11' Nance St. Ives Sailing Punt (2015) - MAIA

Winner of the prettiest boat (small class) at Falmouth Classics 2016, this 11ft 6ins knockabout for sail and oar is built traditionally to withstand the challenging conditions of a drying harbour. Rigged with a loose-footed standing lug on an unstayed mast, she is dry, stable and forgiving. She is simplicity itself. There’s no centreboard to weaken the hull and the minimum of moving parts and clutter. Despite this, she is surprisingly weatherly (winning her class at Looe Lugger Regatta 2015) and a pleasure to row and scull.
