Itchen Ferry Gaff Cutter
£SOLD
Designed by the great Daniel 'King Dan' Hatcher and built in 1890, Freda has had an illustrious career both fishing in the Solent and racing in the summer regattas. Her first 2 owners were great victorian big yacht captains, well known for reaping hoards of trophies on their larger yachts, and used Freda for Solent racing to hone their skills. Unlike many other Itchen Ferry boats, she has retained much of her original charm and still has her original half decked layout with the lower fish deck aft. Finished to working boat standards with tarred rigging and painted decks, she is a historically significant little vessel with a wicked turn of speed.
