Built by the Falmouth
Marine School in 2004, one of a number of these boats built by students under
the supervision of professional shipwrights. The design was taken from
traditional Cornish fishing boats which means she is a solid, stable and capable
sea boat. They were fitted with engines from new which means they are
very versatile. Although heavy and solid, the boat is light enough to
carry on a trailer and tow behind a vehicle.
