Haven 12.5 sloop designed by Joel White and based on the Herreshoff 12 1/2 design. Built by the present skilled owner with supervision from a professional shipwright, first launched in 2010.

Mevagissey Tosher built by Gaffers and Luggers of Falmouth in 2014. This yard is known for the range of Heard boats, traditionally designed vessels built in GRP.

She can set a power of sail when required, but can be easily reefed down making her easy to handle. Her owner regularly sails alone and has found the boat to be fast, manageable and extremely fun to sail. Large open cockpit with high coamings giving her a sense of security. Yanmar YM15 engine. Superb boat in lovely condition ready to sail away.
