Wooden Ships Comments on this Gaff Cutter Yacht

The boat was built for the Ex-Premier of Monaco, Pierre Malvy from the design of Servain  Boatyard, Normandy, who built the original French Pilot Cutters in the 19th century.

After several owners, the present owner bought her in 2007 and has since carried out renovations as described below.   She was used as a Classic Regatta yacht for most of her life and is now in superb condition and ready for a new owner.
