Skanner 19, Gaff Rig Cutter, Very Pretty Boat. Grp Hull

Very pretty 19" Gaff rig cutter with Columbian pine mast and spars and a beautiful canoe stern. This boat is lying at Burnham on Crouch at present but I would be happy to sail it around the coast to Kent, Essex or the East Coast if preferred. I'm loath to part with my pride and joy but another project beckons. This is a lovely little ship with the sea-kindliness and motion you'd expect from a solidly built and heavy keeled gaffer. She is not supplied with a trailer although I would be happy to assist with logistics and practicalities if requiring to transport away from the East Coast.Double-ended long keeler - very sea kindly and heavily built.Completely rebuilt over the past 4 years by the current owner who is reluctantly selling to move onto a larger boat for the young family.Standing and running rigging replaced 2013.New stainless tabernacle, bow roller/sprit fitting and bow sprit end fitting beautifully manufactured.
