Sally II sailing well this summer in Scotland. She is Vertue No.2 built in 1937, one of the special few early Vertues with lower freeboard and a smaller coachroof. The Vertue has gained a phenomenal reputation after many impressive voyages, these little 25’ boats punch well above their weight in terms of capability and sea keeping qualities. Sally II is for sale for only £10,000 and currently berthed in Ullapool with her long time very experienced owner.

A Francois Vivier Aber built by Traditional Sail of Salcombe, one of a small number of highly sought after Abers built by this yard in the 1990’s that very rarely come up for sale. This one is still with her original owners and has been dry stored much of her life so is in very nice condition. Known as very fast dinghies with their large lug sail these boats have exquisite lines and she captivates people wherever she goes.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Hillyard 13 ton Sloop

13 ton Hillyard Bermudan sloop launched in 1974, yard No.754.  This is one of the last wooden boats built at Hillyards and she has had only 2 owners in all her years.

There were very few of the 13 ton class built, they are a slight enlargement of the more standard 12 ton boat which was built in great numbers from the 1950’s onwards.

The tonnage referred to is Thames Tonnage, a measure of useable interior volume rather than weight.  The 13 ton class has the usual layout with aft cabin, centre cockpit, large saloon and fore cabin, but the extra space allows for a second heads in the forepeak.  Total of 6 berths with 1.95m headroom.

The slight extension of length over the 12 ton class makes for a slightly sleeker looking hull and a prettier sheer line, as well of course as a greater waterline length and consequential improvement in performance.

Bought by the current, and second owners, in 1994, since when she has cruised extensively around northern France, Channel Islands and the West Country with participation in numerous classic boat events.  The boat has been very well maintained and upgraded as necessary with a modern engine, new domestic systems and replacement standing rigging in 2025.  She is stored ashore undercover every winter and is presented in smart and tidy condition.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Alan Buchanan 32 Sloop

Designed by Alan Buchanan and built by Sutton and Smith of Essex in 1970.  This yard were known for their high quality yachts and this is no exception, evidently built to a high spec for an owner who could afford the best materials of the day.

Built with no ferrous materials, she has bronze floors and keel bolts, lead keel and bronze knees throughout.  This list of materials will ensure the boat has a very long service life with minimal maintenance, not being affected by many of the problems associated with other contemporary yachts which had galvanised floors and ferrous keel bolts.

Maintained to a good standard by her diligent owners, the boat is a superb example of British yacht design and boat building from her period.  The size also hits a sweet spot, she is big enough to offer excellent headroom, 5 good berths and a nice sized cockpit, however she is small enough to be single handed when required.  The boat is very capable of offshore cruising, classic regatta racing or local coastal pottering.  A very versatile, attractive and well maintained classic yacht offered for sensible money in ready to go condition.
