Clasic for sale

Not sure if this is a gaffer or a hooker or something else, certainly a working boat. 

She's similar to Pettifox I photographed in Fowey last year, which in turn is neither a Polperro Gaffer, or a Plymouth Hooker but a recent replica of a Breton Cameret Crabber (langoustier) to a design by Francois Vivier .


Whatever she is the rig is a towering gaff with the ability to set a topsail above

And the mid section profile is almost plank on edge like, vertical stem and slight angle to the rudder and stern give her a long waterline.  She was advertised for sale with  Jeremy Rogers in Lymington.
