Boatshed Lancashire are pleased to offer this popular Virgo Voyager with its unique junk rigged sail. Designed by Roy Lunney for Newbridge Boats, the Virgo Voyager is a strongly constructed small cruiser, with excellent accommodation. The high freeboard and cabin top needed to achieve this is disguised considerably by the styling. This is a nice tidy example that has been well maintained by the present owners who have used her predominantly in Scotland for the past 10 years. She comes out of the water every winter and the sail and running rigging are removed and cleaned ready for the following... read more

This is a lovely example of a real classic "pocket rocket". A fast cruiser optimised by Holman & Pye for the IOR rule, the Oyster 26 was one of the most popular of the early models, with 47 being built between 1978 and 1981. With her heavy fin keel and transom hung rudder, the Oyster 26 is fast, stiff and easy to handle. This example is in excellent condition and has been really well maintained over the years. She was first launched in September 1979 under sail number GBR (K) 7203. All the sails, running rigging, some of the electronics and spare anchor, chain, fenders, tiller etc are sti... read more

There is not a lot of information on this boat and it is being sold by the two sons who are not sailors. She is registered under SSR 04373. She is being sold as a project as she needs some cosmetic attention, in the cockpit the tiller is broken and the wooden lazarette locker hatches need repairing.

This Bruce Roberts 310 was built by the owner with input from Bruce himself as the plans needed modifying to take the lifting keel and the sail no. 1 was bought through Bruce also. She was inspected by Viking Maritime on completion in 1993 and we have a copy of that completion survey for any potential buyer to see. The owner still has the original drawings for the boat. The paint has peeled and she just needs re-painting on the top sides and the hull but could soon be brought back to her former glory. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be ... read more

The Pentland is one of five Westerly models all based on the same 31' hull designed by Laurent Giles. A wheel-steered, centre cockpit twin-keeled yacht, this example is a sloop rather than the more commonly-found ketch version, a layout that maximises space in the cockpit and on deck. There is a good survey from 2019. She was re-engined in 2007. Families in particular would probably appreciate the extensive storage provision and the flexible accommodation afforded by the separate aft cabin and forward cabin as well as the saloon accommodation. Not particularly fast perhaps, but a safe, soli... read more
