The first example of the Tosher 20 built by Terry and Martin Heard of Gaffers and Luggers in Cornwall, they went on to build many of this class which proved a popular and versatile boat for many owners. A coachroof was added at a later date giving a small 2 berth cabin but still keeping a large, deep and safe cockpit, ideal for racing or family sailing. 2017 mast and rigging. Yanmar 1Gm10 diesel engine. Lovely looking boat and a oy to sail.
Designed by Starling Burgess to the 6 Meter rule and built by Herreshoff in 1921. Campaigned in England in 1921 as part of the USA 6 meter team and has remained here ever since. Planked in Honduras mahogany with lead keel and bronze keel bolts. Raced by professional crew in present ownership, she has won every regatta she has entered around the south coast of England. This is an exceptionally fast yacht that would seemingly rate extremely favourably under IRC and could prove to be a real gem of a regatta boat with the potential to winner a lot of silverware. Available to view as part of an open day of the yard near Southampton on 17th August 2025
Designed by Alfred Westmacott, the man behind the well known X-OD yachts and Solent Sunbeams which both still have active fleets in the Solent. An elegant gaff cutter that had a major rebuild in 2005. Sailed by the present owner since 2008, raced regularly with great success and professionally maintained every year. A brilliant regatta boat or pocket cruiser, easily handled with a well set up rig and comfortable interior. Attractively priced and ready to sail.
Built by John Kerr to a very high professional standard. Built by Keer for himself as the last boat he built when suffering with lung cancer and named Hope. She is clearly a boat ideally suited to lake and river use. 2 rowing positions with space for kit and family, she comes with oars and a road trailer. There is a small rig which will need some attention to get it working correctly.
International Dragon built by Pedersen & Thuesen for the Colmans mustard family, launched in 1956. She was one of 7 boats built with the same lines that had been exaggerated within the class rules, seemingly making these boats faster than many of her contemporaries. Major refit work in present 23 year ownership with a successful race record including winning the 2016 Dragon Classics. Complete with road trailer and race sails.
Lovely example of the West Solent One Design, totally rebuilt by Jamie Clay and Fabian Bush between 1990-2001. Raced extensively on the east coast by the previous owner with a very good record. Further professional refit 2025 has put her in excellent fettle. A very simple boat with no engine, basic electrics and largely original rig but she is in excellent structural condition and could be a very successful boat on the classic yacht regatta circuit. Sensibly priced and ready for the season.
Laurent Giles bermudan cutter launched in 1938. A boat very typical of Giles designs, she bears many resemblances to the first Vertue Andrillot. In present ownership for many years, she has been sailed extensively and professionally maintained, however in recent years her condition has declined due to the health of the owner. a big volume heavy displacement yacht with 6 berths and a good Volvo Penta D2-55 engine. This boat certainly has a project element to her but is able to be sailed away as she is.
West Country gaff ketch built by Pearce of Looe in 1919. A yacht with a very interesting and varied history, she was owned by author George Millar and it is understood she was the first pleasure boat into Paris at the end of WWII, entertaining visiting royals aboard. Major refit work in the current and previous ownership including hull and deck repairs, engines rebuilt and overhauled rig. The project is not yet complete and the current owner is looking for the right person to take her and finish off the work. She has a very good pair of engines, all new wiring and overhauled rig ready to be stepped. she is dry and tight but the interior fit out needs completing. she is a big volume yacht with elegant lines and is a vessel worthy of the effort to get her finished and back to sea.
Selina King was designed by Fred Shepherd and built by Harry King & Sons in 1938 for the author Arthur Ransome, the biggest yacht he had built. After passing through several owners and crossing the Atlantic, she was bought by the current owner while lying neglected in Bermuda and a major refurbishment commenced, ending with her being launched in 2023 at the same yard in which she was built in Suffolk. A largely rebuilt boat with lots of new equipment and hardware. Rich with history, this elegant yacht is rather special and will bring much joy to her next custodian.
A rare Salcombe B Class racing dinghy, designed by Edgar Cover of Salcombe and built by Morgan Giles in 1935. Professionally refurbished between 2010 and 2017. Complete with nearly new Dacron sails, electric outboard and excellent combination road trailer and launching trolley.
Camper & Nicholsons yard were quick to realise the change in yacht construction when it came, and saw the future would be with GRP. They looked to adapt early on and built several designs in the new material, most notably the Nicholson 36. This example was built in 1962, still in the heyday of British wooden yacht building, and is one of their recognisable C&N yacht designs but with a GRP hull. The hull was laid up by Halmatic Ltd, experts in the new material, and finished by Campers with a varnished mahogany superstructure, cockpit and nice classic interior. These boats were raced a lot in the early years and will still provide their owners with exciting classic regatta racing, but are also excellent cruising yachts. A nice example of the class, well presented and ready to sail this season at £35,000woodenships.co.uk/sailing-yacht/camper-nicholson-36/... See MoreSee Less
