26 ft Gaff Cutter, Design #116a

A new version of #116 with a more traditional flavour. Construction is carvel on bent frames with a solid laid deck. Hull beam is increased to 9 ft 6 in and the outside ballast reduced slightly to 4200 lbs. The three berth layout is identical to #116 but the extra beam will make this feel like a much bigger boat. A perfect small cruiser and great fun to build.
