The Cape Cutter 19 was developed from the original South African design, as a lot of owners have stated how good this design was to use for launch and recovery. The unit is of a single axle hot dipped galvanised, braked, design with a central spine of rollers with two support beams either side of the bilge runners to support the hull.

A detailed view of our Continental option, which consists of 4 removable triangular section forward and aft of the axle. The cost of this option is 417.40 including V.A.T. (20.0%). Note this is removable.

A view of the number board. This is is easily detachable for launching. The original South African design had integral lights which failed following a couple of immersions! The cost of this option is 85.00 including V.A.T. (20.0%), but also includes securing straps, as shown below. This photograph also shows the rear jockey wheel option, this is very useful for manoeuvring the trailer around by hand. It also stops the trailer from tipping up if disconnected from the towing vehicle when rigging when the owner is inside the boat, towards the stern! The cost of the jockey wheel option is 79.50 including V.A.T. (20.0%).

Securing straps, in place ready for the tow to warmer climes!

1. Foot Outhaul: this is the lashing between the foot of the sail and the top end boom fitting.

2. Double mainsheet block: shackled to bottom end boom fitting.

3. 2 Reefing lines tied with bowlines around boom, lead up to appropriate cringles on the leech of the sail and back through the
appropriate turning block on the boom to the 2 cleats opposite each other on either side the boom.

4. The lazy jack acts as a topping lift on a gaff rig. It is a continuous line, tied to the single horn cleat on the boom, going up
through a shackle (aft of the single throat halyard block at the hounds fitting on the mast) and back down to the boom, where it is
cleated off at the mid boom lazy jack single horn cleat. When moored, tighten the lazy jacks to lift the boom out of the way so you
can have more head room in the cockpit.

Photo shows first reef tied in.
All reefing is handled from the companionway step, a secure position to work from. Let the main out, drop the throat and peak halyards, loop the reefing point eye onto the horn at the gooseneck, lean back and tighten the reefing lines on the mid boom twin reefing horn cleats, hoist the halyards and pull in the main.

1. The throat of the sail is lashed with a 4 mm lacing line to the shank of the bolt behind the gaff jaw. This lacing should be tight to
keep the sail close to the mast, as shown in top picture.
2. The throat halyard is looped around the same bolt that the throat is laced to. It should be looped both sides of the lashing in such a
way as to prevent it sliding to one side of the bolt (to avoid the possibility of the gaff jaws hoisting off centre).

This photo shows the gaff jaw, throat halyard, lacing of sail head to gaff and gaff span attachment.

As the boom attaches to the gooseneck on the stainless steel tabernacle as apposed to the mast, it is extremely strong and less vulnerable when gibing.
