Cape Cutter 19 Association Forum

Hello to Christine and Nigel Boon.

They are base in Suffolk near the Stour Estuary and have just sold their Lugger, and are looking for a Capecutter 19.

And a good choice they, ve made too. Good luck with the search, folks, and welcome aboard.
I see Bob and Norma have announced their intention to retire at the end of this year, in Watercraft. I hope someone is found to carry on the business.

Bob does not (yet) own a Capecutter but he is already experienced, having sailed on five different CC19s at the 2014 International Capecutter Rally at Mylor.

Welcome to new member Dave de Groot.

Dave lives in The Netherlands and has "fallen in love with the Capecutter 19".

He does not (yet) own a Capecutter but is hoping to do so.

Andrew is based in North Lincolnshire and is hoping to buy a CC19 soon.

As the proud new owner of Ladybird, I am taking my first mate (wife) and two little pirates (daughter Erin and son Joshua) on the first of many adventures to Norfolk for some Broads exploring.

It will be the first time we launch her so lets hope she still floats!

Thank you to Ian for all his help when we collected her earlier this year.

I have made some spar cradles to help make trailering simple. I will post some photos if they are successful.

Congratulations Andrew, she looks a lovely boat. We have the same rudder modification which is probably important if you are going to play pirates... !!?? If you can do also put some pictures on our Facebook page it is a great way to connect with a wider audience. In fact photos I posted last week has prompted a friend to start his search for a CC19 that he will base in Norfolk. First he has to complete the sale of his beautiful 40' steel hulled junk rigged yacht....

A big hello to Rene Robichaux and Rob Cottrell.

Rene has bought hull number 35 "Solstice" and is based at Canyon Lake, just north of San Antonio, TX.

Rob is based in Brisbane, Australia and is hoping to by a second hand boat and ship it out there.

Welcome to new members, Gary Oldfield and Dan O'Malley.

Gary owns hull number 007, appropriately called "Moneypenny" and is the fifth member of the Kielder Capecutter fleet.

Dan has bought hull number 43 and intends to sail mainly in the South California area. He is to rename her, but does not yet know what!

Bodes well for future International Cape Cutter 19 Week venues - Brisbane and South California.

Welcome to Grant Franks.
Grant is based in Edinburgh and is interested in buying a Capecutter and is hoping that he can some "hands on" experience before he buys.
