The Trident 24 is a solid, easy-to-handle, sea-kindly 4-berth boat that is often admired. The Trident’s seagoing capabilities have been amply demonstrated over the years by the extensive record of offshore voyages. Over 250 Tridents were produced and as one of the first production boats to be moulded in GRP, Tridents are far more solidly built than many designs that followed. She would make an ideal family first sailing cruiser and has had the benefit in recent years of a replacement reconditioned Yanmar engine in 2015 and new Mainsail in 2017 in addition to main dealer re-wiring ... read more

A very well presented example of these popular fast Ribs! The engine has been serviced regularly and well looked after and the condition of this vessel is a credit to the current owner! A unique "MAN OVERBOARD SYSTEM has been fitted and is operated by a wrist worn unit that cuts the engine when wet or even if the owner leaves the engine running when moored and walks away out of range! Surely a very useful piece of safety equipment! There are covers for the boat and lifting straps if needed. The upholstery is in excellent condition. AIS is connected to the VHF DSC Radio as is the Ch... read more

This boat has been well maintained and loved, and it is a real credit to its current owner, who has looked after her for the last 29 years. Built in1938 with excellent construction, she has been continuously updated with many new additions and replacements. In the last few years, a more powerful engine has been installed along with a new fuel tank, she has new cutter rigged sails and a new wooden mast, and bowsprit made for her and is always layed up ashore in the winter periods under a newish custom all over cover. A very sea kindly and solid vessel and will provide you with safe pass... read more

The MG Spring is a brilliant performance cruiser that has a very big following. Made famous by a show called Howard’s Way they are great boats that combine performance and comfort very successfully. This example is generally in good condition with just a few areas that could do with some attention. The woodwork in the interior would benefit from a varnishing but is dry throughout. She benefits from a diesel heater, sea toilet with holding tank, solar charger and electric water pump. The wing keel makes a great option for those wanting to sail in shallower waters whilst not knocking a... read more

The Maxi 1000 is a Swedish cruiser/racer which is comfortable yet capable of quick passages. Seaworthy, solidly built. and designed by Pelle Petterson, the famous Olympic and Admirals Cup sailor. They were a development of the Maxi 999 which was produced between 1985 and 1992 when the 1000 started production. The model remained in build for 10 years with more than 1,000 built. The accommodation, for seven, has been well thought out leaving you feeling you are on a much larger boat, She is easily handled by just two or even single-handed with the self-tacking jib. This boat is full... read more

Shetland’s are a Norfolk Broads staple with over 45,000 boats built; the design and quality has always been brilliant. The 4+2 was a huge success having the benefits of a small boat with plenty of space to enjoy. This example's interior is in good condition and has a cockpit that would benefit from just a scrub. With a 15hp Mercury outboard you would have plenty of power for the inland waterways and a bit of extra power if needed. She has been well maintained this year with an engine service, anti fouling and a new windows on the canopy, all completed in June. These boat details... read more

This Maxum 2700SCR appears to be a very tidy example of these poplar and capable sports cruisers. Her engine was replaced with a new long block in Jan 23 and she starts and runs very nicely indeed. She also has a new starter motor, canopy and batteries. She was last antifouled in November 2022 and had her outdrive serviced too, with new anodes also fitted. She is a very practical boat with smart and flexible quality accommodation including a forward double berth and saloon. The dining area is opposite the compact yet functional galley which has spirit stove, fridge and microwave, ... read more

This Mariner 450e is the perfect little inland waters day boat. Incredibly pleasing on the eye, simple to use and very comfortable. Powered by an electric outboard which gives an approximate range of 5 hours on 60-70% power. A new outboard was fitted in 2024. The electric engine runs almost silently and has enough power to push against most inland tides. The is a well kept vessel that has spent its recent years on the Norfolk Broads, largely on its trailer and only launched when actually being used. The only noticeable damage is a bit of stitching on the sprayhood. She is currently... read more

This is an ex trawler where the owner has had a vision for it to be refurbished into a luxury, long haul cruiser. I have found examples of converted Kramer & Booy builds and they have ended up as incredible modern cruisers. The current owner has been fixing her up slowly over time. The engine is now separated into its own engine room giving a small office/crew quarter and a large master suite with a ‘walk in wardrobe’, all on the bottom floor. The saloon area is huge with plenty of windows giving a great atmosphere as well as great views! The galley is also incredibly big with plent... read more
