The accommodation for 6 is arranged with 2 main berths and 2 pilot berths in the central saloon, a navigators berth aft and one foreward in the forecastle.  The sides of the pilot bunks drop down for easy access.  The forecastle also doubles as a rope and spinnaker store.  Just foreward of the mast is a hanging space to port and the toilet and washbasin to starboard.

The fresh water cooled Yanmar 2GM20 has been regularly maintained since being installed in 2001.  A two bladed 16" x 8" bronze propellor is driven directly through an Aquadrive flexible coupling and a maintenance free PSS seal by the engine and gearbox mounted infront of the companion way steps.  This means there is all around access to the engine for servicing. The Halyard exhaust system can divert warm water through the hull underwater to make for an extreemly quiet operation.

This is an  good example of the Southerly 42 RST blue water cruising yacht. She has been well maintained and upgraded by the present owner. She is now available with a very complete cruising specification 

The Southerly 42 RST was built to a very high standard and has earned a great reputation for its luxury fit-out and its impressive build quality. She can sleep up to nine people in comfort. The rear owner's cabin is enormous with a central bed, en-suite large heads and plenty of storage.
The raised saloon is extremely light and airy with large windows which give panoramic views. The interior joinery is American maple which gives a high-quality modern feel.
Southerly’s unique lift keel design gives a draft of just .84m when up, which allows the yacht to explore the shallowest of harbours, estuaries, rivers and canals. In fact she has been through the Canal du Midi to the Mediterranean. She is also designed to safely dry out.
At the touch of a button, the keel can be lowered giving a very deep draft of 2.72m which makes for fast and serious blue water cruising.
She is easily sailed short-handed having in-mast reefing, furling genoa, auto helm and of course a bow thruster.
She has a sociable cockpit layout with a large folding table and is perfect for entertaining. Her full cockpit tent provides a great living space when the weather does not co-operate.
The Southerly 42 RST is one of the most comfortable, safe and easily sailed blue water cruising yachts available.
She is absolutely ready to go either across to the Caribbean, down to the Med or to explore the British coastline.
She can be viewed 7 days a week.

This Example of a comfort 30 has been well used and well maintained by the current owner, She has been reffitted and upgraded for offshore sailing  and as such is ready to put to sea immediately. She has had extensive work done including an engine rebuild in 2023. The engine is a Yanmar 2gm20 which runs well and has proved itself reliable. The comfort 30 was designed by Kenneth Albinsson who based his design on that of a Joker S30 designed by Rolf Magnusson and this particular boat was built in 1978 by Robertsons in Scotland as an improvement to the Albin Ballard, she has the same hull design but a deeper, higher aspect ratio, a lead keel and a semi balanced rudder for improved manoeuvrability and performance. The comfort 30 is the perfect boat for an adventurous spirit looking for a reliable sailing boat on a budget.

The Hunter Ranger 245 is a well-regarded British-built pocket cruiser designed by David Thomas, combining easy handling with surprisingly spacious accommodation. Built with twin bilge keels and a shallow draft, the Ranger 245 is equally at home exploring drying harbours, coastal waters, and inland cruising grounds. Its forgiving sailing characteristics, self-tacking headsail options, and all-lines-aft cockpit layout make it particularly attractive to short-handed crews, couples, and family sailors moving up from smaller yachts.

Despite its compact 24’6” length overall, the Hunter 245 offers excellent interior volume with up to six berths, generous standing headroom, a practical galley, and a separate heads compartment. Owners consistently praise the yacht’s versatility, economical running costs, and confidence-inspiring manners under both sail and power. The bilge keel configuration allows the boat to safely take the ground — a major advantage for UK tidal cruising and affordable moorings.

Under sail, the Ranger 245 delivers solid cruising performance with responsive handling and good stability for a yacht of this size. The fractional sloop rig and moderate displacement provide a comfortable balance between ease of use and seaworthiness, making the boat suitable for coastal passages, weekend cruising, and club racing alike. The model later evolved into the Hunter Channel 245, reflecting the enduring popularity of the design.

The Hunter 245 will sleep 6 has a practical galley and separate heads. 'Tamara' has been well-maintained and is in good condition.

Hunter Ranger 245 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a capable, versatile, and economical cruising yacht with a loyal following and proven reputation in UK waters.
