CLAUD WORTH 62 FT GAFF CUTTER 1924/2010

Two of the most highly regarded and influential yachting books of any century, Claud Worth’s ‘Yacht Cruising’ (1910-1926), and ‘Yacht Navigation and Voyaging’ (1927-1935), reveal the evolution behind this yacht full of character, strength, ability, longevity, and seminal force. A vessel that might never have been given life were it not for a woman’s influence, that became a bedrock in the early career of probably the greatest ever yacht designer, Olin J. Stephens II. Like most yachts that have logged over a century, LUCKY LADY - TERN IV has had her ups and downs, some mercurial owners, and necessary saviours. Her easy lines, stout construction, and that she was Claud Worth’s TERN IV won through. In current ownership since 2001 she has voyaged 50,000 miles to and through the south seas her first two owners dreamed of. And been given life and vitality by a couple with the hands-on ability and vision to ensure that LUCKY LADY - TERN IV has many more decades of voyaging in her while offering an incredibly comfortable and atmospheric home on the sea.
