Bermudian cutter                   Length on deck                                      28’6” Lwl                                                        25’6” Beam                                                    8’7” Draft                                                      4’9” + bowsprit                                             36’6” Tonnage                                                8 TM   Built by Primmer and Snook of Bursledon on the Hamble River, Hampshire, 1936. Early Lloyds lists note her as being a Harrison Butler design and she certainly bears close to resemblance to many of the doctor’s yachts.   Long keel, transom stern with gentle tumble-home, transom-hung rudder and a nicely curved stem. The sheer is emphasised by a heavy varnished teak rubbing strake round the deck edge with a toe rail above and a second running strake 6” below.   Planked in 1” pitch-pine, fastened with copper nails and roves to steamed Canadian rock elm timbers on an oak back-bone. The hull is very fair and tight, painted with white enamel and the band between upper and lower rubbing strakes is picked out in yellow. Fixed port hole each side forward gives light to the fore cabin. Long external lead ballast keel. Bronze bolts, last checked 1992. Oak floors. Interestingly, the floors are made in twin over-lapping futtocks to give a robust centre-line structure. Varnished mahogany coach-roof coamings with 3 bronze opening port holes each side. The coach-roof is narrow, typical of Harrison Butler designs leaving generous, clear side decks and the coamings extend aft to form the cock-pit coamings. The coach-roof deck is in T&G pine boards, sheathed externally and trimmed in teak beading round the edges. A traditional varnished mahogany sky-light with twin opening lights gives light and ventilation to the cabin, fitted new about 20 years ago. Varnished teak sliding hatch and wash-board to the cabin entrance, slightly off-set to stbd.   Comfortable cock-pit with varnished teak coamings, well sheltered by an excellent spray-hood, varnished lids over the deep seat lockers either side and a bridge deck across t
