Falmouth Quay Punts were well-established by around 1870 as working sailing boats that ferried stores, gear and even ballast to and from the square-riggers that used the Port of Falmouth. To compete for custom from the ships' captains, they used to sail out to sea to meet ships, and they were also regularly raced by their owners, alongside others built purely as yachts, in local regattas for which there were substantial sums as cash prizes. Most working punts were yawl rigged, with removable topmasts allowing a lower mainmast to let the punts lie alongside square-riggers without the masts fouling the ship's yards.

Many of the original working boats ended up being converted to yachts, as steam took over from commercial sail. One of these working boats, the 28 foot 'Curlew' built in 1898, has taken her owners, the Carrs, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and almost everywhere in between, all without an engine. Many more Quay Punts have also made notable blue water passages.

This yacht is a 'Heard 35', the hull built to Quay Punt lines, taken from original drawings, constructed by Martin Heard's Gaffers & Luggers yard at Tregatreath, Falmouth. At 35 foot on deck, she is one of the bigger Punts. She has a pole mast, allowing a topsail to be set on a wire stay rather than having to hoist a heavy spar. Despite her traditional appearance, she is fairly low-maintenance, with a minimum of exterior varnishwork.

This yacht has just returned to Falmouth from Scotland. Most of the photos here mostly date from around 2004/5, when she was last in Falmouth, with the hull cream coloured. Since then she has had the topsides professionally Awlgripped in black. We will have more updated photos very shortly.

The bowsprit can be lifted if required to reduce overall length in marinas. The outer jib is fitted with a Schaeffer furling gear, whilst the staysail has Furlex roller reefing. Since the majority of these photos were taken she has been fitted with stanchions and lifelines on deck, plus some upgrading of equipment.

She has a spacious interior, with six berths, four of which are good sea-berths, flat floors throughout, with 6' 6" headroom even in the forecabin (more aft), and a powerful diesel under the cockpit sole, along with modern electronics, shorepower, hot water, refrigeration etc. We sold this yacht on in 2005 from the original owners who commissioned her to the present owner, who has cruised her around the East Coast, Holland, and Scotland.

The photos here from February 2012 do not show the saloon, as it is still cluttered with gear stowed there for the transportation. The mast is off the boat being revarnished, and she will shortly be recommissioned ready to go.
