Tucker Nantucket Island 23 gaff rig

[johnperthwa]

I am looking at a boat in Western Australia described as a Robert Tucker Nantucket Island gaff riged 23 foot. It is said to have been built by Andriss Foss, boatbuilding instructor at the Prince of Wales Trust in Cornwall circa 1979. It is plywood with a swing centreboard. If anyone knows anything about this boat or design it would be appreciated if you could post. This link has photos[image]www.boatsonline.com.au/boats-for-sale/used/sailing-boats.php?de=50730[/image] I can't find reference to it on the net at all.

Found this under "Robert Tucker Cornwall" .. Few links and boats now built by son so they may still have some plans .. Here

Nice looking boat .. Looks as though its been looked after .. If you have a look at the above it would appear that most were home built from ply .. So I would imagine there is going to be a variation in build quality etc ..

Robert's son Tony now runs the firm. Google about a bit and you will find some posts with the address in Hertfordshire (Hemel Hemstead?) And you can then ask direct.
