Tamarisk 24 gaff cutter |
Brief details |
Builder |
Various, including North Sea Craft, Bangor Shipyard,
Cuttriss Boats, Cygnus Marine and North Cornwall Marine |
The Tamarisk 24 was
designed by David Cannell as a modern GRP gaff cutter, on traditional
lines. The moulds appeared to have travelled extensively, as you
find them with various builders named as moulders. Most
were home completed, so layouts vary, as does the standard of finish.
The hulls were strongly built, and the boats sail well. |

Various sizes of Tamarisks have been built, ranging from
the smallest, the Tamarisk
19, through a 22-footer, to 24-footers such as this.
There were also Tamarisk 29s, based on a Falmouth working
boat hull form, and finally a 41 foot schooner. Most of
the smaller designs are based broadly on the lines of 19th
century fishing smacks, and all are tough, moderately heavy
and attractive small yachts.
On the Tamarisk 24s, the hulls are GRP, with deck and
coachroof in marine ply.
