Sailboat : classic cutter (gaffsail)
MERLIN
Cockwells
- 14.63m
48' 0"ft
Merlin is based on the lines of an original pilot cutter Peggy but is three feet longer, giving a bigger saloon and space for a workshop.
Merlin took almost two years to build. The construction of the hull followed traditional methods, with an oak frame and larch planking, all cut from the round in the former Cockwells yard at Ponsharden, on the edge of Falmouth.
The bronze fittings were cast especially for the boat and all fittings and hardware are of the highest quality. The build was featured over seven monthly issues of Classic Boat Magazine in 2010.
Merlin’s owner, Lance Whitehead uses her for corporate and private charter, wildlife expeditions and some charitable work. They are based in the UK with trips to Brittany, the Baltic and farther afield for some specific expeditions.
