Wooden Ships Comments on this Cornish Rowing Punt

Cornish rowing punt of unknown origin. Not as fast or light as the racing punts, but with more beam and displacement she is noticeably more stable and therefore a more practical punt.

Owned by a shipwright she has had various new planks and frames very recently and is basically a sound and solid boat.

Length 15’

Beam 4’8”
