Wooden Ships Comments on this Andrew Wolstenholme Coot Known as a Coot, designed by Andrew Wolstenholme and built by the first owner in 2015. Evidently a very well built boat by an enthusiastic and skilled amateur. The Coot has a very pretty clinker hull of traditional appearance with a near-vertical stem filling out amidships to firm, round bilges before tucking up to a sweet little transom. The Cat rig balances beautifully for very enjoyable single handed sailing, however there is enough space, stability and buoyancy to carry crew. She has 2 rowing positions and due to the placing of the mast, the bow rower can work the oars with the mast still in place, a small feature making this a very practical family boat for messing about on the water. Complete with a heavy duty cover and combination piggy back road trailer and launching trolley, this is a complete package in tidy condition and ready to tow away.
