Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 44 extra photos of this John Hesp 27' Gaff Cutter .
This is a thoroughly modern boat built using modern construction methods but with timeless lines based on traditional West Country gaff cutters.

The current owner has added new sails, a new engine, electronics & canvesses. She is ready to go sailing and whoever next owns this beauty will have trouble keeping away from those wonderful classic sailing events.

She may not have all the space below of a modern yacht but if that is your need then look elsewhere.

This yacht is a passport to classic boat sailing with the knowledge that you can sleep at night without the worries of a wooden hull.

She is easily sailed by two crew.

Currently lying in Penzance.
