Harry Feltham Gaff Cutter

Wooden Ships Comments on this Harry Feltham Gaff Cutter

Designed and built by Harry Feltham in 1930.

Major rebuild in previous ownership around 2000.  This involved nearly 50% new planking, new deck and deck beams, new coachroof and complete new cockpit.  Floors across the centreline replaced in laminated timber to remove issue of corroding metal straps.

The vessel was then sadly damaged by fire after a nearby boat caught alight.  The damage was fairly superficial and confined to just one side.  Purchased by the current shipwright owner, she was repaired to a high standard, including replacement of all the keel bolts using proper wrought iron.

4 berths with good headroom in a very comfortable interior.  Nicely fitted out with plenty of light, this is a comfortable yacht to be aboard.  The rig is set up for short handed sailing, including furling headsails and self tailing winches.

A smart yacht that is very sensibly priced.  2020 survey report.
