Cape Cutter 19

The Cape Cutter 19 is a production GRP boat in the UK but can also be built by amateur builders from plans. The lapstrake plywood hull is traditional English workboat in image, with long waterline and gaff rig. It is a surprisingly fast little boat and very seaworthy. It has a raised sheer with flush deck to give excellent interior volume for weekending or short holidays afloat. With 4 berths, a small galley and stowage for a portable heads, the Cape Cutter 19 suits a small family for coastal cruising and gunkholing. Powering is with a small outboard that stays permanently in a well just forward of the rudder. It has lead internal ballast and a steel centreplate for windward ability. The Cape Cutter 19 is sized to fit inside a shipping container, allowing it to be shipped to distant parts of the world for expanded cruising options.
