In the run up to Christmas we all try to think of the perfect gift that will show our loved ones just how much we care. Imagine their delight when you finally buy that boat you’ve been looking for, at a much reduced price, and are able to give them the time of their lives in 2014.

I’m talking about spending quality time with your friends and family out on the water next year. Of course you buy the boat partly for yourself… but the real joy comes when you share it with the people you care about most in the world. Explain this to your family and they will really appreciate why this year, you bought yourself a boat for Christmas!

Our first featured boat this week is a Westerly Longbow – Ketch. If you’re looking for a Westerly, Sadler or Feeling boat for sale in Essex we may have the boat you are looking for. Each of these boats has an extensive slideshow of images so that you can examine it thoroughly before booking a viewing.

Westerly Longbow – Ketch now £11,500

This Westerly Longbow is the Ketch Rigged version which is a slightly larger boat than the standard Longbow with a hull length of 32ft 6". The Longbow is Fin Keeled and as such combines good sailing performance with very good accommodation. This one was re-engined in the late 90's and the engine has recently been serviced.

Sadler 29 now £17,995

The Sadler 29 has an excellent reputation for seaworthiness and ease of handling making them very popular family cruisers. This one had the engine and gearbox completely overhauled in 2011. At the same time a new stern gland was fitted. Since going back in the water in March 2012 the engine has completed less than 40 hours.

Feeling 326 now £27,995

The Feeling 326 is a cruiser with modern styling and good performance achieved without compromising the accommodation, which is light airy and spacious there are double cabins forward and aft and a good sized well equipped galley.

Our broker Steve says, “This one is in commission but has suffered a little from lack of use recently; the exterior would benefit from a clean and polish. It is priced to reflect this, and offers on the asking price will be considered.”

Viewings can be arranged for any of these boats, in advance six days a week by contacting the Boatshed Essex office direct. Remember also that offers on the asking price may be considered for any of these boats.
