Wooden Ships Comments on this Penzance Dandy lugger
One of the most eye catching yachts in the UK without a doubt, these working boats were designed purely for fishing, but obviously with a keen eye on the aesthetics as well. Completely rebuilt in previous ownership she is now a sound and ready boat, finished as she should be in a very traditional way with not a speck or varnish to be seen, instead using oils and Stockholm tar. She has a very handy rig with the gaff main making her an easy boat to sail, and the coachroof gives good standing headroom below decks in the saloon area. A real gem of a boat, lusted after by many everywhere she goes.
Construction
Hull Iroko planking on heavy sawn oak frames. Grown oak floors. Internal lead ballast. The hull was largely rebuilt by a previous owner in a job that was completed in 1988. This included all new planking, galvanised dump nail fastenings and many new frames as required.
Decks and cockpit Straight laid quarter sawn pine decks screw fasted to solid oak deck beams. Decks caulked and payed with pitch. Flush deck with a central hatch over the saloon to increase headroom. Forehatch and aft hatch for access into either end of the boat. Bulwarks all round with a heavy capping rail
Superstructure Central low profile hatch with Iroko coamings and a straight laid pine coachroof deck on oak deck beams. Bronze portholes in the coamings with an offset sliding entrance hatch to starboard.
