Nelson's are famous the world over. Built in the UK, the first designs were timber in the 1960s and, as early innovators using GRP, they became known for their excellent build quality. Although well suited for pleasure cruising they are still found working as pilot boats or police and customs launches - they were absolutely built to go to sea!
The Nelson 42 is an adaptation of the commercially popular Nelson 40 hull, fuller and higher forward sections make for a drier ride and this particular deck layout makes her a great for coastal cruising. Although famed for their seaworthy qualities t...

This is a lovely boat, first built on the south coast (Shoreham I believe) for the Navy, in 1969, and worked as a fast harbour launch in Gibralter and possibly Malta up until the turn of the (21st) century. There is an association with the navy ship "HMS Collingwood", hence the name, but I think it more likely that the association is with the training establishment HMS Collingwood in Portsmouth. She was brought back to this country and used for training up until the time the Navy sold her. There is much paperwork concerning refits etc.
She was bought in 2010 and converted to a sea ...

'SEIREN' is an exceptional vessel. After her long career as a pilot vessel she was purchased by her present owner and completely stripped and re-built to an exceptionally high standard with a great deal of attention to detail. She is in turn key condition today and would equally well be suited as the leisure boat she is or could very easily return to duties as a pilot vessel. She was re-engined at the time of the refit and above waterline exhaust outlets were moulded into the hull.
She has run 1200 engine hours at present.
She has three berths in the very large forward cabin. The heads are ...
