Wesley O'Brien is the undisputed design king of Lilliput. The designer and self-styled "property scout" specialises in sourcing run-down artisan cottages for clients and then sends his crack construction and craft squad in on their behalf, to resurrect the tiny homes and transform them into something really special. From tired and worn-out properties emerge bright, stylish but ultimately simple and fresh-looking homes, which also don't break the budget.

Day 606. Rigging the fore gaff is nearly identical to the rigging for the main gaff. Once you have the main gaff figured out, this one is easy. Fore Throat Halliard The fore throat halliard is just like the one on the main gaff. It runs between a triple block on the mast and a…
Paul Gartside’s 16′ Gaff Sloop, his Design No. 218, has its roots in SJOGIN, a 22′ traditional double-ended Scandinavian workboat built in the late ’50s. Paul designed a modified version of it, his Koster Boat, Design No. 176, and later developed three smaller versions. The last of them, Design No. 218, is the Gaff Sloop, a 16-footer with a transom stern. When Jonathan Sheldon of Hereford, England, enrolled at the Boat Building Academy (BBA) in Lyme Regis, he decided that this design fulfilled all his criteria for a new boat. He wanted a trailerable, stable, traditional-looking boat that he could sail, row, or motor either singlehanded or with a sizable crew.

Hello all, just wondering if the hive mind could help me with some curiosity I've been having: 1. does nobody cruise on catboats? if not, why not? Is there inherent danger in the rig? I am talking about even small scale camp-cruising. You never hear of catboats doing this. 2. is there a small gaff cutter design out there somewhere that can be rowed for auxillary power? like 16-17-18 feet long? I know Gartside has something small, don't remember the name, but it seems too broad and
Recently, a candidate for the presidency made what was considered to be a major gaff in a visit to a fifth grade classroom.

John Welsford’s Navigator is a 14 1/2′ centerboard beach cruiser and daysailer built in glued-lapstrake plywood. Welsford offers several rigs for this pretty little boat: Bermuda racing sloop, a lug yawl, and a gaff yawl. Being attracted more to traditional boat types and rigs, I chose to build the gaff yawl. The combination of the . . .
What a wonderful small yacht; fully reflecting the character of her designer, whose specialisation in this field was for small yachts at a time when there were a lot of large ones. It is no accident this gaff yawl evokes beauty - for Albert Strange was a well known artist more than capable of converting his excellent sense of shape and form into really practical boats, typically capable of being sailed by one person. CHARMINA in the present day has benefitted moreover from long ownership by a professional rigger with evident positive consequences for the rig she now carries. This simple yawl is indeed charm personified yet is fully functional with practicality, good handling and is unspoilt to boot.
PANACEA's design was close to Ed Burnett’s heart: a proposal for his father; partly the result of deep experience with his own 23 ft Harrison Butler gaff cutter aboard which he lived as a student of yacht design, and regularly sailed between Southampton and Falmouth. Add Ed’s earlier traditional boatbuilding experience with Gannon & Benjamin on Martha’s Vineyard, his reputation for attention to detail and the execution of incredibly precise drawings, and it’s easy to understand what a pleasure PANACEA was to commission, and to build, and then to enjoy afloat. Now all the provenance and pleasure and beauty of the lightly used, still young PANACEA is available to her next owner at significantly less than new build cost.
