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.

Clinker rowing tender, believed to have been built as a tender to an east coast fishing vessel called Doris under the number LO20. Rescued from a mud berth in the creek by the current owner, she was refitted and has been used regularly ever since for local river and coastal rowing. A nice looking boat with three rowing positions, all using thole pins. She does not come with a trailer.

Built by Stones of Salcombe as a tender, 2 rowing positions and a gunter rig for simple fun sailing. Mahogany on oak hull. Tidy dinghy in sound condition, perfect as a tender or for family fun on the water.

Clinker pram dinghy built by Jim Stone of Portlemouth, Salcombe in the 1960’s. An early example of using plywood with glued lands to create a rigid yet light weight boat without the need for steamed timbers.  The glued lands mean she does not suffer from drying out and subsequent leaking which can be a big attraction. Varnished inside and out, the boat is in lovely condition and complete with oars and rig. A good stable load carrying dinghy, perfect for messing about on the water or as a tender to a larger yacht.

Clinker mahogany stem dinghy built by the Burnham motor Company, probably as a tender to one of their larger yachts. Fitted with 2 rowing positions, she comes with a pair of oars and rowlocks and new sole boards.

An Uffa Fox design, forerunner to the Albacore, and in remarkable condition for her age. Hot moulded Agba hull and a steel centreplate, almost new sails and spars, launching trolley and road trailer. She is ready to race and is extremely fast and stable, or she can be used for sailing around estuaries, rivers and lakes. An historic but very useable dinghy ready for some exciting sailing at a fraction of the cost of a modern dinghy.

Clinker pram dinghy planked in mahogany with steamed oak timbers. 2 rowing positions. Nice looking dinghy in tidy condition.

Built by Edgar Cove of Salcombe, possibly to the design of the RNSA 14 of which a number were built by Coves. Refitted by the late owner with new foredeck, some new ribs and new centreboard case. she has a mast and boom but no sails or rigging. Sitting on a good road trailer that only needs a service before use. A pretty boat in generally sound and smart condition, would make an excellent family boat for exploring rivers and estuaries.

Merlin Rocket built in 1961. Solid boat and complete with road trailer, launching trolley and rig. Fast exciting sailing and a cheap way of getting on the water

The Jolly Boat was designed by Uffa Fox, reportedly when he realised he was ‘getting a bit thick aft’ and wanted a performance boat with more space that was also able to carry four or five adults for a picnic. The design once held a monohull speed record, averaging 17.8 knots in timed trials. Double diagonal hull making her very light and rigid, this planing hull dinghy became a huge success in various parts of the world. This boat had a major refit 10 years but has not been sailed since and is in need of some finishing work to make her ready for sea. The hull and decks seem basically sound and she comes with her rig and sails, plus a galvanised road trailer and piggy back launching trolley

Sailing pram dinghy built in Salcombe, most likely by Coves. Has been stored ashore in a shed for many years and is now in need of some remedial work including re-fastening the hood ends. Complete with rig and sail, she is an ideal winter project for a ken amateur.
