Susanna

Thanks to Peter Gregson of Wooden Ships, who sent details of this lovely counter stern, bermudian cutter.

Designed by Norman Dallimore and built by William King & Sons of Burnham on Crouch in 1936.

Susanna measures 33’6" LOD and 38’ LOA, 8’6” beam, 4’6” draft, 6’ headroom, 9 tons TM. Built with 1" pitch pine planking on Canadian rock elm frames, oak floors, her keel is English Elm. Her lead keel is attached by bronze keel bolts and she's copper and bronze fastened throughout. Decks are 1 1/4" solid teak.

She was built to last.

In Peter's own words "Is this not the most exquisite yacht?" - you have to agree without reservation.

Please Donate to our Charities

Two charities have been selected which deal with fundamental human problems clean water and curing cancer.

Access to clean water continues to be a problem for millions of people around the world.

“Unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all disease and kill more people than all forms of violence, including war.”

Let’s try and change that and help prevent the deaths of 4000 children who die every day through lack of clean water.

To Donate please go to Water Aid

Cancer continues to be one of the major killer’s.

It’s difficult to find anyone who doesn’t have family, friends or colleagues who have been touched by the disease. While remarkable progress has been made in the treatment of cancer there is still a long way to go. Helping to fund research is a way we can all contribute to this giant undertaking.

To Donate please go to Cancer Research

Please email photographs and text which reveal a little of the story behind the boat and why it’s important to you.

It’s important to say that you must own copy write to any photographs, pictures and words which you send.

If you would like to get more involved we are seeking contributing authors who post regular items - please email if you would like to get involved.

Our aim is to have an interesting and extensive blog of boats which people can enjoy. If you like the blog then please use the links and to donate directly to two nominated charities.

The most important part of all of this is the boats, so here’s the call to fellow bloggers, followers or anyone who has an interest, “there really is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

All words and photographs published on 1001 Boats are subject to copy write either of 1001 Boats or the original owner who has authorised their use. They may not be reproduced elsewhere in any form or medium.
