Register with Boatshed to see 118 extra photos of this Laurent Giles 38 .The Laurent Giles 38 is, (in my opinion) one of the most elegant offshore cruising boats there is and finding one in this condition is just an absolute joy! Undoubtedly her iconic design, original build quality and traditional craftsmanship make her what she is however what sets this particular Laurent Giles 38 apart is how lucky she is! To have an owner with boatyard and a skilled workforce meant she had a full refit in 2000 and since then she has been sailed, meticulously maintained and absolutely and unconditionally loved! I would wax lyrical about her all day but instead I would like to invite you to come and have a look for yourself. When I step aboard I just don't want to leave, except under sail into a stiff breeze! Survey (insurance) 2024 - summarises: This Laurent Giles 38 is a very strong and well-built vessel, designed by a well-recognised naval architect. As per her previous Survey, she was presented in exceptionally good condition for her age, and there were no obvious serious or urgent issues found during the inspection. Very unusually, she is unrigged and stored ashore under cover when out of commission each year and she has always been subject to a continuing and very thorough maintenance programme by a caring and experienced owner over the last decade These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.This Laurent Giles 38 has been personally photographed and viewed by Corinne Gillard of Boatshed IOW.

Twister 28 (all wood) REF#344035

Register with Boatshed to see 83 extra photos of this Twister 28 (all wood).It is said that the Twister 28 is so called because the designer, Kim Holman's brief was to 'twist' the rules for racing yacht measurement! He achieved a lot more than that with the Twister, they are hugely popular and unconditionally loved by their owners and grace start lines of both classic and handicap fleets as well as extensively cruise coastal waters and happily cross oceans This particular example is all wood, surprising considering her age. The owner spent 20 years constructing her using the finest timber available and eventually launched her in 1983. Twenty-five years later she was lucky enough to be bought by the current owner who (as a shipwright) gave her a full refit ready to sail, sometimes singlehanded around the UK. She was stripped, re-rigged, re-engined, re-wired and much more besides. Below is the owners summary of works (which is still not exhaustive!) REFIT The refit took over a year to complete with most of her equipment replaced. The paint was stripped and recoated with single pack marine coatings. The decks were sanded and recalked. Much of the internal joinery was removed and new lockers, table, chart table and galley made from sapele timber. All electrical wiring and fittings were replaced together with a new freshwater system. The mast was stripped, wrapped, rewired and dressed with new standing rigging. Machinery - Fuel tank removed, cleaned and refitted (90 litres) New 20hp Beta 2020 fitted 2022 with sigma drive thrust bearing, new stern gland seal (water cooled) New Darglow Featherstream propeller and rope cutter. Electrics - Completely rewired with marine tinned cable 144 watts solar panel giving the boat off grid capabilities 240v shore power and Victron charger, galvanic isolator, 75amp alternator charging both battery banks. New nav/deck lights, interior lights soft white and red. 12 USB sockets. Bilge blower, engine bay light, cockpit locker lights.
