An explosion of brokerage activity in late 2020 resulted in December becoming the second strongest single month for brokerage sales since 2009. The brief easing of coronavirus restrictions seen in the latter half of 2020 gave people a chance to inspect superyachts, spurring activity. Greg Gheraia director of BLACKORANGE SuperYacht Experts says that the lockdowns "really made us think about life and spending more time with loved ones.

The fine vessels designed and built by the Dickie family at the beautiful Loch Fyne fishing port of Tarbert were infused with varying degrees of unmistakable Scottish fishing vessel DNA married to strict yacht quality discipline learned at Fairlie by yard founder Archibald M. Dickie; the motorsailer TUNNAG (Gaelic for duck) is both no exception and a very fine, and authentically preserved example. The ingredients are all there: a bold sheerline bookended by a proud bow and sweetly curved canoe stern; astonishingly stout construction specifications; bright finished teak topsides and superstructures topped by a wheelhouse in which the amateur yachtsman could feel like a master mariner for the weekend, in command of surely the smartest little ship in the anchorage, or retire to a Pullman carriage interior in a quality of carpentry that few yards could match. And not to forget a pair of masts raked at just the right angle for an air of jauntiness, capable of carrying a fair spread of canvas. There is nothing quite like TUNNAG in offering such vintage pre-war chutzpah and yet modern practicality. She has recently received a completely new teak deck laid by one of best of present-day craftsmen and requires post-refit commissioning, including servicing of her trusty and economic Gardner engine, to have her ready for the season.
