Wooden Ships Comments on this 19′ Roger Dongray Golant Gaffer
19’ Golant Gaffer built by the current owner to the well known Roger Dongray plans. The boat was completed in 2017 but sails and rig were not fitted until 2021.
The boat has only been used a few times, all on fresh water lakes and is presented in very smart condition.
She comes with a custom made Snipe road trailer that is fitted out for easy launch and retrieval on a slipway. The mast is deck stepped and can be raised by hand meaning this boat can be launched and sailed completely independent from boat yards and associated costs.
The Golant Gaffer is a popular design with traditional lines and rig, but built from modern wood/epoxy strip plank methods which make for a low maintenance and tough hull.
A nice example in nearly new condition and complete with an excellent road trailer.
Length on Deck 18’9”
