  • Starlight 35 @ £75,500 1991 wing keel, lying Greece (974)

  • Sadler 34 @ 58,000 Euros 1988/89 shallow fin keel, lying Holland (965)

    This well maintained 34 has been with the present owner for the past 12 years.  Originally built to a high specification for the first owner, being a local Director for Sadler, this 34 has a comprehensive specification.  Hull was professionally re-sprayed March 02.  Maxwell self-tail primary winches and all control lines led aft to cockpit - also power windlass, solar power and recent Hood mainsail and genoa.  Canvas work has all been replaced and the Lister Alpha 30hp engine was installed 2000.  Diesel heating, Isotherm refrigeration, recent batteries and Sterling battery charger/monitoring system.  Comprehensive electronics include ST50 and Autohelm 2000.  Attractive interior with new upholstery 2007 and diesel heating.  This is a splendid yacht, maintained to a high standard by very keen owner/skipper.  

  • Sadler 34 @ £38,900 1992 SJ Shallow fin keel, lying Japan (964)

We were involved in building this boat and handing her over to her resolute Japanese buyer, who sailed the boat home to Japan. This Stephen Jones shallow fin keel 34 was completed to a very high standard, to the exacting requirements of this most knowledgeable owner.  The boat has been most carefully maintained and lovingly cared for all her life.  Specification is high and we have many pictures to demonstrate the excellent condition of this boat.  Under instruction from Surveyor, additional lay-up was applied to increase strength of hull.  All rig was upgraded to Diaform and 46 ST winches fitted.  Instrumentation set up for long distance cruising with Furuno weather fax, card radar detector for collision avoidance, ICOM VHF and Stowe Dataline instrumentation, including wind.  Interior equipment includes Electrolux high-quality fridge, diesel heating and many comfort refinements.  All canvas work upgraded and full suit of sails includes fully-battened main, tri-sail and working stay-sail.  New teak seating fitted 07 (supplied by MLY). We believe this 34 will appeal to buyers in Japan, Australia, New Zealand or thereabouts - a thoroughly sound, well equipped and maintained yacht.

  • Sadler 34 @ £38,900 1992 SJ deep fin keel, lying Devon (988)

One of the latest 34's now available which we sold to the present owner three years ago.  Carefully maintained and in very good order, this boat is available at an attractive price because the Vendor is moving out of sailing for a while.  Sails are all in serviceable good condition with sail controls led aft and latest Volvo 2030 has low engine hours.  Two autopilots available with Ariez self-steering, the boat is equipped for long distance sailing with liferaft, current flare pack and other safety equipment appropriate for the boat, complete with inflatable and Suzuki outboard.  Clean boat at an attractive price.  E-mail for Sales Specification.

  • Sadler 34 @ £38,000 1988, wing keel, lying Scotland (989)

Fairly rare example of a Sadler 34 with the Warwick Collins tandem wing keel - we have previously sold two of these of which the new owners have been delighted with performance.  Well set up with fully battened main, furling headsail and chute.  Excellent interior condition and adequate electronics in terms of wind/speed/depth, gps/VHF and autopilot.  We are awaiting further details but expect this to be an attractive boat at asking price £38,000.

  • Sadler 34 @ £34,750 1986, deep fin keel, lying Solent (977)

Present owners have owned this 34 for the past eight years and now upgrading to a larger yacht.  Carefully maintained with recent sails, good cooker/toilet, Eberspacher heating and Tech-Deck cockpit seating.  Recent Kubota 35 hp fitted to give ample power and sail wardrobe includes a chute and associated pole/equipment.  Canvas work in good condition and new cavita stripes fitted.  We consider this an excellent 34, pitched at an attractive price because the new owners are already moving into their new boat.  Further detail to follow shortly.

  • Sadler 32 @ £37,500 1992 SJ deep fin keel, lying North West (955)

This is an exceptional 32, built to an extraordinarily high specification and in superb condition.  Detail woodwork is to craftsman standard by the original owner, who still owns the boat.  A superb suit of sails by North, including fully battened mainsail, tri-radial furling genoa with 'step' construction.  Harken furling gear, also genecker and tri-radial spinnaker.  Deck fittings to a high standard with Anderson and Antal self-tail winches, plus spinlock clutches, with all sail controls led aft.  New canvas work with matching sprayhood, dodgers and sail cover.  Recent instrumentation with Navman, Furuno Gps, Raymarine autopilot and so on.  Comprehensive domestic equipment with refrigeration, Eberspacher diesel heating and stainless steel water and fuel tanks.  If you are interested in a really superb Sadler 32, give Mike a call for more information.

  • Sadler 32 @ £36,900, 1989, deep fin keel, lying Devon (973)

We sold this attractive 32 to the present owner seven years ago and carried out a complete refurbishment and refit of the boat.  Previously epoxied 1994 and with well maintained topsides and deck moulding, this boat is in splendid structural and external condition.  We consider that this is a well equipped, carefully maintained boat at an attractive price.  Contact us for Sales Specification.

  • Sadler 32 @ £33,000, 1986 deep fin keel, lying Devon (960)

We know this particular 32 well and sold her to the present owners some 5 years ago and indeed sold her to the previous owner some 2 years before this.  Powered by the trusty Bukh 20 (regularly maintained), all sails lead aft with standing rig replaced 10 years ago and self-tail winches, plus Lewmar hatches.  Sails include a fully battened main, no.1 and no.3 genoa, plus North spinnaker with spi-squeezer.  Canvas work all in good shape and an overall winter cover.  This is a well maintained no-nonsense yacht which will give good service for many years to come, at a realistic price. 

  • Sadler 290 @ £65,900 2004, twin keels, lying Devon end April (982)

We are delighted to have been asked by the owner of this much loved 290 to market their boat for them.  This is the successor to the Sadler 29, designed by Stephen Jones and built by Rampart Yachts, this being the only boat we know to be currently available.  Superbly equipped and in excellent condition, Vendors are moving up to a larger yacht and have taken the decision to part with their 290 after 3-4 years of successful and enjoyable family sailing.  The Vendors are now progressing with their purchase of a new boat and have asked us to reduce the asking price by £4,000.  As far as we know, this is the only 290 available on the market and does present a well equipped and well maintained yacht at an attractive price. Sales Spec available on request. 

  • Sadler 26 @ £11,900 1982/83, fin keel, lying ashore Herts (979)

This 26 has been sailed extensively by a well known boatbuilder, who repaired the boat following fire damage which affected the deck moulding.  This has been repaired using modern advanced techniques, however illness in the family has meant the boat is now stored in a warehouse and requires cosmetic care and attention to varnish work and general refurbishment of exterior grp.  The Bukh 10 engine is believed to be sound but could do with a coat of paint. There are no sails, nor electronics which will need to be supplied.  There is a good 4-wheel trailer which may require attention to tyres.  Sad to say, this is a forced sale and we have advised the vendor that a sale price of around £11,900 would be appropriate bearing in mind there is no documentation nor proof age of vessel, or Vat paid.  

MOODY YACHTS

We are now extending our Moody repairs service into Brokerage, where boats are based in or near the River Dart.  Arrangements can also be made in other areas in Devon such as Salcombe, Plymouth, Torbay and Exmouth.
