Tallulah

wooden pilot cutter being planked

44’ Tallulah was launched in April 2008 and took to the water like a greyhound on her maiden voyage, reaching 9.6 knots with no effort.

Her design takes the best from Lizzie May and Ezra. Slim with a relatively light hull displacement of 20 tons, and a long fan-tail counter, slightly raked stem, a lean underwater body, she is the most elegant cutter to date. Her slightly smaller rig makes her very handy and easily driven.

 Designed for two, she has more emphasis on comfort with a large saloon and galley. On deck, she remains as traditional as ever, with tiller, thwart, and barrel windlass. She is now owned by Debbie Purser after her sale in the summer of 2021.
