Agnes

After extensive research, the 46’ pilot cutter Agnes was built to lines of the original Agnes of 1841, the top pilot cutter from the Isles of Scilly. Her dimensions are 46’ overall x 13’ 3” beam x 8’ 6” draft, she has a displacement of 26 tons.
 
The original Agnes had a long working life ending as the last cutter to work out of the Isles of Scilly under Captain Stephen Jenkins whose grandsons Alf and Barry launched Agnes in May 2003. She has proven to be an extremely fast vessel and light on the helm.
 
She first went across the Atlantic, but has now returned to the UK and is now kept by Working Sail. We use her as a demonstration vessel to give our customers a chance to experience the real thing. During summer months she also sails to all the festivals and races to fly the flag, and shows the other boat how it’s done.
