Built 1981 - Price £15,500. I have extensively upgraded pretty much everything on board, mostly for my own satisfaction and also to give confidence to do the Jester Challenge (to the Azores single handed). This was completed between May and July 2008 and Sprinter managed all weather conditions without any problems.

Some work is still outstanding in areas like the head linings in the heads, but in general I believe she is a strong extremely well equipped example of this design. Sprinter is currently on a swinging mooring in Chichester Harbour. There is also a Bombard AX2 inflatable which was bought in 2003 available by separate negotiation.

I am only selling Sprinter as I have bought a bigger boat with a view to doing some more extended cruising.

1979 Fastnet 34

Sirocco is a revolutionary French ocean racer of the early 1970’s, designed by the Finot Group. The yacht is one of the best examples of her class and has been very well looked after since she was launched, and in the present ownership since 1991. She is a beamy, spacious boat down below; the owners have spent many months aboard her and have never felt claustrophobic. She is fast and extremely seaworthy; a kind vessel in bad weather and good in light airs. She has been twice across the North Sea from Scotland to Norway in unpleasant weather with no fuss.

Custom East Anglian

Built by shipwright John May in 1970 for his own use, ‘Alona’ was built from East Anglian Mark II lofting plans in Gravesend. She is an unusual East Anglian in that the coach roof is long similar to that of a Sterling or Twister, rather than the characteristic doghouse of the Mk I.
