Selina King was designed by Fred Shepherd and built by Harry King & Sons in 1938 for the author Arthur Ransome, the biggest yacht he had built. After passing through several owners and crossing the Atlantic, she was bought by the current owner while lying neglected in Bermuda and a major refurbishment commenced, ending with her being launched in 2023 at the same yard in which she was built in Suffolk. A largely rebuilt boat with lots of new equipment and hardware. Rich with history, this elegant yacht is rather special and will bring much joy to her next custodian.
The first of the Landfall ketch designs to be built, launched in 1958 and built for the yard owner, Claude Whisstock. Iroko planking on oak timbers. Easily handled bermudan ketch rig. 6 berths including a double in the forecabin with 6' headroom throughout. She has been cruising around the Atlantic, Caribbean and America for the last 15 years, and having now returned home the owners are moving ashore. November 2023 survey available.
33' sloop designed and built by Fantasi Yachts of Sweden, a yard known for high quality sailing yachts. This was one of the smaller boats in their range but is just as good in terms of build quality and materials used. Thorough professional refit in recent years included new mast and rigging, re-caulked decks, all new wiring and systems, new upholstery and good quality annual maintenance. 2024 refit including new deadwoods and keel bolts. Big volume yacht for her length with excellent headroom. 5 berths including a double up forward. Vetus 25hp diesel engine. Very capable cruising boat in fine condition.
The second Vertue ever built, Sally II was launched in 1937 by Elkins who went on to become a prolific builder of Vertue yachts. Planked in pitch pine with bronze strap floors, lead keel and bronze keel bolts, all first class materials. Shipwright owned for 30 years she has a good 2019 survey and has been a reliable and safe cruising boat on the Scottish west coast for her owner. The Vertue is an iconic design from the 20th century, perhaps the most successful small cruising boat ever and this is one of the special and sought after early examples of which only 8 were built.
