French production boatbuilders Beneteau require no introduction from me, having been in business since 1884! The First 40.7 was initially designed by Bruce Farr in 1999 and very quickly gained popularity with nearly 700 produced in total. I would imagine they are probably the best known of the cruiser-racers, they still turn up in numbers at club regattas all over the country and as a family cruising boat they offer excellent accommodation as well as being fun to sail This 40.7 has had a good career under RORC, from channel races to Round Britain and Ireland and she's crossed the Atlantic t... read more

Whilst the limelight may fall on her stablemates the Contessa 26 and Contessa 32, the Contessa 28 has many positive attributes of it's own. From the pen of Doug Peterson, the author of many successful Contessa designs, the 28 is a great sailing yacht with the added advantage of feeling significantly larger internally than the 26 but with only 2 feet of actual extra length. This extra comfort sets them apart and makes life with one that bit more comfortable for a family while retaining the ability to be easily sailed singlehanded. Less well known the 28's are also less numerous but still with o... read more

Miss Fidget is of the classic Ron Holland designed Superseal 26 type, ideal for coastal cruising and popular in club racing circles. This example has a particular claim to fame in that her first owner decided to sail her across the Atlantic, making her probably the only one of her type to attempt such a voyage. Her original log book detailing this passage comes with the boat. More recently the current owner has often taken her to the east coast and back from the Isle of Wight proving that she is still a more than capable example of her type. With her fully lifting keel the draft reduces to a... read more
