Classic Fairey Huntsman power boat for sale

Fairey Marine Huntsman 28 designed by Alan Burnard and built by Fairey in 1966. This is hull No.87. A superb example of this iconic classic power boat, the boat that singlehandedly forged a new market and became a very desirable accessory for many. The success of the design was helped with notable appearances in the Cowes-Torquay race plus an explosive feature in the James Bond film 'From Russia With Love'. This yacht had a major rebuild in 1990 and was then hardly used, spending much of the next 30 years inside a shed being polished. The blissful summer of 2025 saw her in new hands with excursions up and down the south coast, out the the Scillies and appearances at numerous classic boat events. An excellent example with modern Cummins diesels that will be stealing the show next summer.

Clinker motor launch built by Nick Smith of Salcombe to his usual high standards.

This concept is most unusual but makes for an excellent family adventure/weekend camping boat that stands out from the crowd. 14hp Nanni diesel with very low hours, new all over 2-part cover and galvanised road trailer. A very complete boat that has hardly been used since new and is ready to go this summer.

Traditional river cargo sailing barge for sale

A fascinating part of our maritime history, the Lynher is a Tamar Sailing Barge built to carry cargoes around Plymouth and the surrounding area. Rescued from the mud as a derelict hulk and rebuilt by a previous owner, she underwent another major rebuild which was completed in 2017 and she went into commercial work in 2019. The Lynher has been kept as original as possible with a deck layout much as it would have been when she was working. Below decks her cargo hold has been kept as a large open space, perfect for exhibition work. Of course this could be adapted to suit any future need and she could be looked on as a blank canvas for her new owners. Fitted with a Beta 75hp main engine and an electric wing engine to assist with manoeuvres. This is a very special vessel with a fascinating history.
