ARROW was among the first of the West Solents to be built at Lymington in 1924, and the last of a lucky group of these ultra elegant and fast 1920s sports boats to be restored by Peter Brookes at Maldon through the 1990s. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/782/ARROW She has subsequently become arguably the best known of them, campaigned very successfully in two ownerships over 25 years in both Mediterranean and south and southeast of England classic regattas. ARROW is also unarguably the best equipped classic regatta package, optimised to compete under both CIM and IRC rules, and transported (and ‘dry sailed’ indoors) aboard her very own UK and EU-legal 19-tonne truck that is included in the sale. What is there not to like?!

Few British pre-war cruiser-racers have had so much love and care lavished on them, but this striking 50 ft classic yawl - Fred Shepherd’s last design - thoroughly deserves it. AMOKURA's story is remarkable and her ability legendary. Almost as if she demanded it, her few owners over more than 80 years have always let her off the leash as a long-distance cruiser and passage racer; in present ownership she has completed the past two Fastnet Races and cruised extensively. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/775/AMOKURA Through the lessons learned during voyages that offer time to think, AMOKURA has been refined and improved to the extent that she is most probably a more able yacht than when launched by Moody's in 1939. Yet she is doing exactly what her designer and commissioning owner envisaged. Down below that is achieved with rather more comfort than the 1930s sailor accepted, but with no loss of charm and period feel. AMOKURA is very special, and, of course, she doesn't need to be sailed far away to be enjoyed and to give back.

Laurent Giles seemed to achieve a seamless transition between #traditional and #modern styling - it is not surprising that PAZIENZA with her handsome sheer and understated English good looks was down to the last two nominees for the most beautiful boat in France in 2010. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/200/PAZIENZA In his design philosophy, Giles considered that a yacht should have ‘the utmost docility and sureness of manoeuvring at #sea in good or bad weather.’ Thus his boats were designed to maintain a steady course with minimal action by the #helmsman yet to respond instantly to the helm if the need arose. He identified PAZIENZA as a ‘good example of a comfortable shorthanded cruising boat with a first class performance under power yet able to take part successfully in #ocean races. Yachting World in 1957 described her as ‘a large cutter into which a great deal of thought has been given to comfort and convenience.’ The current owner and family have successfully cruised and raced in #europe and the #caribbean and PAZIENZA is just one of those boats that once seen – she will always stay with you!
