Description

Apparently, "Toshing" was the taking of copper from laid-up warships. We have used the Mevagissey Tosher as the model for this boat. They were renowned for their speed and sea keeping qualities and apart from removing copper they were also used for estuary and coastal fishing and tending lobster pots and lines off the Cornish coast where the short, steep chop meant that they had to have a reasonable amount of freeboard and good initial stability. These craft are now used for racing as well as working. Construction is for strip planking over computer faired mould shapes. the planking can either be covered in wood or plywood veneer or in glass/epoxy. She has the size to take a reasonable size of cabin with space for a couple of berths, cooker and wc and we can draw up alternative fit-out details for this arrangement.
