We are very keen to take on more good quality sailing yachts and motor-sailers for sale on brokerage.

The Oyster Lightwave 395 is a light displacement high performance racer/cruiser. Oyster's own website describes them as "Exciting to sail, yet safe and simple, the 395 has a masthead rig, which is easy to handle while family sailing. Examples went to race under the CHS and have competed well as shorthanded racers, but the majority are now used for fast cruising".  This boat was initially raced by the present owner, but has now become very much a fast cruiser.

This Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 34.2 at £43,500 is a 1998 shallow fin keel version, just arrived back in Cornwall from a lengthy cruise to Portugal and back. With a full cockpit canopy, she had new standing rigging and a new ram-drive autopilot fitted in 2023. Ashore in Cornwall.

This Moody S31 at £39,500 is for sale only as the owner is now planning to buy a smaller motorboat. The photos here represent a very fastidious owner's idea of "end of season condition". This really is a very well looked after yacht. Afloat in Hampshire.

The Feeling 286 is a modern styled fast cruiser, this 'owners' version having one of the best double aft cabins you will find in a yacht this small. She offers excellent sailing performance plus an attractive and light interior with heating, fridge etc. Nominally six berth, she is ideal for two to four - actually cruising with six would be a real squeeze. Ashore in South Devon.

Is it a Swan? No, though also from Finland at £39,000 it's a Maestro 35 that shares much of Nautor Swan's build quality. A seriously seaworthy fast cruiser with deep lead keel, and a good double aft cabin under the cockpit. Just brought ashore in Cornwall.

This twin keel British Hunter Channel 31 at a reduced price of £37,500 is a David Thomas design that offers a remarkable combination of easy handling with good performance and the ability to dry out on her twin keels. Hunter always referred to these boats as "twin fin" rather than "bilge keel" to emphasise their performance. She is one of the few boats of this size to achieve a RCD Category 'A' rating even for the twin keeled version. She is very well equipped with electric windlass, chartplotter and digital radar, cabin heating and very good sails. Afloat in Devon.

PRICE REDUCED

One of the very last Westerly Seahawk 35 yachts built, this twin keel example has been in the present ownership for 18 years, and is now reluctantly for sale due to the owners inability to use her fully. Afloat in Cornwall, but due for liftout for a month or two in early November.

This Moody 31 Mk II from 1989 at a reduced price of £23,750 has excellent accommodation including a good-sized aft double cabin. This is one of the later-built Mk IIs, which have a sugarscoop stern. The hull is epoxied, and she has a good cruising inventory including Eberspacher heating, hot water and updated electronics. The owners have now bought a larger yacht, hence the recent price reduction - she offers really good value. Ashore in Hampshire.

PRICE REDUCED

The Moody 31 is one of the most popular of the smaller Moodys, with excellent accommodation including a good-sized aft double cabin. In the present much loved ownership for 14 years, she is for sale now only because of a bereavement. The inventory includes a barely used full cockpit canopy and davits, a recently fitted electric windlass, and internally she has newish upholstery and hot water.

At £28,000 a well equipped Contessa 32 - a classic cruiser-racer. This 1979 example has been in the same ownership for 30 years, has been re-engined, and has some nice additions such as a removable Neptune windvane self-steering gear, and telescopic aluminium beaching legs that can stow below. Afloat in Plymouth.

The Bavaria 34 is actually closer to 36 ft overall rather than 34 ft, and in the words of 'PBO' magazine, is ".... an ideal starter boat for a young family, as well as an easy to handle cruiser for a mature couple often cruising alone." This fin keel example has in-mast furling and is a well looked after and lightly used yacht

with a good cruising inventory including a recently installed bowthruster, large colour plotter and other new electronics. Afloat in Devon.


NOW UNDER OFFER

Built in 1982-84 and launched in 1985, this Tradewind 35 at £55,000 is a moderately heavy displacement long-keeled yacht with a Hydrovane self-steering gear and wind generator on the stern, and excellent sails. She was coppercoated in early 2021. Internally she is in nice condition, with good upholstery and Mikuni blown air heating. In the present ownership for 14 years, she is for sale now only because of a bereavement.

At a reduced price of £19,750 this Beneteau First 285 is a moderately fast boat for her size, whilst retaining a comfortable cruising interior with 6' 3" headroom in the saloon. This 1988 example is the shallow winged keel version and unusually for a yacht of under 30 feet has wheel steering. For sale now as the owner want to buy a larger yacht.

Now in only her second private ownership she is for sale as other commitments are giving less and less time for the owner to sail her. She has an uprated 20 hp Beta diesel with very low hours.

This sloop rigged 1979 Westerly 33 at £21,500 is a well maintained example of these solid, powerful cruising yachts. In the same ownership for over 25 years, she has been used for family cruising, and the present owner also sailed her in the 2009 OSTAR singlehanded transatlantic race, finishing third in class. She has a good inventory including a full cockpit tent, radar and autopilot, and the hull had a full osmosis treatment in 2017/18. Ashore in Hampshire, and price reduced as the owner is keen to sell as he has now bought his next boat.

This Southerly 100 at £36,000 is a Dick Carter design, one of the few really shallow draught modern yachts available. She has a pilot house with interior steering, and a cast iron ballast plate protecting the keel and bottom when grounding.

Ashore in Hampshire.

This one owner Malo 36 at £125,000 is a really high quality yacht offering an excellent balance of sailing performance, seakeeping and comfortable and beautifully finished accommodation.

This yacht feels bigger than her 36 ft nominal length, both on deck and down below. Afloat in Hampshire.

NOW SOLD

We sold this Rival 41 to the present owner in 2016, and she is now back on the market. She has had the original 48 hp engine replaced with a 65 hp, and she has a bowthruster and an Aries windvane. In the present ownership she has had new electronics and standing rigging, also expensive renewal of the teak toerails and rubbing strakes. Unusually for a Rival 41, this is a remarkably lightly used yacht, that has never done major mileages. Afloat in S. Wales.
