The Gaffling 4.1, designed by Andrew Wolstenholme and intended for home build, was presented to OGA Members at the AGM in London, 13 January 2018. Construction is a variation on stitch-and-tape using CNC-cut components, which lends itself to building from a pre-cut kit. She has a lowered deck in the same style as the Mirror Dinghy, useful for lessening the risk of lines going overboard and providing more sprawling space for children. The versatile design allows for sailing, rowing, sculling or outboard motor. First shown at Beale Park Show in June, 2018, she sailed for the first time at the OGA55 rally in Cardiff Bay, July 2018 and joined the OGA55 celebrations on the Isle of Wight in August 2018.  Since then, several more Gafflings have been launched and others are "in build".

The Gaffling 4.1 has been reviewed and well-received by the yachting press.
