A Rare Opportunity – Maurice Griffiths Kylix Cutter (GRP)
We are delighted to present a rare chance to acquire one of only two GRP-hulled Maurice Griffiths Kylix cutter-rigged sloops ever built — and the only example currently available in the UK.
Designed in 1970 as Griffiths’ own retirement yacht, the Kylix combines classic charm with practical handling. At age 70, Griffiths wanted a boat that an “elderly single-hander” could manage with ease, while drawing just 0.91 m with her lifting keel — perfect for exploring shallow waters such as his home river, the Deben in Suffolk.
Developed from Griffiths’ earlier 25-ft Cockler class and inspired by traditional cockle bawleys, the Kylix features round bilges, a fine run aft, raised topsides, and a transom stern. A signature detail is the “loco cab,” an open doghouse styled after a steam-train cabin — a nod to Griffiths’ lifelong love of railways.
Below decks, the interior is surprisingly spacious for her size, the saloon seats five comfortably, Settee berths convert into a double, storage is generous, and the overall layout has the feel of a “proper little home afloat.”
This example is beautifully maintained and presented in lovely condition. With her handsome Tan sails, classic lines, and GRP construction, she offers the joy of a genuine classic yacht without the heavy maintenance burden of wood.
This yacht is being sold with Cockpit cover, Boom tent, full winter cover, bespoke cradle and some new running rigging along with many spare parts and accessaries.
These boat details are subject to contract.
