"Dawning Light II” Gaff cutter, built in 1987 by Benfleet Boat Co. – based on a 1936 Reg Freeman Design With Quality Road Trailer The smell of varnish hits you as soon as you come close to this stunningly beautiful 22ft 6”, traditional (but relatively young) weekender.. Length on Deck 22’ 6” (with bowsprit retracted), LOA 30’, LWL 18’ 6”. Beam 7’ 6”, Draft 3’ 3” Displacement approx. 2.5 Tons (towing weight with trailer estimated in region of 3 tons) The hull is Cold Moulded from four layers of epoxy glued mahogany, while the deck is sheathed and epoxied marine plywood. The keel is lead with silicon bronze bolts with internal ballast comprising of lead and iron. Her lines are based on a 1934 Reg Freeman designed boat which was built by Johnson & Jago, but “Dawning Light II” built by the Benfleet Boat Company in 1987, has the addition of the counter stern which really adds to her elegance. Her heavy construction, high ballast ratio long keel design offers sea-kindly performance with a comfortable motion – and her powerful rig and sail-plan make her a real passage maker at up to 6 knots. Sails & Spars; Mainsail - Windward Sails 1991, Mainsail Cover 1991 No 1 Jib Windward Sails 1991, No 2 Jib Windward Sails 1991, No 3 Jib Windward Sails 1991 Working Staysail Windward Sails 1991, Working Staysail (Cream) Southwest Sails 1998. Large Staysail Windward Sails 1991, Topsail 1991, Mainsail has slab reefing Mainmast and Bowsprit Oregon Pine. Gaff and Boom in Spruce. Standing Rigging Stainless steel. Running Rigging Terylene Engine; Tohatsu 4 stroke 6 hp "Sail Power" outboard with 12v lighting circuit. 2014 model. Mounted in a well.
Trailer; Twin axle galvanised road trailer, serviced in April 2016. Equipment; 15 lb Danforth anchor with 90ft of chain, 4 x fenders, various mooring warps, single burner Origo spirit cooker, Ritchie Explorer Compass, Navico Echo Sounder, Navico VHF Radio, navigation lights, Blakes sea toilet, manual bilge pump, brass clock, 2 x brass oil lamps (electric lights also in cabin), 2 x cockpit seat cushions (as new). Accommodation; Wonderfully cosy and charming cabin – with 2 full berths and seating headroom (4’ 6”) (I can’t in good conscience say that you could squeeze another 2 in, even children, this is a 2 berth boat). The cabin is impeccable – with “as new” upholstery”, and sumptuous varnish and gloss-work throughout. Aft of the cabin on the starboard side is a small chart-table, and the sea toilet is concealed between the berths. Viewing highly recommended – and be ready to fall head-over-heels in love….Trade sale - sold as seen. It is strongly recommended that all prospective purchasers arrange for an independent marine survey prior to purchase.
