Out on the river Dart with Lola and Jo of Anglesey, both lovely boats sold by Wooden Ships in recent years

Mary Winifred is a boat we have had on the market for a long while and very surprisingly she has not sold despite lots of interest. She is a pilot cutter inspired yacht, built to a superb standard in 2014 and improved year on year by her diligent and competent owner. Sadly ill health has forced the owners hand and he is unable to continue with the boat so she must sell this summer. The owner is prepared to accept the best offer but will be keen she goes to someone who can give her a proper future and care for her correctly. This is an incredible boat, capable of world cruising if a new owner desired. This is going to be a great opportunity not to be missed.

Sometimes a yacht comes our way that for one reason or another makes us stop in our tracks with the sheer elegance and beauty of the design. Glengour is one of those, maybe not your stereotypical classic beauty with a long counter stern and low freeboard, but none the less a supremely elegant yacht, all the prettier because of the practicality of the design. Termed a 'fifty-fifty' cruiser by her Scottish designer, she is an ideal boat for the Western Isles with both inside and outside helm positions, big ketch rig and twin engines. She is less than 40' LOD but still has a spacious Thames Tonnage of 15TM meaning plenty of useable interior volume. After 25 years in the present very careful ownership, some other lucky soul has the chance to become the next custodian of Glengour and continue her story. Sensibly priced at £69,950 and lying in Scotland, full details in the link below:

The beautiful sound of a pair of Gardner 6LXB engines ticking over like sewing machines. This is on the Silvers Ormodale motor yacht Silver Sula that we are selling:

UK or the Med? On a photo shoot in Lymington today but we could be in the south of France!

There’s a lot of history packed into the nearly 130 years this yacht has been sailing. I wonder what her builders would have said if they knew she would last this long? Coming on the market later this year lying in the UK.

This little gem is a Herreshoff Islander class, a keel boat of 19’ length on deck built in the UK to a design from the office of Herreshoff. Very pretty, fast and great fun to sail l, she will be coming on the market very soon. Complete with 2 berths, a good size cockpit and an electric outboard in a well at the stern. The rig has been updated with new standing rigging, recent sails and a Harken furler for the jib making her easy to sail single handed. Complete with road trailer, this is a superb little day boat for some fun racing or simply pottering up and down the coast.
