Wooden Ships
The Peter Brett designed Dee 25 was his forerunner to the famous Riva range of yachts, proved by several notable inclusions in offshore yacht races including the Fastnet where the design performed exceptionally well even in very adverse conditions.This yacht has been in present ownership for many years and has had significant refit work carried out. However very recently some rot was discovered in the topside planking and the owner has decided he cannot continue with the boat as he does not have the time or inclination to get involved in another big period of refit work. The boat is being offered for £1000. She is currently stored in a shed at a boatyard near Dartmouth, the cost of storage is £320/month. She can remain here and be worked on once sold, or can be taken away on a lorry to a new owners choice of destination.The work will involve replacing several shifts of planking including most of the sheerstrake each side, a section of beamshelf midships and addressing some areas of rotten plywood subdeck on the outer edges of the deck. Photos in the post taken recently of the areas that have been uncovered. The boat has an excellent Sole diesel engine, good rig and a smart interior, she is well worth saving and it would be a shame to see her broken up.Any sale will need to be completed quickly and the price is non-negotiable. below is a link to her current advert with full specification and more photos.woodenships.co.uk/sailing-yacht/peter-brett-dee-25/ ...

Wooden Ships Comments on this Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter Margeurite

Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter built by Rowles of Pill near Bristol in 1893.

The build was commissioned by pilot Frank Trott at a cost of £500, she went on to be a very successful pilot boat and regatta winner in the annual pilot cutter races around the Bristol Channel.

In 1900 she became known as the ‘boat with the new boom’ after she was fitted with the first example of the famous Appledore roller reefing system which went on to become commonplace on all pilot cutters, enabling the mainsail to be reefed easily even in heavy weather.  She still sports her original Appledore gear on the boom, overhauled and improved with grease nipples to enable regular greasing of the moving parts.

After retiring from her working life, she became a private yacht and then charter yacht, eventually ending up in the Caribbean as a charter vessel.  She was sold here and moved to Covey Island Boatworks in Nova Scotia where a major rebuild commenced in the 1990’s involving all new frames and planking, new deck and refitted rig and interior.

She was sold in 2000 to the current owners, experienced wooden boat custodians and sailors, who have cruised her across the Atlantic and back, around Britain and taken part in numerous classic yacht regattas and events.  She is a regular fixture around the West country coast spending recent years between Falmouth, the Scillies and Padstow.

One of the largest of the surviving original Pilot Cutters, a well respected and admired yacht with a great pedigree and history.  She stands apart from many of the pilot cutters with her large and comfortable cockpit which is ideal for cruising, and her spacious homely interior which has far better headroom than most of her contemporaries.
