Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Kim Holman Landfall Class Ketch Kim Holman Landfall ketch built by Whisstocks Boatyard Ltd, Suffolk, UK  in 1958. She was the first yacht of 6 built to this Kim Holman design and gave her name to the class.  Built for Claude Whisstock, the owner of the boat yard, she was therefore the ‘boss’s boat’ and would have been built with a little extra care and attention.  Owned by Whisstock for 25 years, she then had another long ownership before being given a major refit between 1998 and 2004. Bought by the previous owners in 2006 and ... read more

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Arthur Ransomes Fred Shepherd Yacht SELINA KING is a Fred Shepherd designed Bermudan cutter built by Harry King & Sons in 1938 for the author Arthur Ransome.  She was the largest boat commissioned by Ransome.

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Buchanan Saxon Class Sloop The Saxon Class was designed by Alan Buchanan as a development of his very successful Vashti as a smaller more manageable yacht but with many of the same attributes. This boat was built by RJ Priors and Son of Burnham in 1962 to Lloyds 100A1 and was kept in class until quite recently. The dimensions and volume of the Saxon make her an ideal size for many owners, easily single handed, but with 5 berths and space for a good size crew when racing, she is large enough to take some nasty weather if required without ... read more

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Laurent Giles Vertue V2 Laurent Giles Vertue No.2 built by E.F. Elkins of Christchurch in 1937. This was the second Vertue ever launched after Andrillot, built by the well known Elkins yard who became prolific builders of Vertue yachts. These early examples of the Vertue differ to the later boats that were more common and only 8 examples were launched.  They have a slightly lower freeboard, more exaggerated sheer line and a lower coachroof with no doghouse.  They are widely regarded as prettier boats than the later sisters, but have le... read more

Interlude is a Colvin-designed steel schooner built in the US in 1985, imported to Canada in 2014. She is 50' on deck, 62' with bowsprit. With the square sail on her foremast, Interlude qualifies as a Class A Tall Ship. She is a proven blue-water passagemaker, having covered 10,000+ ocean miles since we began our Caribbean adventures in 2019. Interlude could continue to be used as a private recreational vessel (as we have used her), but she could also be an excellent day-charter or economical sail training vessel.
