Designed by Sparkman & Stephens, built by Paul Molich in Denmark in 1966 for the reigning One Ton Cup champion, Claus Turitz. She competed in the One Ton Cup championship of 1968.

Completed a 3000Nm voyage from Stavanger to the North Cape and back in 2024. 5 single berths with good headroom. A fast easily handled yacht with excellent pedigree.
Designed as part of a competition for the Royal Swedish Yacht Club to stimulate innovation in yacht design. She was built in 1938 and given away as a prize in the yacht clubs raffle in 1939, won by a Scottish sailor who brought her home to Scotland where she has been ever since. Cruised on the west coast of Scotland for the last 30 years, she has been maintained to a good standard and recently had a spring refit ready for the summer season. 4 berths with heads and galley. Volvo 18hp diesel. A very elegant yacht with good pace.
Buchanan Prior 37 launched in 1964 and built to Lloyds 100A1 classification. Built for a syndicate of 3 owners who campaigned her regularly in offshore races until she was sold to the present owner in 2002. Then started a 3 year major bottom up rebuild of the boat which required the whole interior to be removed, planking and frames replaced, new bronze strap floors, all new interior and systems. Since then she has been cruised extensively and continually upgraded with a new engine in 2022, new rigging and sails in 2017 and numerous other works. This is probably the most complete and turn key yacht of her type we have ever had the pleasure of offering for sale, a real gem from a dedicated and experienced owner. New insurance survey due winter 2025.
Elegant Swedish cruiser racer yacht designed and built by the great Torre Holm. Brought to the UK by the present owner and raced in many classic regattas proving her as a fast and competitive boat. New Collars mast and all rigging in 2010, she has been used only very lightly since then. Perkins Perama M30 engine needs a rebuild or replacement unit. 5 berths with 6' headroom.
Kim Holman Twister class yacht built by Cardnell Bros. of Brightlingsea. One of the best examples of a Twister, built to a very high standard and well maintained. 5 berths with all original joinery. Beta 20hp diesel. A superb, fast and capable boat, previous class winner of Round the Island Race.
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
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.
Buchanan Vashti Mk3, also known as the Queen Class 38, was the GRP version of Buchanans famous Vashti design, a yacht that proved her mettle as a fast and capable cruiser racer in the 1960's. Her robust GRP hull was moulded by Tylers and then fitted out by Priors who were used to building wooden boats, so her interior has a distinctly classic feel, something that often lacks on GRP yachts. Well maintained and continually upgraded with a complete new rig in 2022, race spec sails and a full inventory. A true classic in her own right, she qualifies for the classic regattas and makes for a very competent cruiser racer yacht with exquisite lines.

The perfect classic cruiser racer for the modern world, elegant, easy to handle and very classy.
Yachting Word Seahorse, designed by Van de Stadt and built by the first owner. Refitted in recent years, she has an adaptable rig that can be set as either gaff or bermudan.

Any offers considered.
