Gladys was built in 1901 in Peel, Isle of Man. Referred to as a Nobby, she originally had a standing lug rig when fishing for herring. She’s 40ft long, with a draft of 5’ 5’’ and a beam of 11’ 5’’and has been converted to a dipping lugger. Based in Penryn, she’s fast and graceful and owned by Charlotte Whyte.
