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.
Built by Pasco and Sons as a river launch. Refitted by the previous owner with a reconditioned Bukh DV10 engine, new garboards and various new steamed timbers. Recent new propeller shaft and engine box with insulation. Complete with cover and road trailer. Attractive launch that has been used every season for the last 6 years on the River Dart, perfect for river or local coastal exploration. Recent overhaul of engine and trailer
Built by a cabinet maker in 1970 for a local retired doctor, this boat has been moored on the River Dart all her years. Beta 13hp diesel overhauled in 2022 with a major service and head skimmed. Heavy duty road trailer included in sale. A great river or lake boat as she puts up virtually no wash and is very efficient to run. Ready to launch and use immediately.
Elegant clinker motor launch built in Salcombe in 1995. A traditional design and built very nicely. Good Yanmar 1GM 10 inboard diesel. Converted with wheel steering so as to move weight forward when underway. Tiller and rudder can still be used by disconnecting the steering wires. Complete with a solid road trailer and all over fitted cover.
18' clinker motor launch built by Salcombe boat builder Nick Smith. This is a very beautiful and elegant launch built to the highest standards by an experienced boat builder who has built many similar launches. Beta 14hp diesel. Clinker planked in Khaya mahogany on oak frames with iroko thwarts and transom. Used lightly by her current owner over the last 3 seasons, wintered undercover and maintained by the builder. Complete with road trailer, fitted cover and all the extra gear necessary. An impeccable boat ready for the summer.
Rebuilt by the present owners with the sole intention of using the vessel as a platform for a unique dining charter business based around Falmouth and the Helford River in Cornwall. The business has been running successfully for 6 years now and has built up a wide client base with many returning customers, an excellent reputation and the opportunity for someone to step into a turn key and rather special business. The vessel and business are being offered for sale as a whole. Full business accounts are available to interested parties.
Grim old autumn day in Dartmouth today, although hoping for a last sail of the season this weekend with some fine weather forecast. ... See MoreSee Less
The Peter Brett designed Dee 25 was his forerunner to the famous Riva range of yachts, proved by several notable inclusions in offshore yacht races including the Fastnet where the design performed exceptionally well even in very adverse conditions.This yacht has been in present ownership for many years and has had significant refit work carried out. However very recently some rot was discovered in the topside planking and the owner has decided he cannot continue with the boat as he does not have the time or inclination to get involved in another big period of refit work. The boat is being offered for £1000. She is currently stored in a shed at a boatyard near Dartmouth, the cost of storage is £320/month. She can remain here and be worked on once sold, or can be taken away on a lorry to a new owners choice of destination.The work will involve replacing several shifts of planking including most of the sheerstrake each side, a section of beamshelf midships and addressing some areas of rotten plywood subdeck on the outer edges of the deck. Photos in the post taken recently of the areas that have been uncovered. The boat has an excellent Sole diesel engine, good rig and a smart interior, she is well worth saving and it would be a shame to see her broken up.Any sale will need to be completed quickly and the price is non-negotiable. below is a link to her current advert with full specification and more photos.woodenships.co.uk/sailing-yacht/peter-brett-dee-25/...
