Heard 28 Gaff Cutter

Wooden Ships Comments on this Heard 28 Gaff Cutter

Heard 28 gaff cutter built by Gaffers and Luggers of Falmouth in 1989.

A heavy displacement long keeled traditional hull design from Percy Dalton, with lines inspired by the Falmouth working boats but built in GRP.  The Heard range of gaffers have been very popular over the years with the 28’ hull finished in various designs of deck and interior layout.

This yacht has benefitted from several periods of refitting and upgrades giving her an excellent inventory of equipment to make her a competent and comfortable cruising boat.  Autopilot, self tailing winches, bow thruster and boom gallows are all features to help make her an easily handled yacht whether single handing or with a crew.

The bowsprit can be reeved up very easily to reduce the overall length and therefore cost of mooring.

I nice example of this well respected design, fully equipped and very capable.
