HISTORY
Dormouse was built in 1957 at Shuttlewoods on the River Roach. Built by J W Shuttlewood the younger of the two brothers who during the 1950s ran the Paglesham-based boat yard together. Responsible for having built over 70 vessels Shuttlewood Craft are well known in wooden boat circles and revered for having always been built for customers as opposed to the often more broad approach of having been built on spec.
Working craft, yachts and dingies all left the Shuttlewood slip and often never ventured too far from the immediate area, instead being owned by local yachtsmen and enjoying the thriving sailing scene. Dormouse is no exception having been built for the Mcdowell family who had a number of different craft built by the brothers. Remarkably this 22ft gaff cutter has only ever had two owners and despite extensive cruising has always remained berthed locally to her launch site.
Photography of Dormouse in build alongside Rose of Paglesham can be viewed on the Roach Archive and demonstrates how unchanged this pocket cruiser is -The Roach Archive Link
CURRENT HISTORY
Sadly Dormouse's current custodian passed away which has resulted in her not having been prepared for the 2024 season. Despite current cosmetic appearances Dormouse until recently has been maintained to a very high standard. Each season she is normally hauled for antifoul, varnish and topside finishes, hopefully, the works detailed below indicate the standard of this vessel.
2022 - scrub/ antifoul - topsides paint - varnish toerails, rubbing strakes & mast - seacock changed -
2021 - New Douglas fur bowsprit
2020 - scrub/antifoul - topside paint -rotten planking in aft quarters repaired
2019 - scrub/antifoul - mast and spars varnished - cutlass bearing replaced in naval bronze, new cutlass housing - new internal p bracket pads
2017 - scrub/antifoul - centre box inspected and new internal infill for keel case joint and localised repairs - propeller removed inspected and refitted - bottom burnt off, all underwater seams raked out and re stopped- topsides painted
2015 - scrub/antifoul - topside paint - deck paint - new two-layer plywood cabin top & epoxy sheaved - cabin top revarnished - localised re-caulking below the waterline
