La Bonne, meaning “nursemaid”, was built to sail in the Nursery Class which was suggested by Herbert Reiach (MINA), the founding editor of Yachting Monthly, in 1917. His aim was to create a class of small cruiser racers which would encourage young men to take up sailing again when the (1914 – 1918) war was over. La Bonne was T Harrison Butler’s 1917 design, Albert Strange also designed for this class. She was the only boat to be built to this design and therefore unique. She was launched in 1919 on the Solent. Please see 'about us' to see line drawings.

“ A West Country workboat in modern guise”
LOD: 26’8” LWL: 25’4” Beam: 9’6” Draught: 4’8” Sail Area: 573 sq ft
Have this beautiful 27’ boat fitted out to your specifications … or taken to any stage of construction to suit ….. or finish the interior yourself …. Because the coachroof is timber, built on to the one-piece deck and cockpit moulding, there is plenty of scope for customising including having a flush deck or extending the coachroof forward of the mast allowing ample headroom in the heads and forepeak. It’s up to you. Please telephone for full specification and to talk through your requirements.
SHELDRAKE
1953 Morgan Giles Royal Dart One Design
LOA: 16’6”
Designer: Morgan Giles
Built on The Humber
Mahogany hull
Lying Salcombe £2,000 on completion
Sheldrake was built on the Humber to Morgan Giles’ design for the RDOD (Royal Dart One Design) and was originally raced as a Humber One Design. She appears have a stronger build quality than many of the RDOD’s built in Teignmouth and therefore she has not lost any of her classic shape. She was sailed single-handedly from the Humber to Dartmouth in the 70’s and was bought to race as a RDOD. She is undergoing complete restoration of hull and wooden spars at present.
