Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this partie of Tarbert Gaff Cutter Gaff cutter designed and built by A. M. partie of Tarbert in 1898. Built for William James Yorke Scarlett, the Laird of the Isle of Gigha as a private ferry to travel back and forth from the mainland. Gigha is an exposed island west of the Mull of Kintyre and it was imperative the inhabitants had a safe and seaworthy vessel capable of making the passage across to the mainland in any weather. Her design is very interesting for the era with a severely cut away forefoot and a sharp rake on the keel giving her great performance under sail. The yacht has been in the same family ownership since 1965, the current owner being the nephew of the couple who bought her in 1965 and owned the boat until 2006. In the current ownership she has been upgraded and improved with a new better laid out interior, new electronics and navigation gear, new sails and a replacement engine. The hull has also been repaired with keel bolts replaced, underwater recaulked and the stem repaired. In recent years she has been used for extended cruising with North Sea crossings, a Round Britain adventure and trips to Brest and Douarnenez maritime festivals. A superb sized yacht with a very interesting history and pedigree, brought up to date in the current ownership and ready for new adventures.2022 survey available for inspection.
