A fine example of a Charles Bailey Jnr racing yacht from the Golden Age of Gaff Riggers. With an interesting history, she has been recently restored to her original rig: gaff, jib, staysail and topsail.
The LWL 40’ gaff cutter was built in 1904, and is the finest example of a Charles Bailey Jnr racing boat of this era and is of historic significance. She has recently undergone an extensive restoration/rebuild back to its original configuration : Gaff, staysail, jib and topsail. She is not only pleasing to the eye, she is also fast and fun to race and has had good success racing in Classic Yacht Assoc regattas. She was a Logan beater when first launched to race against Kotiri and still beats a few Logans today. Can be raced easily with a small crew of 3 or 5, and cruised with only two. Basic but comfortable inside as it was in the day, sleeps up to four. She is in good condition and has a good pedigree with a well documented history.

Has a spacious galley/saloon, two heads and a very workable layout for accommodation below.
Her flybridge too is an appealing place to be, with adequate seating and excellent visibility.
Definitely a lifestyle craft!

Built in steel in 1990 by the acclaimed German yard of Lübbe Voss to the highest international and German ship building standards.
