Not a cutter actually, she's a patrol boat since she's under 210ft. (she's a 110 actually)

E: Actually, been a while since I've been out and forgot some of my nomenclature. She is indeed a cutter, but classified as a patrol boat. 210s/270s are medium endurance, 378s high endurance. Too many days spent explaining to people that anything over 65ft is a cutter.

Huh, she's not one of the ones typically stationed here in Boston. I was thinking she might be the Spencer until you actually looked up the number.

Spencer is a 270.
