Pilot Cutter Ezra Specification:  November 2011

Ezra was commissioned by Sam Brooke and Ingrid Bruce early in 2004.  Luke Powell of Working Sail started the build in the Spring of 2004 having drawn her lines and built a half model. Ezra was launched at Gweek Quay in March 2006 (see Classic Boat article) and, after a week of commissioning, sailed north to Ardfern to start her life as a skippered charter vessel.  In 2009 she was moved to Portnalong,  Isle of Skye.  In our six years of ownership, Ezra, true to her provenance, has proved to be an exceptionally seaworthy, safe and successful charter boat operating in the harsh conditions off the NW Coast of Scotland, the Northern Isles, Norway and the Atlantic coast of Ireland.

Hull
Ezra is of deep displacement with good form stability, V shaped sections and fine runs.  This gives an extremely seaworthy vessel which is fast in light airs and powerful to windward.  To conform with today’s safety code of practice Ezra has a substantial lead ballast keel adding to her stability. Ezra is traditionally built using methods of construction that have stood the test of time.
