Curlew is developed from our well liked Pintail and is a true cruising boat, uninfluenced by rating rules. She is stiff , dry and sea-kindly. Her long centre keel and moderately heavy displacement give you dependable performance in a seaway and her tank tested hull form ensures good helm balance. She can have either a centreboard or bilge keels and her shallow draft means you can use the less busy shallow and drying creeks and harbours. She has an unusual and distinctive blend of superb shipwright's woodwork
on a glassfibre hull which gives her real charm and the warmth and appeal
of a traditional yacht. The woodwork is so designed as to minimise its
maintenance.You have a choice
of rigs; either masthead sloop or masthead cutter with a bowsprit. |

| Stowage has not been sacrificed for the sake of more berths and there
are places for things both large and small; and a large oilskin locker
just inside the companionway. The fore cabin has two berths, with personal
lockers and drawers under one and a sail bin under the other. The loo compartment is between the two cabins and shuts off from both. It has a Blake sea toilet, a washbasin and stowage for toiletries. Opposite is a hanging locker for dry clothes. Headroom is 6' 2" in the main cabin and 5' 9" in the loo and the fore cabin. The high quality of the outside woodwork is repeated down below, with solid mahogany joinery nicely balanced by white enamelled bulkheads and panels. Lining covers just about all the glassfibre. Wooden handrails running the length of the cabin add the finishing touch. |
