FALMOUTH WORKING BOAT |
| Description |
The Cygnus Gaffer 29 is based on the Falmouth Working Boat which are traditional gaff cutters, principally designed and built for work. Today, the gaffers still earn their living dredging for oysters under sail, as powered vessels are forbidden by law. The working boat rig has evolved over the decades, resulting in the most efficient and practical rig for such work. The large mainsail is balanced by the jib set well forward on the bowsprit.
The hull shape, although moulded in GRP, is
identical to the classic design and features a vertical stem with fine entry, a long keel providing good lateral resistance and sailing performance, and a wine glass transom.
Derived from the working boat is the cruising version with a reduced sail area and easy-to-handle gaff rig. The cruiser encompasses all the features of her working sister but with comfortable accommodation for up to five crew. The coach roof permits full standing headroom in the main saloon and galley area. An auxiliary engine can be fitted
neatly below the self draining cockpit. A flush
foredeck and wide side decks make for safe family cruising.
A comfortable and safe cruising yacht with a sound pedigree built by craftsmen for discerning sailors. Hulls, part completed kits and sail-away versions are available. Changes in. internal design and rig can be accommodated upon request.Click here to view a detailed Specification Specs below are for the CRUISING Version please contact us for the racing specifications
