Classic wooden gaff cutter for sale

Designed by J Pain Clark and built by Harry King and sons in 1911. With only 5 owners over the years, she has mostly been based on the east coast of the UK and used for local cruising and racing. She took part in the Fastnet Race in the 1950's for which a self draining cockpit was fitted. Originally fitted with a gaff sloop rig, she was converted to a bernudan sloop in 1924 and then changed again to a gaff cutter in 2010 by the current owner. In the present ownership she had a major refit between 2010 and 2013 with a new teak deck, complete new rig, refastened hull and many new frames. This is a very elegant yacht retaining many original features including her stunning cockpit, hatch and skylight arrangement. A competitive boat for classic regatta racing.
