Our South West Gaffer Boats
This tab was created in 2022/3 by an expert. Unfortunately, currently we don't have the necessary skills and time to edit and update it. However I am reluctant to delete the lovely images of the boats, most of which are still around. The second page is a table of some of the Members boats in the SW, linked to the OGA Boat Register, I can probably editI this if you email swsec@oga.org.uk.
If any member in the SW would like to have ago, please contact the SW Area Secretary and I can see if I can arrange access to Schools Online, David P January 2026
South West Gaffers member database
Some SW members have classic sailing craft of all shapes, sizes and construction. From small dinghies to classic yachts. Wood, metal, plastic, new and old.
You may come across these boats throughout the South West and sometimes further afield. You can also now find some of them showcased here.
This gallery shows boats belonging to South West OGA members, who have agreed to be included in the public database below. The gallery is available for OGA members to discover fellow local members, boat type owners or boats local to their own. But it is also accesible to many others who might be interested in our boats.
To view a gallery image full size simply click on the small image, a large image will open. You'll see who owns her, what she is, her name and where she is moored. A slide show of all the other boats will then automativally play. Click on a large image and a static fullsize image will open. Once you know the name of the boat, you can then refer to the table of SW Gaffers's boats, below. If the boat is listed on the national OGA Boat Register there is an active link to her details, held by the OGA Boat Register, via the RED boat's name. It is then possible to contact the boat owner, by email, through the OGA Boat register.
If the boat's name is black, then she is not, yet recorded on the OGA Boat register. Please contact the OGA Boat register
