Agnes was built by Luke Powell, who followed the lines of the original 1841 pilot cutter from the Isles of Scilly. She had a long working life back then, ending her days under Capt. Stephen Jenkins, whose grandsons Alf and Harry helped launch the new boat in 2003. Her dimensions are 46ft on deck, 13’ 3’’ beam, 8’ 6’’ draft and a displacement of 26 tons. Agnes was originally built for an American and sailed across the Atlantic for the first few years of her life. Owned by Luke and Joanna Powell, she now operates as a charter vessel from Cornwall.
