The Thames Waterman Cutter is 34 feet long with a beam of 4 feet and 6 inches,

In keeping with the traditional rowing concept it has fixed seats, for up to six rowers, a Cox and passenger.

The basic design has produced a robust stable and fast boat, equally at home on rivers or sheltered coastal waters. Various rowing, or sculling configurations are possible, including simple adaptation to the role of Ceremonial Livery barge with extra passenger seating under a canopy at the stern. In this form the Cutter resembles the decorated craft so often depicted in the historical prints and pictures of the River Thames in the 17th and 18th centuries.

 

Thames Cutters have taken part in the following events:

Opening of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre,

International Festivals of the Sea,

Beaulieu Classic Boat Festival,

Port of London Challenge Cup,

The Great River Race,

Tudor Pull,

Ocean to City Race in Ireland

Sunbury Town Regatta.
