wooden ships comments on this Breton crabbing lugger
Breton crabbing lugger built to the traditional design in 1980 for an English gentleman. Typical Breton lines, built by Monsieur Marcel Heltergouarch of Concarneau. Used around the south coast of the UK as a private pleasure boat and more recently the boat has been used to fish in the traditional way with outrigger poles. Major refit completed in 2010 with photos and survey available.
Open decked launch type boat with transom stern and raked stem. Water tight deck with high bulwark all round and a decent amount of freeboard making her seaworthy and suitable for commercial coding. The boat has considerable beam for her length and a sharp turn to the bilge midships giving her the enormous amount of inherent stability that was required from these tough little working boats.
Planked in 7/8” mahogany, fastened with galvanised boat nails to heavy 2”x 1.5” sawn French oak frames at 14” centres.
Some areas of decayed planking replaced 2014.

Two water tight hatches in the deck give access to the engine and the forward bilge, used as a storage locker. Watertight bulkhead between the forward storage space and aft engine space. New solar ventilation fans installed 2014.
Thwarts across the transom and midships give suitable seating space while leaving the deck open enough to enable to crew to move safely around and work the boat.

Two masted lug rig with bumpkin and bowsprit. Main mast set in a galvanised tabernacle bolted to the deck forward of the hatch allows it to be dropped by one person.
