Wooden Ships Comments on this G.L. Watson Gaff Cutter
Designed by G.L. Watson and according to the Greenock Herald, she was launched on 24th April 1887 from the yard of Thomas Orr Jr. from his Greenock yard on the Clyde.
Rebuilt by the Chantier Bernard in St Vaast, France. Relaunched in 2017.
The yacht was built to a commission for Robert Cowan Robertson who was a student at the Glasgow School of Art and an exact contemporary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
The commission was No.134 for Watson with lines based on those of the Loch Fyne Skiff type fishing vessels which have a very distinctive stern, generous freeboard and a straight stem.
One of her defining features is her interior and most of the salon joinery is original. Her elaborate decor was a result of Robertsons wealth and artistic inclinations and is characteristic of Clydeside fashionable interiors of the time. One of her most notable features is a pair of stained glass sliding panels depicting a stylised Scottish thistle very much in the ‘Glasgow’ style, and although highly unusual for a yacht interior, they represent the true essence of this yacht, her history and her period.
The raised and fielded oak panelling, fluted pilasters, Ionic capitals and egg and dart cornice throughout the saloon represent the highest possible standard of joinery.
Bought by the present owner in 2009, there then started a major rebuild of the boat involving every facet of the hull, rig, systems and interior. The keel came off, stem replaced, 80% new planking and frames. Complete new deck structure and interior replaced or refurbished with all new systems and a complete new rig. This remarkable rebuild was imagined by the yachts eccentric owner whos ambition, vision and drive have helped give a new lease of life to this unique yacht.
The yacht was launched again in 2017.
This yacht is a completely unique piece of maritime history, unusual in her design, rich in history and pedigree and with a stunning interior first conceived and fitted over 125 years ago.

Falmouth Pilot Cutter Pellew For Sale
Wooden Ships Comments on this traditional pilot cutter for sale
VAT will be charged on the sale of this vessel. This can be reclaimed by a purchasing company that is VAT registered.
Pellew was built by Luke Powell and his Working Sail Yard in Truro, Cornwall, and launched in February 2020.
The lines were taken from the Vincent, a Falmouth Pilot cutter built in 1852 for the Vincent family of St Mawes. She worked for 70 years as a pilot boat, finally retiring in 1922 and ending her days as a houseboat on the Percuil River very close to the yard where she had been built.
When the idea to build a new pilot cutter of considerable size, a 68ft boat, was born, the lines of Vincent were seen as the ideal basis and the project to build Pellew began. Her keel was laid in 2017, and less than 3 years later, she was launched to begin a career as a commercial charter vessel.
The sailing yacht was designed and built from the very start to comply with the MCA regulations and has been constructed to MCA Category 0 standards so that she can operate worldwide. She is currently coded to Category 2 (60Nm from safe haven), but with extra safety and communication gear, she is eligible for Category 0. She is fastened throughout with bronze and copper and is planked in oak top to bottom, so has been built to last from the best available materials.
Charter boat for sale
Pellew is an extremely tough and capable sailing yacht but also elegant and graceful. She works well as a charter boat, offering awe-inspiring holidays on the west coast of Scotland, but she could very well be used as a sail training vessel or for expedition voyages to remote parts of the world.
She has 8 guest berths and is licenced for 15 persons in total with a comfortable crew cabin aft, large saloon, guest accommodation forward and 3 heads compartments with showers. Her commercial-grade galley can easily cater for a full complement of crew with a large fridge and freezer, dishwasher and oven.
This is the biggest sailing boat to have been built in wood in the UK for many years and was a landmark project, the result is a superb vessel that will survive for decades to come, and this is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a new sailing boat of this size and type

