Mevagissey Tosher built by Gaffers and Luggers of Falmouth in 2014. This yard is known for the range of Heard boats, traditionally designed vessels built in GRP. This is the standard Heard 20' Mevagissey Tosher hull but fitted with a very elegant and eye catching 2 mast lug rig. She can set a power of sail when required, but can be easily reefed down making her easy to handle. Her owner regularly sails alone and has found the boat to be fast, manageable and extremely fun to sail. Large open cockpit with high coamings giving her a sense of security. Yanmar YM15 engine. Superb boat in lovely condition ready to sail away.
Saltram Saga 40 built in 1990 but not launched until 2006. Used little since then, she had new rigging in 2023 and a recent clean survey. Interior fitted out in solid teak to a very good standard. 6 berths including a double in the fore cabin with nearly 2m headroom. A very nice example of this capable offshore cruising boat offering a lot of capability, comfort and space for very reasonable cost. 2023 survey available.
Built in Ireland to fishing vessel specifications, the build was completed by an RNLI engineer and she was launched in 1991. A very robust hull of iroko planking on oak frames. RNLI alloy wheelhouse gives her a purposeful look. Her hull shape is unusually fine in the ends meaning she sails surprisingly well, this is not a blunt fishing boat hull. Interior fit out gives 6 berths in 2 sleeping cabins plus the saloon. New Beta 90hp engine in 2022. A large rig gives her surprisingly good performance under sail. New rigging 2018 and recent sails. A fantastic boat for northern climates, capable of long distance expedition sailing. Excellent 2024 survey available.
Harmony 31 designed by Van de Stadt and built by Tyler Boats in 1967. A typical yacht from the early years of GRP construction with a traditional design of a full displacement hull with a long keel. Ballast ratio of 42% with her 2 ton encapsulated lead keel. Renowned for the sailing capabilities and sea kindly attributes, these attractive looking cruising yachts are well sought after and have a wonderful reputation. This boat has benefitted from some very diligent owners in recent years. She was epoxied and had a new engine in 2015, new sails and rigging in 2025 plus up to date navigation instruments, lots of equipment and a smart interior fit out. This boat represents exceptional value for money and is absolutely ready for her new owner to sail away.
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.
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.
Camper & Nicholson were very sharp during the transition from wood to GRP and could see what the future was bringing. This Nicholson 36 was one of their early forays into GRP construction, designed by Charles Nicholson and actually built for Peter Nicholson. Because of their inexperience with the new material, they had the hull moulded by Halmatic who were the UK experts at the time. The design is typical of the C&N yachts of the time with elegant lines, and was finished with a painted wooden deck and varnished mahogany cockpit and superstructure so she looks like a true classic yacht. 7 berths with 1.84m headroom. Easily handled yacht, well mannered and very capable in classic yacht regattas.
The Pioneer 9 is a robust, seaworthy classic yacht designed for serious cruising and blue-water sailing, often praised for its solid build quality, stability in rough seas, and manageable sailing characteristics. Reviews highlight its strength, good performance for its size, and ability to handle heavy weather, making it a reliable choice for offshore voyages despite its age.
Designed by Maurice Griffiths, this GRP example of the class was professionally built by Terry Erskine Yachts in 1976. A big volume, practical, safe and comfortable cruising boat, she has had only 2 owners since new and has been in the present ownership for over 26 years. Major refit around 2001 with new engine, systems, rig and interior. Well maintained since and used regularly for cruising from her Cornwall base. Sadly advancing years force her sale. Currently ashore and easy to view. A good honest boat.
