Thank you for that tour through the world of the ‘Pilot Cutter’. A more handsome sail I have never seen. I went back on Tom Culiffe’s site to see those Great Herring vessels that the ‘Clearances Highlanders’ built as well. There is so much more to lean than I ever expected from your site. Thank you from this old sailor!!
Peter Gossell says:
Inspiring, Thanks

Nice to see drone photography, the outer jib on a hankless furler and a fire blanket beside the sink in case of a stove flareup.
Clint Chase says:
Been seeing this one on my IG but not yet on the water – I will be trying to get out on her next year – she is one of the most beautiful boats I have seen in Maine.
