Pain Clark Gaff Cutter LORA

Wooden Ships Comments on this Pain Clark Gaff Cutter
Gaff cutter designed by J Pain Clark, built by William Kings and Sons of Burnham-on-Crouch in 1911.
This yacht has spent nearly her entire life on the east coast of the UK and has had only 5 different owners. She has been raced regularly over the years, including an entry in the Fastnet Race in the 1950’s.
She has been re-rigged a number of times, originally launched as a gaff sloop, converted to a Bermudan sloop in 1924 and into a gaff cutter, her current rig, in 2010. Her mast is unusually far forward in the hull giving her a long boom, but she will balance perfectly on all points of sail. She is a delight to sail in all conditions and can be handled by just 2 people without concern.
Bought by the current owner in 2000, she has since had major work carried out by a professional shipwright mainly between 2010 and 2013. This work included a complete new deck, re-fastened hull and many replacement frames, new engine, complete new rig, keel bolts drawn and floors/floor bolts checked.
An exquisitely beautiful yacht from any angle, she has been kept in good sound condition and would make an excellent yacht for partaking in the classic yacht regattas. Her interior is simple and cosy but could be adapted to offer more comfort if required.

Lora was my Dad Leslie Head's favourite yacht. He owned her in the 1950's and then again in the 1970's, keeping her in Burnham-on-Crouch. I have many memories of sailing and fitting her out in the 1970's as a teenager. He passed away recently aged 94 and I found this video whilst researching his eulogy.
