With the London Boat Show now behind us, attention turns to the busy spring brokerage period. At this time of year many owners are starting to make their plans for the coming season and are weighing up the options for a change of boat. Over the last 2-3 months we have successfully sold many boats, large and small, with many buyers coming over from the near continent.

Here are a couple of recent arrivals onto our brokerage list:-

Recently arrived is a superb Sasanka Courier 970, 'Murphy's Angel, offering spacious and comfortable accommodation with a large living area, roomy galley, and a homely ambience with up to eight berths in three cabins. The 55hp Volvo diesel gives a maximum speed of nine knots and consumes around four litres per hour at cruising speed. Manoeuvrability is aided by a 4kW bow thruster. The cockpit can be fully enclosed to provide ample living space, regardless of weather. A boat well suited to coastal, lake and river cruising and very well equipped.

Also recently arrived ashore here is 'Peradur', a Canadian built fast cruiser design from the board of Tony Castro, this example being originally presented at the London Boat Show, and in her present ownership for the last fifteen years. Her hull design provides exhilarating sailing performance, whilst the deck layout lends itself to ease of handling, and the accommodation provides comfort in harbour.
We have recently helped the owners replace the engine and renew the standing rigging, so she now represents excellent value for a yacht of her size and age.
