The Norfolk Smuggler is a 25foot traditional gaff cutter that serves as the flagship for the "Norfolk" range of classic yachts. Designed by the renowned naval architect Andrew Wolstenholme and built by Neil Thompson Boats in North Norfolk, England, the vessel was conceived to offer the rugged capability of a coastal cruiser while maintaining the aesthetic charm of a 19thcentury working boat. Unlike many classic replicas, the Smuggler is constructed using modern GRP (glassreinforced plastic) for the hull and deck, allowing for a high degree of structural integrity and reduced maintenance. It was designed as a larger, more offshorecapable evolution of its smaller sibling, the 20foot Norfolk Gypsy, and it remains a soughtafter model for sailors who prioritize seakindliness and traditional aesthetics over modern racing performance.
