Described as a 'fifty-fifty' yacht by her designer W.G. McBryde, this fine vessel cleverly blends the benefits of both the sailing boat and the motor yacht in a way that many motor sailers seem to miss. Her lines are exquisite and perfectly balanced with a tall ketch rig and central wheelhouse. Her spacious interior of 15 Thames Tons offers an aft cabin and stunning saloon with nearly all original joinery, plus a large heads compartment and galley in the bows. With twin engines she is easy to handle in close confines and cruises easily at 6 knots, but she also has remarkable sailing performance with tiller steering on the aft deck for those sunny days offering 'wind in the hair' sailing. A truly stunning yacht refurbished by her experienced and dedicated owners.

Designed by Scot Daniel Fyfe, a relation to the first William fife of Fairlie and built on the Clyde in 1895 for Noel Guinness of the brewing family. Her lines are based on those of the Loch Fyne Skiff, a capable, seaworthy and very attractive Scottish vessel. Rebuilt by the current shipwright owner over a 27 year period, launched in 2022. Complete new hull, decks and interior finished to a very high standard. A superb blend of history, pedigree and modern practicality make this a rather magnificent yacht.

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.

Built to an American design by two Swedish brothers and sailed by them to the West Indies and back in the early 1960's. Bought by the present owner in 2002, she has been through several major periods of refit including all new laminated oak frames, a new interior including all systems, new teak deck in 2023 and new rigging in 2026. An unusual boat here in the UK with her very shallow draft at only 3' with the centreboard up. This allows access to areas most 40' yachts cannot go, including the European canals and makes her a very versatile and attractive design. Her rig is also unusual with a 'mule sail' on a roller between main and mizzen masts. The rig is perfectly set up for single handed sailing with roller headsails and a boomed staysail. A very fine yacht in superb condition that has been professionally maintained without concern for cost. 2026 survey available. Sensibly priced due to the owners personal circumstances meaning a quick sale is required.

One of the most famous of the McGruer 8 meter Cruiser Racers, one of 15 built by Mcgruers. This was a strong and competitive fleet on the Clyde through until 1975, providing exciting racing in elegant yachts that also offered comfortable accommodation for crew between regattas. Well maintained by her current owner, she is a very original yacht with many original features and fittings. Impeccably presented both inside and out, this is a yacht full of pedigree and class.

A terrific blend of naval architecture from Sparkman and Stephens, coupled with the fine yacht-building skills of the McGruer yard produced this very special and quite unique yacht to the 8-meter Cruiser Racer rule. The previous long ownership saw the boat maintained to a meticulous standard. In the current ownership she has been subtly upgraded and improved and is now in excellent order, ready for the coming season. 5 berths, Yanmar 20hp diesel and a large sail wardrobe. Extensive 2021 survey available. Fantastic classic yacht for sale.

Designed and built by Camper and Nicholson in 1951 with an elegant sheer line and the tell tale C&N coachroof and doghouse design. All teak hull. Elegant yacht with 5 berths and 6'6" headroom. Thorough refit work in 2022 and 2025/2026 included re-splining of the hull, complete cosmetic refit inside and out, new electronics and other jobs. 5 berths including a double and 6'6" headroom in the saloon. Fast beautiful yacht with good pedigree.

Designed by Irishman G. O'Brian Kennedy, the hull was built by Harold Kimber in 1964. The build then stopped and she was eventually completed and commissioned by Tideway Marine of Salcombe in 1980. Major rebuild in 2015 with a complete new deck structure, keel off, engine overhauled, new rigging, sails, systems and more. Since then she has taken part in classic regatta events and been cruised, much of it single handed, around the Med, out to the Azores and around the UK and Channel coasts. A striking looking yacht with a detailed recent refit history, very strongly built and capable of long distance ocean sailing. Her ketch rig makes her easily handled by one or two people, the perfect boat for an adventuring couple perhaps. Moving to Devon Spring 2026.

Designed and built by David Cheverton in 1958, she was awarded Yacht of the Year in 1959 after a superb racing season during which she largely wiped the floor in the UK yacht racing scene. The Danegeld class was launched off the back of her success. The boat is still raced regularly in the classic regattas and has been well maintained and updated over the years. New sails in 2012, complete new rig in 2016, new engine in 2023. 6 berths with 6'3" headroom. a fine looking yacht with superb pedigree and a reputation for being a fast and competitive boat. Excellent 2024 survey available.

Ferro cement gaff schooner professionally built by 'Mick the Brick' of Gweek, Cornwall in 1989. Not rigged and sailed until 2000. Since then she has circumnavigated the globe with a family crew, and more recently between 2020-2022 went on an Atlantic circuit voyage. Well proven as a comfortable live aboard cruising yacht, very capable, sea worthy and safe. Very elegant hull lines clearly inspired by the larger pilot cutters and with the same excellent sailing qualities. 8 berths in a spacious interior. A boat which attracts followers wherever she goes on the planet, with many stories to tell already, now looking for her next owners to continue the voyaging.

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.

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.
