‘Ella IV', a Kruger Delta II, is a lovely day boat fitted with a Mercury 20hp petrol 4-stroke outboard engine and comes on its own galvanised Snipe trailer in excellent condition.

The Kruger Delta is a popular and practical small fishing and picnic boat, very well constructed, light enough to launch and recover without fuss, and towed easily behind the average family car. The trailer has a winch and light board included in the sale, so this boat is ready to drive away!

‘Ella IV’ has been lightly used, and very well-maintained. She has just had a new cockpit cover fitted (September 2024), and the Mercury 4-stroke 20HP engine has been fully serviced. The engine controls and steering system were re-furbished in 2023.

There is a simple, stylish and practical cuddy with aluminum framed windows, providing weather protection.

Ample freeboard and plenty of storage make it suitable for both family picnics and fishing trips. Standard fitments include a fitted steering console, stainless steel handrails, cleats and bow roller, opening fore-hatch in cuddy, and a tough all-around rope fender.

Great fun for the whole family!

Fairwind is a Harrison Butler Bogle class built in Barton on Humber in 1935. The design was drawn up in 1933 by Dr Harrison Butler for the Little Ship Club. Fairwind is one of 6 boats built to this design and has sailed to Russia and the Baltic, the Friesian Islands, and the South and East coasts of the UK. Harrison Butler was famed for using the Metacentric Principal of hull balance, and as a result Fairwind is a delight to sail, and holds her canvas well, yet is still light on the helm.
Her sister ship is Tradewind, which was sailed across the Atlantic and is now kept in America.

She had new bronze keel bolts about 10 yrs ago and the mast was taken back to bare wood last year. She has a Quantum mainsail, with staysail and roller jib from Suffolk Sails. She has masthead VHF and masthead nav lights. She is very strongly built and a great sea boat. Planking is pitch pine on oak frames with a mahogany coach roof.She is a much-loved, beautiful and sea-friendly boat. The owner has the original bill of sale from when she was built, as well as letters from various owners. Now looking for a good home for her.

'Gean' is a Loch Long One Design keelboat, built in 1957 by Nunns of Waldringfield. Approximately 12 years ago she was fitted with a new coachroof, which although different in design to the original, has been accepted by the class. Since then the boat has been laid up, and is now in need of some TLC to bring her back to pristine condition. 'Gean' can be raced with the Loch Long One Design fleets on the Alde in Suffolk as well as the Clyde in Scotland. Alternatively she will make a very rewarding day-sailer for friends and family.

Here is a rare opportunity to buy a very exciting boat! She has had all the main structural work to her hull and deck completed to a very high standard, and now needs finishing off to be an exciting and beautiful classic yacht!

'Jill' is Tumlare no. 26, and is one of the batch of six Tumlaren that were the first of their class to come the UK, arriving at the Aldeburgh Yacht Club in 1935.

In Uffa Fox's Second Book, written in 1935, he described the Tumlare as 'a very advanced type of cruiser, in fact I should think she is the most advanced in the world ...'

'Jill' was built in Sweden to a high standard in Hjalmar Johannsen's yard in Gothenburg in 1935 using only very fine materials, and to illustrate this, to date none of her mahogany planking has needed to be replaced.

The current owner has had much structural work carried out, including replacing the galvanised steel floors with stainless steel replacements, and replacing the decking. In the process of renewing the deck the mast has been modified to be deck-stepped, making for more room in the cabin.
