Wooden Ships Comments on this Luke Powell Gaff Cutter Designed and built by Luke Powell, launched in 2012 for the present owners. Freja was the eighth cutter built by Luke. She was designed from the beginning as a private yacht, not for charter, and has been meticulously maintained by her diligent owners ever since. Each winter the boat is stripped down and fully covered, every spring she is painted, varnished and cleaned, machinery and rigging serviced and the boat generally kept up to an exacting standard. Since she was launched, Freja has sailed around 25,000Nm, much of it with just the husband and wife owners aboard. She has proved to be an easily handled boat and is particularly fast in light airs. The owners have pushed the boat and know her ways extremely well, they have much knowledge about the yacht which will be passed on as much as possible to her new owners. She is a joy to sail, handles heavy weather with ease and has been a very safe and comfortable cruising boat. A beautiful looking yacht in superb condition ready for a new chapter. She is currently berthed in Sweden but the owners would sale her back to the UK for a new owner. If brought back to the UK by the current owners there will be no need t pay VAT upon arrival. If sold to an EU buyer VAT will not be charged on the sale price.
