Traditional

This easily trailable “pocket cruiser” is just a twinkle in my eye at the moment! Based on the Islander 17 hull with its known abilities. If anyone likes the Eider 23 and the ideas behind it, but wants a smaller boat, give us a call.

A new boat developed by Blaxton Boats using the Kingfisher Hull. Deck moulding with coachroof extending to topsides in the style of Maurice Griffiths. Internal heads and galley mouldings.

Arthur Cooksey has achieved something special here. I do not believe that I have ever seen a 23ft. displacement yacht that would slip so easily through the water. Designed with the sole purpose of giving sailing pleasure, her lines are a dream.

A quintessentially English traditional cruising yacht designed by Angus Primrose. Produced (I think only 4-6) by Deep Water Yachts in Scotland this boat has never had the publicity it deserves. I would be interested in any information about the company or any of the boats built, I believe, in the early eighties. Gaff cutter with topsail.

Colin Archer is revered as the designer of Norwegian sailing lifeboat. John Leather wrote the definitive biography of Colin Archer and listed all his designs, commented on them and descibed the worldwide influence of them. Jim Spencer, tall ships skipper & Brightlingsea boatbuilder, asked John Leather to draw the lines of a smaller version. Hence the Kattegat. Jim designed the rig,deck and accomodation lay-out, and built four before being sadly taken from us way before his time. We offer Jim’s layout with the option of a heads compartment in lieu of navigation area. We are developing a GRP deck which will can be used with either Jim’s flush deck and doghouse, or with a larger cabin top.

The Spray is renowned for its combination of space, stability, and seaworthiness. It is the first choice for many who aspire to deep water and long distance cruising, and liveaboard. Our mould was made to lines developed for double chine steel construction, whitch makes its volume for length quite astounding, and, incidentally simplifies fit-out considerably. We are now offering as “options”, either singly or together, modifications to bow and stern which are purely aesthetic and reduce somewhat the boxiness of the 28, which some people find attractive and others don’t! Together these ‘options’ add about 3ft to the L.O.D. hence the 31 version.

An evocative design which has neen attributed to Percy Dalton, and possibly marketed previously as Tamarisk 29. The Falmouth Working Boat is one of this country’s most respected traditions and this boat allows you to be part of that tradition whether your interest is cruising or racing. Can be completed as open boat with racing rig, or 5 berth cruiser with standing headroom in saloon and galley.

We are able to offer longer versions of the chine Spray up to about 36ft., plus, if requested, the aesthetic variations aforementioned. These extended Sprays are built individually to an agreed specification, and length, beam, sheer, topside height, keel width, draft, deck lay-out, etc., are all up for discussion. These boats can have one or two masted rigs.
