Puritan is a Laurent Giles 38 Bermudan Cutter. Designed by world-renowned naval architect Laurent Giles, she was originally built by John Sears Ltd. In 2000, she underwent an extraordinary full refit at the owner’s own boat yard. The refit upgraded every aspect of the vessel, including her hull, rigging, sails, and interior, while preserving the timeless charm of her classic design. This 38-foot cutter combines elegant lines with exceptional seaworthiness, making her a prized yacht for cruising enthusiasts. The traditional craftsmanship shines through in the beautifully varnished woodwork, while modern enhancements ensure reliability and comfort at sea. With updated navigation equipment and an upgraded Yanmar 52hp engine, she is ready for long passages or coastal cruising, while also being used for summer racing. The Bermudan rig provides excellent sailing performance, and the cutter configuration offers versatility in different wind conditions. This Laurent Giles 38 is a rare opportunity to own a classic yacht in peak condition, blending history with modern capability. She has been meticulously maintained, winterised, and serviced every year, and stored undercover. The sails have also been laundered, checked, and serviced where necessary every year. She is a classic boat in pristine condition.
