This distinctive yacht developed frm the Skerry Cruiser type was designed in the 1930?s. A class grew up in Aldeburgh and St Mawes but the design really came to fame after Adlard Coles won the 1950 Trans-Atlantic Race in the slightly larger (32?) Cohoe. The Tumlare has a slim, slippery hull with elongated forward sections and the distinctive canoe stern with stern-hung rudder. She has a high aspect fractional Bermudian rig with the fore-stay set well inboard from the stemhead. This example was rebuilt by Richard Riggs in 2001 in Suffolk. In the rebuild the deck was replaced entirely including deck beams. Damaged frames were repaired, new stern post, new garboards, new cabin top and cock-pit. In present ownership further work was done by boat builder Bernie Yendle in Cornwall between 2005 and 2008 Planked in Oregon pine all copper fastened to steam bent oak timbers with clenched copper nails. In the most recent Cornish refit all doubled timbers were replaced and new partial intermediate timbers added for additional strength. The underwater seams were splined. Heavy timber floors. The 4 midships floors have additional laminations carrying the arms well up the hull sides. Lead ballast keel with phosphor bronze keel bolts. 2 bolts were replaced in the most recent refit. The hull has an exceptionally fair finish. The deck was new in the 2005 refit in painted marine ply run out to the deck edge with a varnished ¼? mahogany coverboard recessed into the outer edge and varnished mahogany king plank to give a very attractive finish.

The cock-pit coamings are capped in tufnol strip. Fixed oval window each side in the cabin coach-roof. Laminated coach-roof deck beams in different coloured wood.
