1978 Heard 23 Gaffers and Luggers - Mylor Heard 23 - Falmouth Working Boat
Specifications
Description
"Living relics from a byegone age, the Falmouth Working Boats make an impressive sight, and there can be few who are not inspired by the beauty of these powerful gaff-rigged cutters under sail. Outwardly, little has changed in nearly 200 years, their existence being a direct result of the local harbour byelaws prohibiting the dredging of oysters by any mechanical means. Working under sail and oar during the winter months from October to March, these unique boats have survived to become the last of their kind in Europe. The size of the working fleet has fluctuated over the years, its fortunes directly related to the health of the delicate oysters which are ever prey to disease and pollution.The term ‘Falmouth Working Boat’ is fairly recent and mainly applies now to the boats that race during the summer months." ** Copyright © 2023 Falmouth Working Boats Association
