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.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Steel Gaff Cutter
The owner of this fine vessel conceived an idea of building a new gaff cutter based on the Lowestoft sailing trawlers.
Mylne Classic Yacht Design were engaged to produce the design and they took inspiration from the smaller of the Lowestoft sailing drifters.
The hull was built by Stal Komplex, Gdynia, Poland. The hull completed the RCD assessment and is CE approved to Category C for 15 persons.
Launched in 2017.
The interior fit out has been completed by the owner and since her launch she has been cruised around the Baltic and up to Norway.
A very strong and capable boat with a professionally built hull and excellent rig. The interior is comfortable and in use, but could be altered to suit a new owner and a new vessel purpose if desired.

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.

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.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Camper and Nicholson Motor Launch
Built in 1917 by Camper and Nicholson, this elegant motor launch has all the hallmarks of her era and is a simply stunning motor yacht.
Rebuilt by the Leopoldo Shipyard, Lake Como, between 2007-2010.
After arriving in the Mediterannean in the 1940’s she has had a varied history including being used as a coral fishing boat in Sardinia complete with hyperbaric chamber, and in 1976 she was a luxury transfer vessel for club Med guests and also featured in a notable French film.
In 2007 a major professional rebuild commenced under the current owners with no expense spared. The hull was stripped bare inside and out, any necessary hull repairs completed and a complete new deck structure fitted. All systems, machinery and equipment have been replaced to subtly introduce the modern world without destroying her patina.
A superb and unique motor yacht full of history, pedigree and class.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Commercial Dining Charter Vessel
This vessel is part of a successful local Falmouth based business and is now running for its sixth season offering harbour excursions with beautiful meals aboard a fine vessel.
The vessel was built by Curtis and Pape of Looe in 1971 as a fishing vessel.
Purchased by the current owners in a dilapidated state, she was given a thorough refit in 2018 and converted into the fine vessel she is today. Much of the hull planking and framing was replaced, the hull totally re-fastened, a new wheelhouse and deck layout fitted with all new systems and machinery bringing her up to the standard required.
As a platform for functions and group outings on the water she is excellent, mixing the charm and relaxing atmosphere of a traditional boat with all the modern systems and conveniences to ensure the guests time aboard is exactly as they wish.
Full details of the business available on request. This is an established business in the Falmouth area with a mix of returning customers and new clients. Trips are tailored to suit the needs of the client with options for various locations, lengths of trips and different times of day. She is licenced to operate in Falmouth and Helford. The vessel is a licenced bar to sell alcohol.
This business could be added to an existing hospitality establishment ashore as another option for guests, getting people afloat and seeing the local area from a different perspective, or taken on by an enthusiastic new owner to continue with the same very successful business model.

Wooden Ships Comments on this 18′ Nick Smith Traditional Motor Launch
18’ varnished clinker motor launch built by Nick Smith of Salcombe, a skilled and experienced boat builder who has a reputation for building exquisite motor launches. This boat was completed in 2021 and first launched in the spring of 2022.
His designs are based on the traditional working boats of Salcombe with a straight stem, full bilges and an elegant sheer line.
Derived from the inshore fishing boats of Salcombe, this launch is an excellent sea boat with the full bilges giving good internal volume and excellent stability, while the full bow sections and high sheer line make them dry boats and very capable at sea. They are also superb river boats, slipping along at hull speed with next to no wash and turning heads in any setting.
Fitted with a Beta 14hp diesel engine which will give an estimated 6 knots cruising speed.
Commonly these boats are built with a small aft deck and foredeck, however this one is completely open giving more useable interior space. In the bows is a large V-shaped thwart which provides ample seating space but also a safe step for stepping over the bow when coming into a pontoon.
Used for only 2 seasons and wintered ashore under cover. She comes with an excellent road trailer, all over cover, warps, fenders etc and is ready for immediate use.

Kasu .22 air rifle, an underlever with the sliding trap for loading. One problem for these guns is that one loaded you cannot unload, you have to fire into the ground to release the spring. And the pellet should always be loaded with a wooded pricker. Pick the pellet up with a toothpick type of loader and put the pellet in with it. £15 postal with royal mail and tracking so a door pick up with a reduction of the cost of postal. The gun needs some tlc but a good gun at any rate. The rear site needs to be seen to but it is all there....
A very powerful rifle that has been left in a damp place. There are NO sights on this gun.It had a laser sight that has been lost and the damp has created a rough barrel. I have fired it and the rifling inside is excellent. It also needs a sanding down and fresh varnish and blueing on the metal. A bit of grease and oil and it will turn into a major air rifle again. It would cost £15 royal mail postage but as it is pickup i will remove £15 off the top offer. ...
Richter OPTIK 4 x 40. A really nice set of sights, but all the caps are missing. First sensible offer above £5 will be accepted as the first fiver is postage with tracking....
Quite good tellies, but a bit used, but in very good condition. Model 9 with a fixed reticule that is ideal for a first sight "original 4 x 20. One end cap is missing. best offer over £10 secures with delivery included....
Webley and scott .22 webley cub. A really nice little rifle and the case is top grade in my opinion. £15 would be the cost of carriage with royal mail tracking, and because it is pickup only i will subtract the £15 from an accepted offer. The gun is number 0027647. It also has a very nifty safety....
This gun has been sat around for a long time but the spring and action is very good. Good condition all round . A bit of oil and cleaning up is all that is needed. Royal Mail with tracking will cost £15 but it has to be pickup so i will take £15 off of any offers. Quite a nice gun sac but too large for this gun but it will all go together....
SMK break barrel, this 12lb pressure air rifle has been laid up for years. Still in very good condition. Just needs a bit of TLC and a bit of oiling and greasing. The postage for this gun with post office tracking is £15. So because it has to be picked up at the door, any offers that are accepted will be reduced by £15. Best i can do. Also comes with a fur lined faux leather gun sac, with a mendable broken latch....
