Murray Peterson Gaff Schooner

Wooden Ships Comments on this Murray Peterson Gaff Schooner

Murray Peterson schooner professionally built in Fowey in 1981 by A.H Watty, the last boat built by this yard.

Run as a private yacht and as a charter vessel at different times, she has done at least 6 Atlantic crossings and has raced in classic events across Europe, the Caribbean and up to Nova Scotia.  More recently in the previous ownership she was been based on the East coast with a trip to Norway then round Britain taking in the Hebrides and the West coast.

She has proved to be a very capable yacht even in severe weather conditions and is easily sailed by a small crew, a previous owner cruised with just husband and wife on many occasions.  With 8 berths in total however she has the space for a large compliment of hands if required for adventures further afield.

Sadly neglected in present ownership and laid up on the hard.  Being offered for sale at this reduced price to reflect the work required. Professional survey carried out in December 2024, copy available.
