28′ Steel Gaff Cutter

Wooden Ships Comments on this 28′ Steel Gaff Cutter

Conceived and designed by the current owner, who employed professional naval architect Dave Marsh (formerly of Dixon Yacht Design) to overview and fair the hull lines.

The owner then built the boat between 1994-1997 in Southampton, taking her to the east coast and now to Cornwall, during which time she has been a live aboard and a cruising home.

The internal volume of this yacht is impossible to portray in photos, she is a true tardis and offers and very comfortable and spacious interior for a yacht of only 28’ LOD.  The flush aft deck allows space for an enormous aft cabin giving a large double berth.  Headroom throughout is very good with distinct and separate spaces to the interior, the design of which makes excellent use of the space.

With generous beam and freeboard, yet only 4’ draft, her design is very clever indeed.

The boat presents like a much newer yacht, she is seemingly in superb condition with no signs of corrosion and bleeding, proving she was constructed very well and properly coated from the beginning.

A very clean, tidy and impressive yacht, begging to be taken on longer voyages and adventures over the horizon.  This is a yacht that would make an excellent cruising home and is very obviously a capable cruising boat.

Autumn 2024 survey available soon.
