... or those who wish to become them. Conceived from fresh thoughts and built by hands that were marked by the sea, the LCPC is the ship for sailors who yearn for the pristine and a connection to nature. Deliberately reduced to the bare essentials, this ship wants to take her crew on a cruise away from the mainstream and close to the elements.

Low maintanence effort and plan operability characterise this ship. As such, all parts on board are made in a way that allows them to be repared or replaced anywhere in the world. Furthermore, there are no winches, only pulleys. The vast deck surfaces offer much space to work and relish. The low freeboard promises a pure sailing sensation.

Back in the day, every stretch of water had its own pilot cutter. At night or during bad weather, she would send a pilot to guide sailors safely into the harbour. Today, many of these old cutters are privately owned and are used for extensive cruises. With the Lake Constance Pilot Cutter, Lake Constance now has its own pilot cutter as a memento to this sailor's tradition.

The cutter is made from cedar planks over marine ply frames and coated with fibreglass. The deck consists of a marine ply beam, planked with 8 mm thick Douglas-fir deck-planks. The spars are hollow and made of native spruce from the Güttingen woods.

The enormous sail area in combination with the low weight and the modern hull shape offer this retro classic a high performance potential. Thanks to the handy division of the sails, the sail area is easily adjusted. With its 2.1 m draught, the LCPC offers enough safety and power to reach its goal relaxed, even under demanding conditions.
