This is a slightly larger version of Laurent Gile's famous Vertue. She had a major refit in 1997, including new keel bolts, garboards, some re-fastening and the deck re-sheathed. Yanmar 2GM20 diesel, new 1998. 4 berths. Sold by Wooden Ships to present owner, she has been cruised locally around the Cornish coast but a lack of time has forced them to sell. An attractive boat, very well built in the beginning which is a huge positive, easy to handle for one or two people but with space for more if required.

GRP Folkboat built to the Nordic lines by Abbotts Boats of Canada in 1968. She differs slightly from the true Nordic Folkboat with an extended coachroof giving more space in the forecabin, inboard Beta 10hp diesel with a Darglow feathering propeller and extra shrouds on the Z-Spars alloy mast for added support. Very nice condition fitted out with varnished mahogany in the cabin and cockpit. Raymarine chartplotter, autopilot and nav systems, Eberspacher cabin heater and all Harken deck gear. New cockpit cover and stack pack mainsail cover. Very nice little yacht, antifouled, serviced and ready to go

Designed by Norman Dallimore and built by WM Kings of Burnham in 1938, a combination that provided so many exquisite pre-war yachts in the UK. Very pretty little yacht with super sailing characteristics. Mahogany on CRE frames with lead keel and bronze bolts plus a bronze centreplate. Recent Yanmar diesel, 2 berths with sitting headroom. Very large cockpit makes for comfortable day sailing. Light enough to be towed on the road with a good trailer. As much pedigree, class and charm as any owner could wish for.

A solid example of the ever popular and capable Holman 26, built in 1965 by Whisstocks of Woodbridge. Unusually she has bronze chainplates and keel bolts as her commissioning owner ran a bronze foundry. Sailed extensively around the east coast of England and over to Holland and Belgium, a well equipped yacht in tidy condition with an extensive maintenance record. 4 berths, private heads compartment, large chart desk and 2 burner spirit stove. Yanmar 1 GM10 diesel. Very nice example ready to sail away. The owner wishes to scale up to a larger yacht so is offering the boat for sale at a very attractive price in order to sell her this season.

A very pretty traditional boat which was built as a smaller version of a Breton sailing fishing boat, She was the last boat built by Ed Matthews at Ferris & Blank yard in Dartmouth. Mahogany on oak and rock elm, copper fastened. A capable sea boat which the present owners have sailed up and down the south west coast but they now require a larger boat.

The Loch Long One Design was built for racing and cruising on Loch Long and the Firth of Forth and of 130 built over 100 are believed to still exist. There are still a few racing classes, on the Clyde and East Coast. This boat appears to be very smart and has had lots of new gear in the last couple of years.

Designed by Harrison Butler, this gaff cutter is a pretty boat with nice lines. Lots of money spent in present ownership, reconditioned engine ready to fit, new all over cover and all new electrics plus a lot of work to hull and decks. Still some further work required. An interesting boat with lots of internal volume and a large cockpit.

4 ton Hillyard built in 1959, one of the smaller boats built by Hillyards but still a very capable and easy to handle local cruising boat. Sailed easily by one person but with 3 berths, separate heads and galley. Well cared for in present ownership, offered at a low price due to owner circumstances. A lot of cheap fun on the water

Laurent Giles Columbia Class sloop designed by Laurent Giles as an affordable, capable and easily handled cruising boat. She is a mini blue water cruising yacht and far more capable then her dimensions suggest.

Kim Holman Stella design, built in 1960 by Tucker Brown. The Stella is thought to have been based on the Folkboat except they have more volume and are more capable boats. This one has had some major refit work carried out including some replacement planking, new keel bolts and a new engine. She is sitting on a heavy duty road trailer that can be towed with a Land Rover or similar making her mobile and potentially cheap to run. Recent survey findings available with a list of jobs required hence the attractive price.

Laurent Giles Vertue no. V22 built in 1949. Bought by the current owner as a project but time and work commitments mean it is no longer viable. All strap floors replaced. Interior carefully removed, labelled and stored. Rig complete and carefully labelled. A complete major refit is required but there are lots of good points to work with and it would be such a shame to see another good boat put on the bonfire.

Dragon class keelboat in need of a complete rebuild. Larch planked with splined seams. The hull appears to have kept its shape with an intact sheer line. Stored undercover so largely sheltered from the elements.
