Description:
Wooden Ships Comments on this Laurent Giles Peter Duck Laurent Giles Peter Duck built by Porter and Haylett in 1964. The Peter Duck is well known for its connection to Arthur Ransome, the very first one being designed for the writer by Laurent Giles just after the war. In 1961 the design was revived, altered a little and a total of 38 boats were built up until 1970 by Porter and Haylett Ltd of Wroxham. The Peter Duck was a very popular design and has been a proven and loved coastal cruising boat for many years. The easily handled ketch rig has a manageable sail area for hassle free cruising. The birdpit is large and comfortable and the interior is cavernous for a boat of her length, with excellent headroom and 4 good berths. Her draft at only 3’9″ allows access to many areas off limits to larger yachts, and although it is a not a performance sailing yacht, the Peter Duck is an excellent affordable classic yacht for family coastal cruising. The yacht was put ashore undercover in 2017 for over a year and had a professional refit, including new sections of deck and toe rail, drawn keel bolts and a rebuilt main mast. This work followed a survey inspection in 2017, a copy is available, and all issues raised in the report were dealt with.
