The lugger Lyonesse, your chance to buy a piece of floating history.

The liveaboard owner of the lugger Lyonesse is selling up and moving ashore - so now is the chance to buy an historic Cornish lugger with a unique history that includes being shot out by our own boys in blue!



Luggers were the traditional fishing boat of choice in the south west - the lug rig makes for the most efficient and powerful means of sailing and happens to look the best when out on the water. many local boats sported the 'dipping' lug rig which involved dropping the fore lug and passing the sail around behind the foremast to catch the opposite tack.



She is currently moored in Cardigan.
