Wooden Ships Comments on this Beer lugger
Built by Paul Mears of Seaton in 2008 to a traditional Beer lugger design. The Beer luggers have been used as local fishing boats for many years, launched and retrieved from the beach with large winches and wooden rollers. Because of this they are built very robustly and have a very conspicuous shape to the hull with high freeboard, a sharp turn to the bilge for stability and bilge keels to keep them upright on the beach.
This is a very stable and spacious boat for her size with capability to be sailed or motored. The cosmetics are all in very tidy condition with new varnish and antifoul this summer.
She comes with a galvanised single axle braked road trailer and all over cover.
Length on Deck 16’5”
Beam 6’10”
Draft 2’

Fore and aft thwarts are set deep in the hull giving good shelter to the occupants.
