Ed Burnett Gaff Cutter

Wooden Ships Comments on this Ed Burnett Gaff Cutter

Designed by Ed Burnett and built by MB Yachts, Dorset in 2001.  Burnett & Irens design No.010.

She is the 3^rd yacht built to this now legendary Burnett design, constructed by one of the best wood-epoxy boat builders in the UK, Martyn Brake.  This design has been used for numerous long distance voyages, as well as classic regatta racing and family cruising showing off the clever blend of traditional lines, modern construction methods and design tweaks to create a yacht that performs perfectly in the modern world.

Inspired by the traditional working boats, her elegant lines were carefully crafted to create a boat that feels and sails like a larger yacht, with a large cockpit, good interior space an excellent performance.

Upgraded by her current owner with new Awlgrip paint systems, new sails and improved electrics.  The boat is now absolutely ready for her new custodian to take the helm and either head off over the horizon or join the classic regatta circuit.
