Remarks : This Trapper 500 has been in the same ownership for 20 years and has been maintained to a high standard, she boasts a Yanmar 2GM engine which was new in 2004 and regularly maintained. She has had a new mainsail from 2021 which has very little use due to the pandemic. Owners Remarks: I have sailed Riff Raff very enjoyably and comfortably, mostly day sailing from Plymouth with some weekends and weeks cruising on the South coast between Brixham and Falmouth. For her size, I found her a nippy sailor and seaworthy - though never tested in heavy weather. ... read more

Remarks : The International Dragon, first designed in 1929, does not need an introduction. WANDERER is a wonderful example and has had a very interesting and colourful life, starting in Denmark under the name of CRAZY VI, and then shipped to Hong Kong in the 1970’s, and renamed WANDERER. She raced successfully in and around Hong Kong, and benefitted from her Borresen pedigree, known for building quick and stiff boats. She was re-imported to the UK in 2007 and has since been epoxy sheathed with clear epoxy to minimize maintenance and weight and to maximize stiffness and performance, w... read more

The Westerly Griffon is a 26ft (7.9m) 6 berth, 2 cabin GRP sailing sloop, designed by Ed Dubois as a more modern, better-performing replacement for the older Westerly Centaur design. Griffons were built from 1979 to 1989, with three models - Mk I, Mk II and Club variants. The Mk II has a better appointed quality interior with a very useful central table, as well as the bigger 20hp BUKH engine and a taller more efficient rig. The only possible reason to buy a Mk1 is that there are no MkIIs available! The Griiffon is an excellent cruising boat. It is an optimum size for sea going capabi... read more

There are not many of these useful little cruisers around now. Very solidly built, a very cheap first weekend cruiser. The high prow keeps her very dry in a seaway and there is a large boat feel down below. Simple reefing when shorthanded with a lot of the power coming from the large genoa, extended with an attractive bowsprit. Motors easily at five knots thanks to a three bladed prop, engine rebuilt in 2017. A very tidy boat for the year. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered. Register with Boatshed to see 38 extra photos of th... read more

Bavaria 31 (Shoal draught version) - 2000 - £43,950 The Bavaria 31 was produced for 3 years from 1999 and should not be confused with the later Bavaria 30. The earlier hull is longer and narrower with a consequently more spritely performance to windward, as well as featuring a larger transom step that provides for more convenient and safer transfer to/from a tender while at anchor or on moorings.  With 6 berths in two double cabins, plus 2 good saloon berths, Eberspacher cabin heating and hot water, this Bavaria 31 would make an excellent starter boat, or a perfect choice for someo... read more

1993 Beneteau Oceanis 351.  £43,950    The Oceanis 351 was an extremely successful design; at one point being acclaimed as the most popular 35 footer in Europe. While many of those examples were sold for charter operations of course, 'Maeve' has always been in private ownership and appears to have been well spec'd by a succession of experienced and discerning owners. The underwater sections have been epoxied and she benefits from a new Z spars mast and replacement of the standing rigging in 2018, along with much of the running rigging at the same... read more

Westerly Kestrel 35, 1993 - Keenly priced at £34,950. The aft-cockpit version of the Dubois-designed 34/35' hull offer a super blend of ergonomic deck layout and space with a generous accommodation, good headroom throughout and two heads' compartments for absolute night time privacy at either end of the boat and spacious, comfortable communal space amidships. The precursor of the Oceanquest AC, the Kestrel 35 had the upgraded teak-finished internal woodwork of the later incarnation, but teak-sheathed decks was an optional extra (unlike her later sisters) which is ironic in that it is that s... read more

Cornish Crabbers' Bermudan Pilot Cutter 30 - 1995 - £64,950 'Aliesje' is a one-off and represents a super opportunity for someone that appreciates just what they are looking at. Back in the mid 1990's, upon his purchase of the Cornish Crabbers business, the new Managing Director of the time (who is half Dutch) recognised that in the moth-balled Cornish Cutter 30 moulds he had an asset that had been significantly under-utilised and, as a priority, he immediately had the moulds refurbished. He felt that there was latent demand for traditionally styled boats, but didn't accept that they ... read more
