An offshore-­capable speedster with a comfortable interior. The J/99 does it all – combining great sailing performance and stability with belowdeck comfort in a competitive club racer. The deck layout and sailplane are optimised for easy handling and can be raced fully crew up or short handed with just two.

The Grand Soleil 43 combines maximum performance and ultimate comfort. A modern design from the drawing board of Botin & Carkeek. It is an icon, showing Italian style combining excellent performance with unmistakable elegance.

The Cookson 50 is one of the most iconic ocean racing yachts ever built. With a canting keel, twin carbon wheels, hydraulic winches (to do the heavy work for you) and a large sail plan, the Cookson 50 is sublimely fast, strong and easy to sail.
ClubSwan 42 is a light and extremely fast yacht and the first Swan to feature a retractable bow spirit. The boat is fast, fun to sail and rates well under the ORC Rule.
Noisy Oyster is a beautifully presented J122 and one of the most successful racers of her generation. Quick and responsive, powerful and stable, the J122 is easy to handle and delivers all round performance.
