LULWORTH



When trying to describe the majesty that is Lulworth, one tends to run out of superlatives. The dimensions of the rig are staggering, as is the meticulous attention to detail that defines this restoration. No effort has been spared to trace original material, or reproduce items with the greatest possible degree of authenticity. This project has rightly been called “The Restoration of the Century” but Lulworth is also more than that - she is the greatest surviving member of the big class; the largest Gaff Cutter in the world; has the longest wooden boom in the world; has the most original and authentic interior of any large Classic; she is the ultimate in which to take part in the Classic regattas circuit; she is, within limits, a comfortable cruising yacht; she is supremely beautiful. Anyone considering the purchase of a large vintage yacht must give consideration to Lulworth.
