Description:
Wooden Ships Comments on this Shetland Zulu Gaff Cutter Shetland Zulu fishing vessel built in Fraserburgh, Scotland in 1924. Originally rigged as a lugger she was used for fishing off the Shetland Isles, heading out for herring mainly. These boats were built strong, tough and very seaworthy to cope with the waters north of Scotland all year round. Between 1950 and 1980 she became a service boat in Lerwick used as a pilot vessel and serving as a mail boat for the island of Foula. In 1980 she was sold into private ownership and converted into a yacht, subsequently receiving a major refit in 1990 with new decks, rig and interior. After being sold to France she was again given a major overhaul with a complete refastening of the hull. She has been in the present ownership since 2007 and has been steadily improved and upgraded in between extensive cruising around northern Europe.
