Description:
Wooden Ships Comments on this 28′ Gaff Cutter Built by well known Plymouth boatbuilder Chris Rees in 1992 to his own design, an exceptionally robust construction for blue water sailing. Rees built Pete Goss’ boat Spirit of Mystery which he sailed to Australia. The owner has a newspaper article in which Goss states meeting Chris Reece “was a match made in heaven”. Rees sailed this boat down to NW Africa via the Azores and later across the Atlantic, up to Nova Scotia and Greenland before returning to UK. The owner has photos of her dated 1997 in Greenland against a background of rocky mountains and icebergs. Bought by the present owner in 2006 having retired from a life of rebuilding and tuning pianos for Steinway. With only one owner between him and the builder, and after several years living on board the owner started on a prolonged refit but now time and health have caught up with him and it is time to pass her on to new energy and enthusiasm. Now close to completion, a new owner will have the benefit of a proven, blue water yacht which with even amateur knowledge and some investment of time and money will be an exceptional cruising yacht at a very sensible budget. All structural hull work appears to be completed. The greater amount of work left to complete is the rig and she needs a suit of sails. This is not a yacht in the classic manner of elegant counters, scrubbed teak decks and acres of perfect varnish but an excellent example of a practical, functional and very capable yacht without being excessively large. At this price Sarah Louise is a good buy to a new owner with ambitions for blue water sailing on a budget. Length on Deck 28’Beam 8’Draft 4’6” Construction Every aspect in the construction of this yacht is designed for strength without excessive weight. 12mm marine ply with double chine and a thick grp sheathing for additional strength as part of the original construction makes for an immensely robust hull. Varnished pine rubbing. Still available at ListedBuy!
