Originally built by Brooke Marine in 1930, Brioni is a genuine pre-war gentleman’s motor launch that has benefitted from a comprehensive refit by Pendennis Shipyard in 2017.

Here we have a great opportunity to acquire a unique and one-off cruiser.
This wooden 40 foot Truman was designed and built in 1963. The current owner bought her and ran her down the river to where she was lifted for refurbishment work but has now decided to sell her.
The decks are new and have been fully fibreglass sheathed and she has a low hour Nanni diesel fitted.
She needs a fair bit of TLC and finishing but she is all there and the local wooden boat yard specialist where she is stored will be on hand to help and advise. Also when launched they can manage the take-up of ...

Shewolf was built by the Dell Quay company on the Fairey Huntress hull, made famous by Fairey Marine winning its class in the Cowes Torquay Cowes power boat race. A craft renowned for superior handling characteristics and seakeeping qualities. A 1960s style icon that still stands out alongside a glassfibber modern.
Shewolf is powered by twin Volvo AQ151's petrol engines that have been reconditioned at the start of my ownership in 2020 and which these provide over 200 bhp into the water. The sterndrives were also fully reconditioned by a local specialist in 2023.
