Heard Tosher 18
18’6” Heard Tosher built by Gaffers and Luggers in 1980.
A nice concept of boat that competes with the more common Cornish Shrimpers, large open cockpit with a small open backed coachroof offering 2 berths or sheltered seating. Her shallow draft allows access to the upper reaches of estuaries, and with small beaching legs she can easily take the ground on a drying mooring or for overnight camping trips.
A really solid and capable little boat, in need of some tidying but fully equipped.
