British Hunter Channel 31
£42,500, 30' 9".
at £42,500 is a David Thomas design that offers a remarkable combination of easy handling with good performance and the ability to dry out on her twin keels. Hunter always referred to these boats as "twin fin" rather than "bilge keel" to emphasise their performance. She is one of the few boats of this size to achieve a RCD Category 'A' rating even for the twin keeled version. Afloat in Cornwall, but will move to Devon shortly.
Tradewind 35
£55,000, 35' 0".

In the present ownership she has had new electronics and standing rigging, also expensive renewal of the teak toerails and rubbing strakes. Unusually for a Rival 41, this is a remarkably lightly used yacht, that has never done major mileages. Afloat in S. Wales, though she will be coming to Cornwall later this summer.
Moody 31 Mk II
£26,000.
from 1989 at £26,000 has excellent accommodation including a good-sized aft double cabin. This is one of the later-built Mk IIs, which have a sugarscoop stern.

Westerly 33
£21,500, 33' 3".
at £21,500 is a well maintained example of these solid, powerful cruising yachts.

Ashore in Hampshire.
£125,000
37' 3".
at £125,000 is a really high quality yacht offering an excellent balance of sailing performance, seakeeping and comfortable and beautifully finished accommodation.

Ashore in Devon.
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36i
£69,950, 35' 11", shallow fin.
is the preferred "owners" version. This is a shallow fin keel yacht with a very good inventory including excellent sails and a full cockpit "camper " cover.

Hunter Legend 356
£59,500, 35' 6".
at £59,500 is an unusual yacht in that she is one of the few genuinely modern twin-keeled family cruisers around. Built by the US based Luhrs Marine in their UK Dorset factory in 2003, she offers a remarkably spacious interior and good sailing performance. Afloat in Hampshire.

£47,000, 33' 6".

Bluewater cruiser
What is a Bluewater cruiser?
A bluewater cruiser is a type of boat designed to travel long distances on the open ocean. These crafts are typically more robust and larger than recreational vessels, with full navigation systems and ocean-ready cruising amenities to keep passengers safe and comfortable during extended voyages. Bluewater cruisers are typically designed with a deep-keel hull and higher sidedrops to prevent capsizing in rough conditions—an important feature for enduring moments of heavy weather on the high seas. With ample storage capabilities and broad-reaching sailing capabilities, a bluewater cruiser is the perfect vessel for ocean exploration.
Which manufacturers build bluewater cruiser sail boats?
Manufacturers that produce bluewater cruiser sail boats include Beneteau , Hanse , Jeanneau , Nautor Swan and Dufour .
How much does a bluewater cruiser sail boat cost?
A used bluewater cruiser sail boat on TheYachtMarket.com ranges in price from £4,950 GBP to £5,870,000 GBP with an average price of £476,000 GBP . Factors including the condition, age, model and specification will affect the price of a bluewater cruiser.

