Who fancies owning and bringing a classic, well proven and pretty little racer cruiser back to her former glory? When Jeremy Rogers and David Sadler got their heads together and organised the building of the GRP Contessa 26, they produced a classic small racer/cruiser capable of sailing inshore, offshore or across the oceans and around the globe. Although this example has sat safely on a yard unused for a considerable time and is in need of some t.l.c. and updating to get her back on the water, there is a pretty good package here for a budding enthusiast. This vessel had a refit back in 2006... read more

Big sister to the popular Cirrus 22 & designed by John Butler with not only speed in mind but also the ability to involve the family in weekend sailing, the Westerly Tiger came with foam backed headlining and running water. A real treat back in the early 1970s. The original engine was replaced with a 10hp Beta Marine engine and although the head-linings in this old girl need a bit of attention, overall, she appears to be in good condition for her age. Built to last, this would make for a good, solid family cruiser at a very reasonable price. The current owner does not have time to get out ont... read more

Back in it's hay day, the O'day was the 25 footer of choice out in the USA and with over 2500 sold, it was a best seller. This version, suitable for deep water sailing or shoal and estuary sailing, has an incapsulated lead weighted keel with a lifting centre board. Although the upholstery could do with updating, she is stiff, well balanced and forgiving. An easy boat to sail. She was built with racing and serious cruising in mind and for a boat of her length, she seems to have plenty of room both in the cockpit and down below. The side decks are also wide and easy to move around. The taber... read more

Although she might appear a bit rough and not quite ready at the moment, this could soon change in the hands of an enthusiastic new owner. For a twin engined craft of her size, build and price, this is a... read more
