A gaff-rigged Hastings lugger circa 1880

This scale model of a Hastings lugger is very similar to the one described in E.W. White’s book as typical of this type of fishing vessel. She has an extremely wide beam, centreboard, lute stern and two masts, which are stepped in tabernacles for ease of lowering. She could carry up to six men and has wide covered holds for the catch. The mainsail has two sets of reefing lines and the topsides are painted black. There is a hauling post at the foot of the mast. It is presented in a glass case. English, circa 1880.
