Classic Steel Gaff Cutter for sale in Sweden United Kingdom

Wooden Ships Comments on this Steel Gaff Cutter

The owner of this fine vessel conceived an idea of building a new gaff cutter based on the Lowestoft sailing trawlers.

Mylne Classic Yacht Design were engaged to produce the design and they took inspiration from the smaller of the Lowestoft sailing drifters.

The hull was built by Stal Komplex, Gdynia, Poland. The hull completed the RCD assessment and is CE approved to Category C for 15 persons.

Launched in 2017.

The interior fit out has been completed by the owner and since her launch she has been cruised around the Baltic and up to Norway.

A very strong and capable boat with a professionally built hull and excellent rig. The interior is comfortable and in use, but could be altered to suit a new owner and a new vessel purpose if desired.
