Broker's Comments
Her hull form is similar to a Morton Explorer , her traditional gaff rig echoes a Drascombe; but she's neither of these!
Unlike the Drascombe both her masts are unstayed, she's a ketch not a yawl, and whilst her mains'l is loose- footed her mizzen is boomed!
Interesting and pretty she certainly is and with her sparkling paint job, tan sails and jaunty bow-sprit she's guaranteed to win admiring glances when you tie her up at that riverside pub. She comes on a good road trailer which should tow well behind any family saloon, though you might think that she was just perfect for the Cleddau, and never get further than the Cresselly Arms at Creswell Quay! Her asking price is half what you would pay for an equivalent Drascombe (and as a Drascombe owner myself I'd say she would provide every bit as much enjoyment) but her owner will consider a close offer. She has been refurbished over the winter and is ready for the coming season.
