Thanks for the tour, a couple terminology things for your future info. The boom is resting on the 'boom gallows' and the custom dowels you showed are called 'belaying pegs', the large hatch above the main cabin is called a 'butterfly hatch'. I have all these things on our boat so wanted to share that info. This one looks like a great little boat. :)
Bristol was a very important port and the Bristol Channel is a large and dangerous entry to the port with the second greatest tides in the world (over 40ft). The pilots were very well paid and raced to get to incoming ships first. The cutters were well known for their seakeeping qualities with only a crew of two, a man and a boy, and a passenger - the pilot.
You’re talking about the wrong boat. This, a Bristol Channel Cutter, is a totally different yacht. This is not a Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter which was sailed two up, the pilot and his apprentice who would sail the cutter back, usually alone. The pilot was the ships owner. I own a Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter at over 26 tonnes and solid wood, 128 yrs old. This is a review of a fibre glass cutter designed by Lyle Hess and is effectively a mass produced version of the pardeys original yacht.
Cracking wee yacht. I would say it’s built in the style of a Bristol Channel Cutter. The actual cutters were much longer…. And a lot older than 1982. Tell you what, if this boat was in NZ it wouldn’t even get to RUclips. Stunning.
Bcc or Bristol Channel cutter was also a brand in California. Designed by Lyle Hess and the lines are based on pilot cutters. Very sought after classic plastic. And this is the 28 footer from that company.
The pilot cutters were fast to be the first reach an incoming vessel. Obviously before radio or any comms nobody knew when a ship would arrive. The cutters would watch for ships on the horizon. The first cutter to get to the incoming ship got the job to pilot the ship in. I believe they were privately owned businesses in the main.
The boat is professionally finished. She is one of the 40 or so BCCs that were completed in Vancouver BC. The hull and deck were shipped from Southern California and then completed in Canada.
@@markgearhart6004 yes very high quality interior finish along with all bronze deck hardware and chainplates. See my other post where I discuss boat in more detail.
Thank you for this great channel. This is such an amazing vessel and for me it ticks all the boxes. If I recall those are thole pins. Are they known as dowels in your prt of the world? I'm from South Africa and tok my 2NO FG with my Able Bodied Seaman's ticket, yacht skippers ticket and 5 years deep sea experience. I love your videos and realy get itchy feet when I see such beautiful vessels like this.
Does it look like a 22ft yacht? These types of boat should always describe their length over deck and length overall. One tells you how she’ll perform, the other will tell you what your berthage fees will be
They didn't bring supplies they brought the pilot out to the tall ships and the pilot then would take over the tall ship and bring it in through the Bristol Channel which has huge tidal changes and was known to be tricky. The pilots competed with each other and the first one to the ship would get paid by the boat to pilot it in. This meant that the pilots needed fast boats that could handle all types of weather and over many years the Bristol Channel Cutter was born, able to run in light winds (I've seen video of the them doing 3 knots to windward in 5 knots of wind) as well as bash through waves.
Now thats a first, never heard a belaying pin called a dowel before. But then again, landlubbers don't know a 10th of what they think they know on boats. I still get a giggle when I hear "on the hard", is that new computer slang for dry docked or hauled out?
Very nicely done. Think I'd try to find a way of making a central table (drop down/folding/something) and I gotta have a gimbaled stove... ...do you accept 3rd party checks 😁
Well, he is obviously a dock queen and not a sailor. He called the saloon a salon. Salons are for doing hair or nails. The term is often used by people who want to be OH SO POSH for the saloon of a boat.
Great comment. I have one of these in Australia. It took one of Australia's best boat builders 6000hrs to build The broker's terminology was a bit painful to hear.
@@sdcofer52 There are plenty of retractable bowsprit/spar designs and basically all BCC's have retractable sprits but not after a roller furler has been installed...
@@TermiteUSA there is a bobstay or dolphin striker as you call it, it can be seen pretty clearly and that is a normal length bowsprit. Projects about 7ft and toggles into the sampson posts with a fid that is removable to retract the sprit...

