Gartside 10.3 Metre Gaff Cutter #207
Description
The 10.3 Metre Gaff Cutter Design #207 is a classic 34-foot transom-sterned sailing yacht designed by Paul Gartside for traditional cruising enthusiasts seeking a balance of elegance, seaworthiness, and comfort. Introduced as an extension of Gartside's popular cutter series, it offers generous headroom (over 6 ft) and a roomy interior layout suitable for a couple or small family on extended voyages. The design prioritizes low-maintenance construction with modern glued techniques while evoking the charm of early 20th-century workboats. It's responsive under sail in moderate conditions, with a shoal draft option for coastal exploration, and includes space for an inboard diesel auxiliary. Ideal for builders with lofting experience, it's a rewarding project blending heritage aesthetics with practical performance.
