18ft Sea Otter, a double ended canoe, Gaff Yawl built by Master Boatbuilders, David Moss of Skippool River Wyre, Lancashire. A wooden stripped plank hull, raised fore-deck version. An open aft self draining cockpit. Wooden washboards in her companionway. She has an encapsulated lead ballast keel with a steel lifting centreboard, when lowered gives her a 3ft 4ins draft.
Built and designed with the utmost attention, all of her fixtures and fittings have a specific use and purpose. She carries a Gaff Rig 210sq.ft. of sail. Found to be a very stiff boat, with a generous freeboard a delight to handle. A new inboard engine installed in 2018.
Vessel to be sold with a twin axle Road Trailer, and 8ft dinghy tender.
She presently sits ashore and under wraps for the Winter.
Potential of a deep water mooring available on the River Stour, Essex.