Wooden Ships Comments on this Liverpool Class Lifeboat
Liverpool Class RNLB built by Groves & Guttridge Ltd, Cowes, in 1939.
She served as the lifeboat for Cloughey, Co. Down with a well documented service record.
After being sold out of the RNLI in 1966, she was used as a private motor launch.
Between 2010 and 2012 she underwent a major restoration in the hands of Nelsons Boats, a yard specialising in lifeboats. She was put back as close as possible to her original service condition by sourcing as many original parts, features and fittings as possible. She was re-engined with an almost new Ford 4D. The hull was found to be in excellent condition with no structural repairs required during the refit period.
This vessel is a living and working piece of maritime history in excellent condition, very capable and tough with legendary sea keeping qualities. She is not equipped with the luxuries of a modern yacht and as such offers a different type of boating but she does it with style. Complete with forward tent offering a dry cabin with 2 berths when required.
The boat is on the National Register of Historic Ships and is eligible to fly their dedicated ensign.
This is a remarkable boat with many original features and fittings. Clean survey from 2021 available.
Currently in undercover storage at the vendors home with facilities to lift onto transport.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Danish Topsail Schooner
Built in Denmark by Ustrup of Vejle in 1934.
Originally built as a fishing vessel for gill net fishing, she is typical of the Danish designed vessels of the period with a bluff bow, sweeping sheer line and an elegant elliptical counter stern. Launched with the name MIAS, she worked out of Hvide Sande with the fishing number RI100. Sold to the UK in 1979 where she fished out of Sunderland, before moving to Maryport in 1987. She continued fishing until purchased by the present owners in 1996.
Converted to her current configuration by her shipwright owner between 1996-2000, she carries an eye catching topsail schooner rig and has an MCA Category 2 commercial licence for 12 persons. During the initial conversion all her hull fastenings were doubled up with approximately 10% of the oak hull planking replaced along with most of the deck beams, carlins and then a new deck laid.
Very nicely fitted out below decks with 8 berths including 2 doubles and 4 singles. Laminated teak bath in the heads compartment.
She has cruised over the last 25 years as a family boat and as a charter vessel, exploring the Irish Sea, Scotland, Ireland and Brittany.
A superb little ship that doesn’t need a large crew to handle her, ideal for continued charter work or sailing as a private yacht. She has excelled appearing in various films and TV productions with her rig making her very attractive to the productions crews looking for something a bit special. She also has the visual impact to command appearance fees for the various boat festivals around the UK where she is a regular attendee.

Wooden ships Comments on this De Vries Lentsch Blue Water Ketch
Designed by De Vries Lentsch and built by Dutch luxury yacht builder Dik Van der Heiden in 1987 as a blue water ocean cruising yacht, specifically designed as a comfortable and capable yacht for extended family cruising.
In only her 3rd ownership, this yacht has travelled many thousands of miles around the globe, crossing the Atlantic numerous times and served as a cruising home for a young family. Designed and built to withstand the rigours of ocean sailing, her hull is immensely strong and her sheltered centre cockpit makes her a very safe boat at sea. The ample deck space and cavernous interior make for very comfortable live aboard conditions as she has proved over the years.
Continual upgrades and improvements in recent years include a new teak deck in 2014, new teak coachroof decks in 2019, engine rebuild 2019 plus new generator, batteries and a water maker.
This is a serious live aboard cruising yacht with excellent pedigree and provenance, more than capable of setting off again around the world be it with a family or single handed.

Wooden Ships comments on this Max Oertz Bermudan Cutter
44′ bermudan cutter for sale designed by Max Oertz and built by Hans Heidtmann, Hamburg in 1925.
Max Oertz was the Kaisers naval architect and was responsible for the Kaisers own yachts, Meteor IV and Meteor V, as well as numerous 10m rule yachts and his big schooner Germania.
This design was very advanced for her time and an unusual design but proved to be fast and sea-worthy, winning the North Sea Race and the Kieler Woche in the late 1920s. She later moved to the UK and was in the ownership of the Blewitt family for many years (Mary Blewitt of RORC fame) and later owned by Maurice Laing, who operated her as a sail training vessel in Scottish waters.
After a complete rebuild in the mid 1990s, she was purchased by the current owners in 2007, who have continued to update and maintain the boat to a very high level. A full list of recent works is available upon request but includes a new engine, new teak deck, new sails, new ballast keel and keel bolts and an updated interior.
Since 2007 she has been raced regularly in classic sailing regattas proving to be a fast, comfortable boat and a real head turner. Her large sail area and long waterline length make her a fast boat but still easily handled and suitable for family cruising.
A superb sailing yacht with a fully documented history, well maintained and up to date, ready for the season.

