30 Ft Gaff Cutter, Design #109

This is a new version of an earlier design based on the Falmouth working boat model. It is a powerful go-anywhere boat with full headroom and a three berth layout with optional double. It is also a very simple boat to build with easy lines and straightforward construction detail. An eminently buildable and affordable cruising sailboat.
