CRUISING YACHTS
Maxi 1300 £260,000 Lymington
Unmistakable good looks from Pelle Petersen, made flesh by the Maxi team in 2007. Equipped with blistering performance, all the creature comforts and masses of space for cruising toot. Serious nautical makeover of late including sails, engine, paint and stacks more. Perfect for all things yachting.
Oyster 42’ £149,500 Lymington
Handsome Holman & Pye Oyster from 1999, she has been sparingly used for local cruising and cherished all the while. Despite her modest dimensions she is all Oyster with terrific build quality and detailing, to go with her robust and sensible systems. Compact for our waters yet capable of blue water too, given the chance.
Swan 44’ £150,000 Lymington
S&S and the Nautor crew in 1973, the 44’ is one of the benchmark sailing yachts of all time with her astonishing build, heart stopping good looks and captivating sailing performance. A monster refit in 2015 included rig, engine and stacks more. Fantastic fast blue water cruising yacht, one of the prettiest yachts on the planet.
Oyster 575 £895,000 New Zealand
From 2011, built for these experienced owners for a voyage to the Southern Hemisphere, she comes with a thoughtful and well conceived spec. Mission accomplished, she is letting a freighter take the strain for her return trip and will be available to see, touch and write a cheque for in Europe soon.
Bluewater 476 £195,000 Scotland
With iconic Pedrick lines, these designs started life as the Nicholson 476. This yacht was the second of 2 built by Sherlock Marine, beautifully in 1999. 2019 saw a nautical makeover of wallet blenching scale – sails, rig, electronic wizardry, MCA coding and stacks more. Never chartered or ridden hard.
Elan Impression 434 £119,500 Lymington
Rob Humphreys drew the sweet lines and Elan did the business in 2006. This is not just any old 434, she is a fully blue water prepared, ready for oceans, comfortable mile muncher that is now ready to put in the sea time. Fantastic liveable interior meets practical deck layout. Magic carpet material of surprisingly modest cost.
Southerly 420 £395,000 Lymington
Rob Humphreys provides the pace, and the masters of the variable draft do their thing, she hatched in 2012. Smart light grey topsides livery, goes with warm mahogany innards and she comes with a deck saloon for vision when below. Cherished since Day One, a versatile sailing yacht with fine British build.
Bowman 57’ €275,000 Ireland
Holman & Pye and Bowman from 1976, she is a ketch of pedigree and great beauty that has taken her sailors far and done much. Much uprated and updated by these owners, like a fine wine, her best is yet to come. She will be crossing oceans, munching miles and delighting her sailors for many more years to come.
