The Colgate 26 is a collaboration between an Olympic sailor and a naval architect. They called it 'The boat for all reasons', to sail fast, to have fun and, most importantly, to be safe whilst doing it. They are popular one-design day boats and are great for teaching the transition from dinghies to keelboats. On deck they are simple and practical - the rig is powerful and yet easily controlled and the large self-draining cockpit adds to the versatility. Safety really was paramount in this design and the open, low transom means that getting back aboard is much easier. Down below these bo... read more

Gilbert Marine was founded in France in 1972, GibSea at the time being one of the lines they built. As Gibsea yachts became more and more popular they became a brand in their own right and were later taken over by Dufour Yachts in 1998. The Gibsea 96 was a well-thought-out design, built between 1984-87 with the premise of a boat that would sail well but have the volume below to accommodate family or crew in comfort. She retains a traditional layout but makes use of all available space with good sized cabins and plenty of storage throughout. Having been in the same ownership for the last... read more

A former survey vessel, this steel workboat may look like you'd expect from outboard however, when you step into the newly rebuilt wheelhouse you realise just how much has been done to increase her versatility. The hull has been epoxy primed and painted and a bowthruster added to improve manoeuvrability. What was once a traditional fishing boat style short wheelhouse has been completely rebuilt and extended to provide a comfortable seating area (which converts to a double berth), galley and heads/shower area. Forward there is a pod style cabin creating additional berths and seating. ... read more

This Nicholson 31 is like no other. She is a one-owner vessel and her condition inside and out testify to that fact. In superb condition throughout you could be forgiven to think she was no more than 5 years old and not Hull Number 97 first launched in 1979 ! The Nicholson 31, was in production for 4 years from 1976 to 1980 during which time 119 were built. The ‘31’ succeeded the very popular Nicholson 32, but the Raymond Wall design of the Nick 31 with its long keel soon became the choice of the experienced offshore enthusiast and in particular a favourite of the single handed sailor. Ma... read more
