The popular bilge keel Mirage 28 makes an ideal family cruiser at a modest price. They are robust, well made and quite swift for a bilge-keeled boat of their era. Their deep, long cockpits have plenty of room, their clear side decks and uncluttered foredeck make them easy to move around, and the running rigging leads aft to make short-handed sailing a breeze, along with the assistance of an auto-tiller. The shallow draft makes them ideal for exploring local creeks, whilst down below, they offer comfortable and surprisingly spacious accommodation for their size, with a decent galley a... read more

This is a fantastic example of one of the most popular marques to come out of the Fairline yard. This Corniche 31 offers comfort, style and high performance.

The flybridge is well equipped with hydraulic steering, electronic morse controls, a good nav fit and plenty of seating for those who want to get the wind in their hair. The inner helm position also has good all-round visibility and plenty of space to chat to your passengers. I really like the accommodation layout on this version of the Corniche.

The Seawolf 30, also known as the Cobra S900/5, has a reputation as a popular cruiser and quick club racer, but also suited very well as a tidy family cruiser. She appears to be in good condition with all lines leading back to the cockpit. The owners inform me that there is a new tiller pilot that comes with the boat that has never been used. This boat has undergone a number of improvements and upgrades, especially below decks. The current owners told me that the previous owner was a very skilled carpenter and he literally transformed the boat inside. This can be clearly seen from the... read more

This vessel was once a fishing trawler and has been undergoing work to become a liveaboard boat. As can be seen from the media work, this boat is a project boat. She benefits from a fantastic position in the marina with easy access to the marina cafe, toilet and shower block and laundry facilities. The current owners have worked hard to open the boat up and clear the decks, leaving a blank canvas to develop the boat's cavernous interior into a spacious liveaboard. The only reason the current owners are having to sell this project boat is due to work commitments in London as their situ... read more

Designed by David Cannell, the Tamarisk 24 is based on a Falmouth working boat. These gaff cutters are both fast and seaworthy. With substantial displacement for their size they are equally at home creek crawling or making coastal passages.  Easily capable under sail of over six knots, these craft can easily surprise many a Bermudan rig sailor.  This boat is a beautiful example of these stunning looking vessels. She appears to have been very well maintained with ongoing maintenance and improvements by her current owner.  She is easy to sail short-handed and this example is well w... read more

The Halcyon 27 was designed and built in the classic tradition, with a deep, long keel and tough construction, capable of offshore cruising. These yachts are known for their seaworthy cruising capabilities and good performance in all sea conditions. Designed by Alan Buchanan and built by Offshore Yachts, these strongly built cruisers come with a long keel, a transom hung rudder and a well-earned reputation for good sailing performance. Although there are some similarities to the earlier folk boat designs, these have the added advantage of more interior space, headroom and general comfor... read more

Discover the charm and history of this unique houseboat! Constructed with durable steel and featuring a coach roof and superstructure constructed from heavy-gauge box-section steel tubes and clad in bespoke fibreglass panels. A superior and much more costly construction method than many others. The previous owner invested many hundreds of hours carrying out a full restoration of the vessel in 2012 and 2013. He replated the entire lower hull during this period and completely refitted the interior, and the current owners purchased the vessel in 2014. Five years ago, she was removed from... read more

The Fairline Targa 27 is a very popular sports cruiser, with the build quality you would expect.  This version is a tidy, nicely presented boat which appears to have been meticulously maintained by her current owner. She has been in the same ownership for many years and the current owner, being an ex-merchant navy engineer, has personally serviced and maintained both of her engines and outdrives. I think the pictures speak for themselves! Handling these boats has been said to be easy, with twin engines and a large, roomy cockpit which is also great for entertaining and relaxing. ... read more