Wooden Ships Comments on this International Six Meter GBR32
International Six Meter racing yacht built to Rule 2.
Designed by Johan Anker and built by Anker and Jensen in 1931.
She was built as the personal yacht of Johan Anker and in her he won the Scandinavian Gold Cup in Gothenburg in 1931. In 1932 she was sold to the great helmsman Magnus Konow who won the Gold Cup and the One Ton Cup. In 1933 she was sold to the UK and was converted for cruising around 1935 and spent much of her time after this on the Hamble.
In 2003 she was purchased by a well known member of the meter boat community, rebuilt and raced successfully at various events around Europe.
Purchased by the current owner in 2019 she then went through a major refit involving serious structural repairs and improvements, a complete new rig and all new systems. Clare Lallows yard on the Isle of Wight, together with an experienced yacht surveyor, completed a structural refit including new planking, frames and rudder replacement.
The yacht is now offered in full racing trim, optimised to a very high level and fully equipped for racing in the 6 meter series.
Top professionals have been engaged at all stages of the design and build to ensure the hull, rig and systems are as good as they could possibly be. The rig was designed in conjunction with various people including Tim Dean Consultancy Ltd.
Now under UK flag, this 6mR yacht is sailing under the sail number GBR31. Raced at the 2023 Worlds in Cowes and finished 11th overall.
Offered for sale individually, but could be bought as part of a pair in conjunction with Abu. The systems, rigs and racing set up are identical on each boat making for exciting sailing as part of a team.
Available to view as part of an open day of the yard near Southampton on 17th August 2025

Wooden Ships Comments on this International Six Meter GBR31
International 6 meter racing yacht SILVERVINGEN built to Rule 3. Designed by Tore Holm and built by Hagerstens Batvarv, Sweden in 1939.
At the outbreak of WWII, Silvervingen was laid up and not sailed until after the war. Tore Holm designed a cruising interior and small coachroof for her, but she went on to race successfully throughout the 1940’s and 1950’s under various different names.
Purchased in 2004 by the previous owner, Silvervingen was in a sorry state and needing a thorough rebuild. Over a 9 year period the deck was removed and the hull slowly put back into shape to reinstate the original sheer line. The wooden keel was replaced and new ballast keel bolts fitted. Over 70 frames were replaced in streamed oak and all the galvanised plate floors were renewed. A new deck was fitted with 12mm plywood overlaid with Oregon pine.
She was then sold into UK ownership and a major period of upgrading commenced to optimise the yacht for racing in the 6m series. The basic boat was in excellent condition and needed little structural repair, but the rig was renewed entirely, the deck hardware layout professionally re-designed and all new electronic systems fitted.
Top professionals have been engaged at all stages of the design and build to ensure the hull, rig and systems are as good as they could possibly be.
Now under UK flag, this 6mR yacht is sailing under the sail number GBR31. The boat was raced in the 2023 6m Worlds and finished 3rd overall in the Classic Division. This is a yacht at the top of her game, in superb condition and fitted out to a supremely high level.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter Marguerite
Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter built by Rowles of Pill near Bristol in 1893.
The build was commissioned by pilot Frank Trott at a cost of £500, she went on to be a very successful pilot boat and regatta winner in the annual pilot cutter races around the Bristol Channel.
In 1900 she became known as the ‘boat with the new boom’ after she was fitted with the first example of the famous Appledore roller reefing system which went on to become commonplace on all pilot cutters, enabling the mainsail to be reefed easily even in heavy weather. She still sports her original Appledore gear on the boom, overhauled and improved with grease nipples to enable regular greasing of the moving parts.
After retiring from her working life, she became a private yacht and then charter yacht, eventually ending up in the Caribbean as a charter vessel. She was sold here and moved to Covey Island Boatworks in Nova Scotia where a major rebuild commenced in the 1990’s involving all new frames and planking, new deck and refitted rig and interior.
She was sold in 2000 to the current owners, experienced wooden boat custodians and sailors, who have cruised her across the Atlantic and back, around Britain and taken part in numerous classic yacht regattas and events. She is a regular fixture around the West country coast spending recent years between Falmouth, the Scillies and Padstow.
One of the largest of the surviving original Pilot Cutters, a well respected and admired yacht with a great pedigree and history. She stands apart from many of the pilot cutters with her large and comfortable cockpit which is ideal for cruising, and her spacious homely interior which has far better headroom than most of her contemporaries.

Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter Breeze For Sale
Wooden Ships Comments on the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter Breeze
Breeze was built by Coopers of Pill in 1887 as a Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter, one of the smaller sailing boats in the fleet, a 39ft sailing boat, and thought to be the only surviving example of a Coopers-built cutter.
Pilot cutter For Sale
Breeze languished for many years before being bought by the current owner and given to RB Boatbuilding in Bristol for restoration. Her proper lines were established to put the correct shape back into the boat, and she was rebuilt from the bottom up between 2014 and 2016. This was a total restoration. Only several small parts of the original sailing boat were left, including the mast step and part of the main beam with the official number carved into it.
All the planking, 99% of the frames, deck, interior and systems are new. The mast was used again, but the rest of the rig was replaced.
Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter
Breeze is now in superb condition inside and out, and a very pretty and fast cutter that can be easily handled by two people rather than needing a large crew as is required on the bigger boats. Interestingly she was fitted with twin electric motors and a large generator, a very satisfactory solution to the problem of where to place a prop shaft on a boat that was never designed to have one.
The interior is stunning with 7 berths including a double in the saloon, finished in varnished oak. The large skylight makes her light and airy, access through the hatch is simple as the cabin sole and cockpit sole are not too different in height.
A very rare chance to own an original Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter, a piece of our maritime heritage that has been totally restored and is ready to sail away.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Laurent Giles Dyarchy Gaff Cutter
Built in 1996 by the current family owners, professional shipwrights and highly experienced in the boat trade having project managed and built numerous ocean going racing yachts, including Maxi and Americas Cup yachts.
This Laurent Giles design is known as the Dyarchy after the first boat built to these lines based on the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter. This is a stretched version of the original Dyarchy drawn up by Laurent Giles and Partners for the current owner creating a very fast, spacious and low maintenance classic yacht.
This yacht was designed and built from the outset to be a tough, low maintenance and capable cruising boat, her construction makes her incredibly spacious due to not having large frames inside the hull, strong and durable. With a thick strip plank hull, sheathed inside and out with epoxy glass cloth from new, the quality of the build is second to none. The scantlings of the construction, rig and fittings make her a very robust, tough and capable yacht that could sail anywhere in the world.
She has cruised extensively around the Bristol Channel, Ireland, Scilly Isles and English Channel. She has also taken part in plenty of classic race events with notable success including:
-Won the Cock of the Bristol Channel race twice
-Line honours in the Pilot Cutter Falmouth to Fastnet Rock Race
-Winner of Falmouth Classics large gaffers class 6 times and best dressed vessel
-Winner of Pilot Cutter review 2024
Whether it is family cruising and some regatta racing, or a full blown expedition adventure to a far flung corner of the world, this is a yacht which can do it all with ease. Her incredible strength and quality of build means she will take her crew anywhere in the world and will require minimal maintenance over the coming years. The modern wood epoxy hull construction has distinct benefits that will appeal to the modern classic yacht owner but with very traditional rig and looks.

