In 1963 Kim Holman designed and had built (at Upham's in Brixham) the first Twister commissioned for himself and his brother Jack to race. That season she cleaned up and subsequently over 200 have been built since, originally all timber and more recently composite. This particular one is also from Uphams and is one of the nicest I've seen. Her survey in 2013 concluded "if this boat is maintained to the standards she is now she will be around and as good in 50 years time." She has clearly been loved - lots of renovation works took place around 2012 and since she has been well looked after and h... read more

The Twister needs little introduction. An outstanding long-keeled classic from the board of Kim Holman, with elegant lines and superb, well-mannered performance. These capable little cruisers have voyaged far and wide, and are just at home in the middle of an ocean as they are pottering around creeks and backwaters. This excellent example was completed by Uphams and has a lovely teak interior. A much loved boat only for sale due to owner's advancing years.

This 1991 boat is one of the few later examples of the all-GRP Twister, home completed to a very good standard by her first owner. She is well looked after and has a good inventory including recent new sails. She is for sale now only because the owners have bought an larger yacht - a Rustler 36 - another Holman long-keeler... read more

Designed by Kim Holman with speed in mind, Twisters are well known for their outstanding racing success and ocean going sailing abilities. This one, which in the past has won many racing prizes in Plymouth Sound, is built in the popular composite design, with a GRP hull and wooden topsides.