Belaying pins.
Absolutely amazing. I think literally my dream boat! Kudos to the owner / caretaker!
Hi I cruised for 12 years with the reliable SAAB 10 hp hand rank.
Such a good motor.
And you still got the spelling wrong.
Gorgeous... 28'... looks sooo roomy
Thanks for sharing

Classic definitely sailboat ⛵🌊 a Bristol Channel Cutter. well done . Greetings from Patagonia, Chile
Beautiful boat
Very nice boat and thanks for the video

You're thinking of the Pilot Cutters. This is a Bristol Channel Cutter. Arohanui e hoa

I would bet that it would be easy to make both couches in the cabin into pull-outs and add Lee cloths to.
Beautiful small cruiser!!!
Very cool boat! Love all that wood.
That's What She Said!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Nice descriptive video as well 👍

Absolutely gorgeous
One more terminology issue, at least up to minute 3:44: Almost all rudders at the stern. This rudder is transom hung.
Amazing!
Belaying pins to fix the running rigging to the belaying rack between the fore and aft lower shrouds.
Man I would absolutely own this if I could. I love gaffs, I love old wooden style, but Ido like a GRP boat better than wood (which is too much work).
Not bad. Really like those fenders. I'm going to say that it's an owner finished boat, not a factory finished boat.
@@adamfischeryachts814 I own BCC 108. Its factory finished. I'm still thinking yours is owner finished.
The boat is professionally finished. She is one of the 40 or so BCCs that were completed in Vancouver BC. The hull and deck were shipped from Southern California and then completed in Canada.
@@spankmeairlines Ah, that explains why I did not recognize it. The Canadian boats are very high quality. Thanks for clearing that up.
@@markgearhart6004 yes very high quality interior finish along with all bronze deck hardware and chainplates. See my other post where I discuss boat in more detail.
It’s a “pilot” cutter so I thought the original purpose was to ferry a port pilot out to a ship to bring it into port (?).
Excelente 🇦🇷🙂
If you ever do one of these another time, PLEASE use a wide angle lens!!
@@adamfischeryachts814 Try another camera?

I’ve seen that boat before up here in Seattle
merci
Does 28 include the bowsprit?
@@adamfischeryachts814 Thanks. Beautiful boat. I'll take 2 😊
Good question
The overall length is actually just over 38' (not 34').
Does it look like a 22ft yacht? These types of boat should always describe their length over deck and length overall. One tells you how she’ll perform, the other will tell you what your berthage fees will be
Was this a Sam Morris made Boat in Cosa Mesa, Calif.?
The boat wasn't completed by Morris. My understanding is the hull & deck were done and then shipped to Canada for interior and exterior fit out.

BCC is the best of the best for a small boat.
05:03 Duh..... the boats at the dock R'sole !!
dowels??????
belaying pin!
Can you film any closer so you absolutely can not see anything?
The engine is Sabb. Not Saab.
Salesmen be talking "great" "beautiful" "great", blah blah.
"You dont see a lot of these engines" translation: you cant get parts.
Just wish she was a little bit bigger.
Or film it with a wide angle lens ;)
Typical male. I always say the same.
You called the saloon a salon? That’s worse than calling the belaying pins dowels. Were you a used cars salesman before selling boats?
Trust me, I know boats lol.
Those are not dowels, they are belaying pins.
Dowels?? Come on guys - they are belaying pins. Love the boat and the design but stopped watching at that point…..
Well, he is obviously a dock queen and not a sailor. He called the saloon a salon. Salons are for doing hair or nails. The term is often used by people who want to be OH SO POSH for the saloon of a boat.
I just tune out the brokers and enjoy the vessels, not a big deal lmao
Your right, hahahaha
These brokers that know nothing about what they’re talking about. I heard a guy call it a bow spit. FFS.
Instead of nit picking his terminology how about you all post links to your channels so we can all see how it should be done.
there called belaying pins not dowels mister yacht man
Great comment. I have one of these in Australia. It took one of Australia's best boat builders 6000hrs to build
The broker's terminology was a bit painful to hear.
They are called belaying pins land lubber.
Those are belaying pins. Not dowels.
I couldn't really appreciate the details of the boat
"Composting head" ????
It was going well until you went foreward a mess.
Cringeworthy. How can a boat broker be so uninformed about the boat they're showing.
"This thing is nonretractable." That means there must be such thing as a retractable bowsprit? Du-oh! WTF??????????
Well, yes there are plenty of designs with a retractable bowsprit.
@@sdcofer52 There are plenty of retractable bowsprit/spar designs and basically all BCC's have retractable sprits but not after a roller furler has been installed...
That spar looks long for the amount forrard of the bow with no dolphin striker and few stays.
Would love though. Is 50k in range at all?
@@TermiteUSA there is a bobstay or dolphin striker as you call it, it can be seen pretty clearly and that is a normal length bowsprit. Projects about 7ft and toggles into the sampson posts with a fid that is removable to retract the sprit...