Hull
Strip plank Douglas Fir of 1.5” (38mm). Bonded with epoxy glue.
Hull sheathed in epoxy glass cloth both inside and out. Heavy cloth lay up in the keel area of 12mm multi-axial and uni-directional cloth for added strength.
Topsides finished with 2 pack Awl Grip gloss refinished September 2024. Below waterline hull stripped and refinished in September 2024 with International Intersleek 970 3 pack system.
Massive laminated douglas fir floors across the centreline of 8” wide and 20” deep. 6mm of uni-directional glass cloth across the tops of the floors, running up to the top of the hull and picking up the chain plates where applicable. Floors then sheathed entirely in bi-directional glass cloth down to the keel with galvanised angle fittings bolted through the floors and picking up the keel bolts.
External iron ballast keel of 9 tons fastened with galvanised steel keel bolts. Bolts are 24mm studs tapped into the ballast keel.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Fred Parker Motor Yacht
Designed by Fred Parker and built by Nunn Bros. of Woodbridge in 1959 to Lloyds 100A1 standard.
Bought by the present owners in 2013, they started a major refit that would last until 2017, covering every facet of the boat and her systems. Full details of the refit work are below, but in summary the hull was rebuilt, new decks laid, interior removed and refitted with much new joinery and complete new systems and machinery.
The attention to detail found on this yacht is astounding, accomplished with the keen eye of owner and boat builder who both desired to create a very special yacht. She was awarded Runner Up prize in the Classic Boat awards 2019.
Since her launch in 2017 she has been kept on the west coast of Scotland and has been cruised extensively each summer around the Highlands and islands. She has spent every winter in a custom built tent where the owner has lavished care and attention on the boat, keeping her up to the exceptional standard they desire.
The volume and space on this yacht is hard to portray in photos. She has a very generous beam and freeboard which both combine to give a distinct feeling of space and comfort. With a large aft cockpit, double doors into the wheelhouse and a large saloon she has a vast amount of living space. With 6’6” headroom through most of the boat there are few people who will struggle to be comfortable in this yacht. Her large fore cabin gives 3 single berths plus there is a good sized double berth in the saloon which could be made more private if desired. Cabin heating, hot water and 240v power supply make this yacht a real home from home to cruise in comfort whatever the weather.
She has proved herself as an excellent sea boat as well, cruising economically at 6-7 knots and never giving any cause for concern regardless of the weather. The bow thruster fitted in the refit helps with handling in close quarter situations and there is excellent all round visibility from the helm. A discreet CCTV camera on the forward mast aids the helms person in tight confines.
This is a superbly presented and very well maintained cruising motor yacht with a detailed recent refit history. There are very few truly turn key boats on the market and this is without doubt one of those yachts.
Offered for sale in full sea going condition with a large inventory of equipment.
2023 insurance survey available.

Owners Comments
We fell in love with Fortuna II when we first saw her moored in Exeter canal basin, although it was clear that much work was needed to bring her back to life. We enjoyed working with Charlie Hussey at Baltic wharf and the whole process of restoring Fortuna II to a very high standard. Fortuna II featured in Classic Boat Magazine in October 2018 and in spring 2019 when she was awarded Runner Up in the Classic Boat Awards for restoration of the year of a motor vessel over 40ft.
Fortuna II has enabled us to cruise the West of Scotland and the Hebrides in comfort and style each summer for the last six years. She has taken us to many remote anchorages and the pilot house has allowed us to view the scenery and wildlife at close quarters in comfort. She has ample storage space for fuel, water and supplies to enable extended cruising. She is safe and seaworthy on passage and comfortable at anchor even in foul weather. We feel that she would be ideal for another couple or family. Fortuna II is a real head turner where ever we go and is great in classic regattas. Alternatively, she would make a wonderful mothership to classic yacht racing with ample room for entertaining.
We have maintained her meticulously and stored ashore under cover each winter. Having enjoyed Fortuna II for the last eleven years, we feel the time has come for us to move on to new adventures.

Description
A 70ft portholed traditional narrowboat built in 1992 by Roger Fuller of Five Towns Boatbuilding. Roger Fuller is regarded by many as one of the finest builders of his era. "Arabia" was originally powered by a Kelvin J3; having purchased the boat in 2010, the previous owner installed a factory fully restored Russell Newbery DM2 in 2016 and continued an exhaustive programme of refurbishment including some minor refitting, maintenance and a complete re-paint of the hull (Epoxy) and superstructure. Excellent full "out of water" insurance survey Nov 2021 : Boat Safety Certificate to Sept 2029. With the ever increasing cost of materials these characterful, bespoke narrowboats of such quality and fine steelwork are increasingly sought after as they are rarely built today.

A fine 70ft traditional narrowboat, the hull being originally comissioned by the owners of Merlin Narrowboats (Braunston) in 2005 and fitted by themselves to an exacting standard for their own use as a comfortable liveaboard. The Gardner 2LW engine is one of approximately 30 built by Gardner throughout the 1990s and was removed from their previous boat and installed in the dedicated engine room. "Caliburnum" features many extras rarely found on boats built today - the hull, for example, has a chined 15mm baseplate making for better handling and easier mooring on the shallower canals. The current owner has fastidiously maintained the boat in excellent condition including a full professional repaint by Andy Russell and now presents her for sale in fine condition even including a full tank of diesel.
