Wooden Ships Comments on this 25′ Gaff Cutter. 25’ gaff cutter designed and built by the present owners father in 1953. The builder was a professional shipwright and wanted a family yacht to go cruising with his young family. Originally she was flush decked, but in the 1960’s the doghouse was added to make her a more comfortable cruising boat with 4 young children. The doghouse was fitted with a removable solid back for security and to enclose the birdpit. Built in Pill and cruised around the Bristol Channel, she was designed for drying harbours with shallow draft so she can also take ground easily. The boat is now owned by the one of the sons of the builder, but with advancing years a new owner is sought to take on this interesting boat and continue her story.
