 | Pilot Cutters are beautiful, romantic craft renowned for being sturdy, safe and fast ships that can cope with virtually all sea conditions.
Traditional wooden craft like this are now few and far between which makes sailing Polly Agatha such a unique holiday experience. The traditional pippy oak interior is simply stunning and conveys a deep sense of luxury whilst the beautifully varnished deck hatches, skylights and spars make the whole yacht feel like a piece of classic furniture. She has a Gaff rig and is sailed without any winches as it was done over 100 years ago.
Polly Agatha is very traditional but not without modern luxuries like a huge larder fridge, Raymarine instruments, diesel cooker (no gas onboard), a hydrogen fuel cell (no noisy generator onboard!) and a fantastically comfortable main cabin with 9'' sprung mattress with memory foam topper! She even has Champagne flutes carefully stowed in a bespoke drawer under the saloon table!
