There seems to be very little that could be added to this Moody 44. Although dating from 1993 she has been upgraded and refurbished over the years and represents superb value. She has a huge amount of living space and is an extremely comfortable boat. Capable of good passage making she would be equally at home as a coastal cruiser or a blue water boat. All this plus that desirable Yanmar. Her present owner purchased her with a view to semi retirement and long distance cruising however he realises he is now unable to continue with his plans so the opportunity is there for someone else to follow... read more

A One Tonner which benefits from a Kevlar skinned composite hull, new engine in 2010 and new rod rigging in 2009 and which has been well maintained by the present owners. Spacious if slightly austere interior which is clean and would be good for cruising as well as racing. These boats don't appear very often but are ever popular especially to the racing community. There is a keen local racing community in Portishead where she is presently berthed if that is something which floats your boat to join in with. She has proved to be extremely competitive and won three local series during 2014. She c... read more

The Tela marque is small enough to be towed behind the average family car and fit into a garage, but big enough to feel like a proper yacht. This day boat has been scarcely used, it looks almost brand new. It is sold complete with a purpose-built trailer and a Mariner outboard. As a gaff rigged day boat the Tela not only looks beautiful but can carry several people. It is renowned for its superb balance and easy control. It will sail in the lightest of airs, and its minimal draught with the dagger board up makes shallow rivers and creeks very accessible. Owner's Manual included Note: Offers on... read more

With nearly 600 HP at your fingertips this is a seriously fun boat. The current owner saw the potential to convert this craft into a comfortable liveaboard. A good start has been made and the forward cabin is taking shape. However, a change in circumstances has meant that completion will fall to the next owner. There is still much to be done and this leaves options open for personal style of fittings and design. The forward cabin is wide and spacious with a heads en suite. Access to the aft cabin is via a vertical ladder which won't suit everyone. Once there, the cabin has great potentia... read more

Stepping onboard on a lovely sunny day this boat was very welcoming with all of it lovely well cared for wood both inside and out. She is a tidy boat that with continued care will provide some wonderful sailing. Owners comment: I've owned her since April 2016. I bought her in Liverpool and sailed her down to Portsmouth where I've used her for local sailing in the Solent. Great fun boat, easy to handle, loads of sail options with the twin forestays and self tacking jib boom. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered. Register with Boatshed ... read more

This vessel has been used for blue water cruising. It has a fin and bulb keel and spade rudder. The current owner has upgraded the electrics but still prefers to crank the German-made engine to start it (see video). She appeared dry and sound inside but the saloon upholstery, whilst serviceable, could do with replacing. Van de Stadt yachts are renowned for their sailing performance whilst retaining a simplicity of design. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

There are several small cruising boats that have gained reputations as safe and capable offshore designs.

This particular boat is a quality Northshore build and fit out and she appears to have been well maintained and cared for since. She has just come ashore (October 2017) and lo... read more
