Wooden Ships Comments on this Sennen Cove Lugger
Built by the Falmouth Marine School in 2004, one of a number of these boats built by students under the supervision of professional shipwrights.
The design is a replica of a Sennen Cove crabber from 1892 which means she is a solid, stable and capable sea boat. The original working boats fished for crab and lobster off Lands End with trips to the Isles of Scilly in fair weather, this was a harsh environment and these boats were designed and built to withstand everything the sea could throw at them.
With inboard engines, a 2 mast lug rig and a large open deck she is a versatile little vessel. Although heavy and solid, the boat is light enough to be towed on the road behind a suitably sized vehicle.
In present ownership she has had a thorough refit between 2019 and now, including an engine overhaul and new gearbox, new sole boards and bearers, a new foremast, new wiring and a complete cosmetic refit. She is now in smart and solid condition, ready to be sailed.
