  • From Tim Newman - Sadly, I am having to sell my E30 as I really don't seem to find the time to use / maintain her at the moment. She's a lovely boat that has given both myself and my father a great deal of pleasure over the 24 years in our ownership, but unfortunately, life has taken over and, she has been somewhat neglected. Details are here on Facebook Marketplace

  • Mike Davies has a full set of unused cushions (mattresses) for an Elizabethan 23. He is willing to donate these free

    If they can be collected (or possibly agree a half way meeting point) from Everton, just outside Lymington.

    At the time of purchase they cost £480.


  • January 2024: HOT OFF THE PRESS! Our webmaster, Stuart Harrison, is reluctantly having to offer his beautifully restored 1964 Elizabethan 29 ‘Aelana’, hull #25, for sale at £14,950. Aelana (formerly ‘Blue Bess’) was put through a comprehensive 3 year refit at the Sussex Yacht Club following her purchase in April 2015 and has been sparingly sailed to/from the EOA rally each year and along the South Coast from Brighton/Shoreham since relaunch in 2018. She’s the blue hulled E29 that graces many of the pages of this website - for further photos, a more comprehensive specification and a 2017 insurance survey report detailing her condition mid refit please see the full listing here.
