Crew wanted for East Coast gaff cutter

[gjenkins]

I am looking for crew for "Jacinta", a 25 ft gaff cutter based in Brightlingsea, either for day sailing or for a longer trip (planned for this summer). I Don't necessarily need experience, 'though that will help, just a practical disposition and good humour.

Hi Graham this is Jerry.. I can`t help with crewing as I`m busy with my boat (Hurley 24...` yes I went bermudian!) but I would say,not many people read this bit of the YM forums,and you should try putting it up on the East Coast Forum above which will guarantee some local sailors read it. Where are you going,I`m hoping to make Germany this spring,all the best Jerry

I'm not replying to the crew request. Please would you tell me how old Jacinta is? I once knew a boat with the same name.

Hi,

She is a Maurice Griffiths design Leigh Cockler built in Leigh on Sea and first registered in 1959 under the name Golliwog. Finding that name a bit non PC, I changed the name to Jacinta, a name used at some point in her history.
