Broker's Comments
Boatshed Wales are delighted to present for sale "Henrietta," a beautiful GRP-hulled Essex Gaff Cutter. Built in 1993, she boasts Iroko decks with elegantly crafted bulwarks, capping rails, and rubbing strakes. Her classic design features graceful sweeping lines, a tapered stern, and a striking sheer bow, perfectly capturing the timeless charm of a traditional yacht.
"Henrietta" is currently stored ashore, fully protected by a custom-fitted canvas cover that shields the mast, decks, and partially the topsides, ensuring the preservation of her condition.
Rigged as a gaff cutter, she comes with an extensive sail wardrobe. While the original sails remain, they are still in fine condition. The mast and standing rigging have been inspected and maintained annually. Her solid, well-sealed decks reflect the care and attention given to her upkeep.
Powered by a dependable Yanmar GM10, the well maintained engine offers reliable propulsion, ideal for berthing and mooring.
A truly classic yacht in every respect, "Henrietta" stands out for her beauty and delivers a remarkable sailing experience.
