Centreboard Bermudan Cutter

Wooden Ships Comments on this Centreboard Bermudan Cutter

Built by E. Williams of Cowes, reputedly in 1908.

Found in a poor state by a local shipwright in Chichester Harbour, the boat was refitted and bought by the current owner after Covid.  Since then she has been kept on a drying mud mooring in Chichester Harbour and used for local sailing, she has been a wonderful boat for her owner, pottering about the harbour and visiting the various pubs in the area.

She has the benefit of being shallow draft with a dagger board so she can access shallow creeks with ease.  She can also take the ground meaning cheaper drying moorings are accessible to her, reducing annual running costs.

The boat has been used with a heavy duty yard trailer but could easily be towed on the road with a suitable road trailer, again giving the option to reduce annual running costs with the ability to take the boat and store for free in winter months.

A pretty little boat with 2 berths to spend nights aboard and explore shallow areas, a perfect weekend camping and exploring boat.
