone to take on…..
