Off Center Harbor's Remarks

Embedded in this listing is the fact that marine surveyor Giffy Full once owned this Frank Loud-designed-and-built cutter. This is significant because Full has long been regarded as one of the most knowledgeable wooden boat authorities in the world. This, in and of itself, guarantees that HALF MOON was built right to begin with and deserves further investigation if this is the kind of boat you’re after.

Construction