We spent £150k more to buy a houseboat over a ‘perfect’ home – we have no regrets
Adam dunlop and his wife lisa funded the purchase of their houseboat by selling their current home.
Last year, Adam Dunlop and his wife Lisa sold their home in Twickenham and bought a houseboat, named Orca , moored on the River Thames.
“The perfect house and this boat turned up at the same time and we went for the boat,” says Dunlop, 59, a freelance video editor.
Orca measures 26 metres, has a top floor which is half deck and half glass box, with floor-to-ceiling windows all the way round. There’s also a kitchen/living room and three bedrooms downstairs.
Unlike many houseboats, Orca doesn’t have an engine, so can’t go anywhere, but one of her big selling points was that she came with a share of a private mooring.
“You can buy some lovely boats at wonderful prices but, if you don’t have a mooring, you’ve got nothing. The mooring is everything on the Thames,” says Dunlop.
Most moorings – essentially a spot where you can leave your boat – involve paying a fee to someone else, and that fee can be as much as a large mortgage every month .
“It varies depending on the location and the length of the vessel. The longer the vessel, the more it will incur in mooring fees. However, I would say that the average is around £10,000 a year,” says Nigel Day, co-founder and director of RiverHomes.
“Of the approximately 1,200 moorings in London – which are usually classed as either permanent or leisure – only about 100 or so boat owners own their mooring.”
Dunlop says: “On our marina, there are seven boats – five own a share – and it works like a share of freehold.” He paid about £775,000 for his houseboat and its mooring, funded by selling his home for £750,000. If the couple had bought the home they had their eye on instead, it would have been cheaper, at about £625,000.
The mooring includes a small, shared garden, mooring entrance, parking space and a room in a lock-up.
“Private moorings are very rare to find and are a much bigger upfront cost, but the outlay is then smaller,” he explains.
The boats on the private mooring pay into a sink fund which covers insurance and maintenance costs. This works out at just under £200 a month but, if there’s any extra maintenance to be done, it’s more. The couple also pay the Port of London Authority, which looks after the Thames, around £135 a month, a figure that varies depending on your boat.
While these are extra costs that don’t come with a traditional home, there are some financial advantages to houseboat life. The boat itself is stamp duty-exempt and there was just a small amount of stamp duty to pay for the land that comes with the mooring.
Houseboats also generally attract a lower rate of council tax . Water and electricity work in a similar way to if you live on land, although Orca has an air source heat pump that makes the latter cheaper.
The pros aren’t all monetary, though. “I have to pinch myself because it’s so peaceful and beautiful,” says Dunlop. “When the tide is low, you can sit out and watch for birds, sit with a cup of coffee and lose yourself in it, but we’re closer to town than we could afford if we lived in a house. It’s also a great place to entertain. We are by a walk and people drop in, we have lovely parties and great summer nights.”
“Living by the river feels like being in the country but you’re right in the middle of London. We back on to the high street in Brentford but, because there’s an island [Brentford Ait] behind us, we’re on the quiet side so there aren’t pleasure boats going past. It’s very private,” he says.
The couple have three boys, all in their twenties, one of whom is temporarily at home.
“They like being here. We have a kayak and a motorboat that we take out. It’s got everything; there’s a nature reserve in front of me, which no one is allowed to go on, and it’s our own bit of private countryside.”
There’s also a great sense of community in the marina, which Dunlop says people will either take to or not. “You need to be prepared to muck in and help out. You do talk to your neighbours and there’s a degree of communal living.”
In terms of downsides, maintenance is the main one.
“There are little things that you need to do and budget for, for example, looking after the exterior wood. Every 10 years, you also have to get all of the boat checked out. Boats are living items, so, after an amount of time, you need to add to them or repair them,” says Dunlop.
Workers could get £250k pension pot for free under proposed retirement saving rule
“Depending on the type of boat, it must be put in dry dock for its hull to be scraped or pressure-blasted and for the hull to be surveyed,” says Day.
“Most boat owners take this opportunity to also blacken the hull and replace any anodes. Many go ahead and paint the rest of the exterior at this time, too. Costs vary between boatyards, but houseboat owners need to budget between £7,000 to £10,000.”
The weather is another factor to be aware of and Dunlop recommends doing a houseboat swap before committing to living on a boat all year round.
The couple occasionally let Orca on AirBnB so people who want to live on the river can give it a go.
“It’s a good idea if you want to try it out. Be aware that, if you do it in summer, you need to be able to do it in winter, too.” Other disadvantages are the lack of fibre Wi-Fi and the phone signal.
“Because the Thames is tidal, the phone signal is better at some times than others. At low tide, it’s not very good,” he says.
The Dunlops were able to finance their purchase through the sale of their Twickenham home but, if you need to get a mortgage, buying a boat can be difficult.
“They are almost always bought with cash. Marine finance is possible (sometimes called marine mortgages), but the term is short, the deposit is high and so is the interest rate,” says Day. “Of the very small number who opt for marine finance, 10 per cent interest or more is typical.”
Dunlop at least, has no regrets: “A certain sort of person lives on a boat, it’s self-selecting. You need to have a certain outlook and a touch of romance in your soul. For me, it was a no-brainer.”
