Custom-Boats 26' Gaff Cutter for sale in Birdham United Kingdom

Black Lady is a Gaff Cutter, built by Birdham Pool Marina in 1947 (reg 1948) and designed by MG Duff. This special boat is still moored here in Birdham Pool and offered for sale by us as onsite Brokers at Birdham. She has a BETA 20hp diesel engine that was fitted in 2016 and has had little use since. She offers a spacious main cabin with port and starboard bench seating and a Faversham coal stove. Forward is a heads compartment with manual toilet and V berth. A really special boat that has had plenty of attention in recent years and is ready to go. Motivated seller who has already purchased a larger fibreglass boat and is keen not to be paying two lots of moorings. Available to view by appointment.
