EASTER is a beautiful and much loved Buchanan 35' Bermudan Sloop built in 1960. A classic with unusually high 6’4 headroom throughout and built mainly of teak including the hull planking. I’ve owned her for 12yrs and have had many beautiful trips whilst restoring her both inside and out. In 2020 she was upgraded with new Sanders mainsail, genoa and Noble mast and has a replacement Yanmar 3JH4E engine and new electrics. She is a stunning yacht with strength as well as performance and comfort. She always feels safe, no matter what the weather throws at you due to her solid c... read more

The Vertue is one the most iconic British yacht designs of all time, examples of which have voyaged the world and proved themselves as incredible sea boats with capabilities far beyond their size.  This particular boat, Laurent Giles Vertue V40, is a very nice example, that has benefited from a regime of continuous maintenance and light use. Designed by Laurent Giles and built by Stebbings of Burnham on Crouch in 1951.  She was built for the Festival of Britain exhibition in 1951 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_of_Britain) as an example of top class British boat building a... read more

The time has come to sell my much loved boat. Tamarisk is a classic wooden sailing yacht built in 1938. She is pitch pine on oak with a cutter rig and a long keel. I bought her in 2018 in Cornwall and since then she has taught me a great deal about sailing and wooden boats. She is a joy to work on and sails like a dream. Everything is very simple, no complicated electrics or fancy systems. She has a single bunk on either side, a little kitchen area to starboard and a very small forepeak which we added last year as a bunk for our little girl (2 years old the time). Tamarisk is the perfect size ... read more

Here is a unique chance to own a piece of yachting history. Tiare is the only example in the UK of the legendary Philip Rhodes Bounty II yawl. Often confused with Nicholson yawls, she is bigger, faster and prettier. She is also faster and more capable than a Sparkman and Stephens Concordia, or a 40' McGruer, Sangermani, Holman, Hinckley or Cheoy Lee. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/bounty-ii Since buying her in Hawai'i 18 years ago, we have spent over £150,000 on her, replacing her standing rigging, main and genoa, all of her electrics, navigation (Raymarine) and... read more

Laurent Giles Peter Duck built by Porter and Haylett in 1964. The Peter Duck is well known for its connection to Arthur Ransome, the very first one being designed for the writer by Laurent Giles just after the war.

She was originally for sale at £36,000 then reduced. I need to move her this spring so open to any reasonable offer. Mairi Bahan was designed as 26-foot gaff rigged day racer by (Uncle Rouse) H. S Rouse, Vice-Commodore of the Hong Kong Yacht Club and a yacht designer. Converted to Bermudan on the 60s. Around six of his yachts are thought to have survived into the second Millennium. The most famous of these is the Tai-Mo-Shan which has an illustrious sailing history but best known now for her starring role in the first Mama Mia film. History that came with our boat is Mairi Bahan was f... read more
