1998 Chaparral 2835SS — A Thoroughly Upgraded Classic Sports Cruiser Chaparral's flagship 2835SS was the standout performer of its era — an 8.5m sports cruiser with the Extended V-Plane hull that planes fast, rides dry, and handles big water with confidence. This particular example has been comprehensively re-engineered and presents in exceptional condition, with a documented investment of over £108,000 since 2019. The headline upgrade is the fitment of twin Volvo Penta 300 V8 300CE EVS DPS Complete Packages (July 2022, £67,458), transforming what was already a capable performer in... read more

The South Coast One Design, or SCOD, is one of those yachts that always brings a smile to my face! No surprise, really, since she was designed by Charles A Nicholson (the nephew), and she’s such a pretty boat. Between 1955 and 1970, 106 were built and many are still sailing today, gracing the start lines of classic regattas, taking on the Round the Island Race at Cowes and starting in their own class at Cowes Week. Although they have considerable racing success including taking the top 6 places at Cowes in 1956 they are equally happy cruising along the coastlines. This is a lovely ex... read more

Regal Boats are known for their innovative designs and the ability to make even their smaller boats luxurious. This Regal Commodore 2665 is exactly that, I'm not sure there is a better equipped sports cruiser and if there is they would struggle to compete with the stylish fit out of the Regal! The deep vee hull gives her easy planing and handling whilst maintaining great sea-keeping abilities. The diesel inboard version is highly sought-after and is well maintained and recently serviced for the season. As soon as you step aboard you notice clever features and understand why these boa... read more

The Solent Spear 34, designed by Fairey’s former chief designer Alan Burnard in Cowes and built on the Hamble, is, in my humble opinion, one of the most stunning-looking powerboats I’ve had the pleasure of boarding Fairey's stylish lines, without doubt but with a Hi-Modulus GRP hull hand-laid to order, she was fitted out by traditional craftsman and has been maintained impeccably since. She presents beautifully above and below deck, testament to the fine quality build initially but also the love and care of her owner She spends each winter ashore undercover on her own cradle (include... read more

The Sadler 32 is often compared to her older sister the Contessa 32 and although the Contessa is probably the better known they are equally good designs which have stood the rest of time. They were both designed by David Sadler, a well respected yacht designer who had a knack of producing yachts that could equally perform in light or heavy airs. The Sadler 32 with her higher freeboard and wider beam makes her more suitable for family cruising, easy to sail shorthanded but with plenty of space below This is a nice example, she's had plenty of money spent over the years and her interior p... read more
