Her build was supported with extensive help and shared knowledge from the Philip & Son Shipyard (Dartmouth, England). The Devil's Gauntlet is an exact, full size replica of the Brigantine "Sultana" (1768), a Royal British Navy ship that was built to protect the Massachusetts coast from piracy, prevent smuggling, and collect customs duties.  The Devil's Gauntlet boasts 2 wooden masts, a bow pulpit, with the wheel and upper rudder post aft of the raised companionway. She has a forward sloping aft deck with a boom gallows just aft of the wheel station. A seven rung wooden ladder that leads down the companion way into the main salon which has a full wet bar with a sink and serving counter. There is a U-shaped settee with a granite counter top end table and mirrored cabinet above. Her centered passage leads forward down two steps where on the starboard side is the main AC panel box, the guest head, and the aft and forward guest state rooms. On the port side is access to the fuel filters, the U-shaped galley, and the aft and forward guest state rooms. A wooden swing door leads from the port forward state room to the V cabin, which is currently used as a tool and spare equipment room. Aft is the master state room with its own on suite head.  Her hull is constructed from a Kevlar/Polymer/Ferro composite which is known to provide unparalleled strength, performance, and able to stand the test of time. Kevlar/Polymer/Ferro hulls greatly reduce many issues that come from traditional fiberglass or wood construction and they are still widely preferred and used by many reputable boat building shipyards throughout the world.

She was given a solid bill of health with an "Excellent" overall rating and a fair market value of over $3,000,000. She will be conducting her USCG COI requirements in October at which point the asking price will be increased. Survey and records are available to qualified and serious buyers only.
