The lines of this small cutter are based on a south coast fishing vessel of the 1850s. It is a close relative of Design #101, the Itchen Ferry Cutter.

Construction is traditional throughout with carvel planking on steam bent frames, copper fastened. With its simple decked layout and small inboard auxiliary, this will be a delightful family daysailer.
