| Here it is at last, the pilot cutter built in GRP offering traditional gaff rigged sailing with lower maintenance and insurance costs. |
| If you are planning to charter or go cruising this could be the boat for you. The lines and features of this vessel have been carefully researched and follow the best qualities of these famous sea going cutters. She has a fine entry with traditional plumb stem. A long straight keel keeps her on a steady course and runs to 8'6" draft at the stern. She lifts beautifully with her 14'3" beam, which helps to make spacious cabin space below decks. The beam runs back to a wonderfully fine exit and elegant counter stern. |
| She is 42' on the waterline and 49'3" on deck. Her solid bulwarks and stanchions give a pleasant feeling of security on deck and the huge area allows for comfortable sailing. |
| For those who might wish to race in regattas, sailing performance has been a top priority for the builders. To that end a top of the range Gori three-bladed folding propeller has been fitted in a purpose built prop tunnel. Gori advertise an 11% increase in efficiency in forward and reverse, a real bonus for handling under power. |
| Although the present owner has opted for modern rigging and fully battened sails to maintain maximum windward performance and low maintenance, choice will always remain with the customer. |
| The beautiful lines and appearance of this pilot cutter have evolved from very practical necessities. Two men, often a man and boy, handled these vessels in very heavy weather for weeks at sea under sail alone and often hove to in the Atlantic gales. |
| The builders of this pilot cutter (based
in Falmouth in Cornwall, UK) can offer customers a vessel in
various stages of completion right up to the sail away version.
