This service for Vertue owners allows their boats to be displayed when they are For Sale . A small selection of up to date photos is included, together with the selling owner’s email address. Further details about all the boats can be found on each of the boat’s own ‘page’, in the main database. Please get in touch directly with the owners if you would like to buy their boat. These are all seriously classic boats, each one with her own distinctive character, yet all sharing the impeccable Laurent Giles Vertue pedigree. Betsinda on her mooring in Northern Ireland Betsinda is one of the later boats to be built by Elkins with the more spacious, 6′ long, cockpit. Built to a very high spec in 1954 with teak bottom, Honduras mahogany topsides, lead keel, bronze floors and keel bolts, she was later given a laid teak deck. Surely one of the smartest Vertues around, she has had a very pampered life in recent years with lots of money spent on her and not many miles under her keel. Betsinda is in commisson lying in Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland. She comes with an enormous amount of gear and spares and has recently had new LED lighting installed, and a new T H Norris propeller to match the 21hp Nanni diesel engine. Price £25,000 Contact Brian Law [email protected] _________________________ “ Sally II , a Laurent Giles 5-tonner, built in 1937, sail number V2, is for sale, the second Vertue in that most famous class, although the name only became associated with these sturdy, record breaking wee yachts after the war, when astonishing transatlantic and long distance feats were achieved by the likes of Humphrey Barton and others. Sally was commissioned by a Poole solicitor for local sailing, but in her time has cruised all over the UK, from Wales, across Channel to France, and currently on the West coast of Scotland. Structurally in excellent condition – her tungum bronze floors, lead keel, bronze bolts, pitch pine on massive oak timbers, have stood up well, and she makes next to no water on her mooring. After 30 years in the same ownership, she is tired and deserves an owner who can wield a paint brush and sander. Her Yanmar IGM 10 diesel is a few years old, with very low hours. Her six Richardson sails good for many more miles. Her varnished Noble mast almost like new. Sally has featured in many modest cruising stories in various magazines. An archive of photos and documents includes her original bill of sale from Elkins, a Blue Book and much more besides. Bought by her current owner for £10,000, with a recent survey, she is for sale at £15,000. A sheltered mooring is available, just across the loch from wooden boatbuilders Johnson & Loftus where she is slipped annually for maintenance.” Adrian Morgan Sally II on her mooring near Ullapool Summer 2024 paintwork Roger Robinson Writes: This boat is a very rare example of those few early Vertues whose purity of line and exquisite proportions first made people take note of these Giles 5 Tonners. There are very few of them left in the UK as several were lost many years ago, or are now treasured abroad. Sally ‘s nearest sister-ship, Karesta Ferida , with her slim rubbing band similarly accentuating that sublime sheerline, went to the USA, as did Charis , while ‘V3’ Monie is in Italy. Sally is surely one for the Vertue connoisseur. PRICE £15,000 Contact: Adrian Morgan [email protected] ____________________ VIRTUE FIDELIS Under sail some years ago off her home port of Dartmouth.

Plans to recycle more abandoned boatsMore abandoned boats are being targeted for recycling after a successful pilot project in south Devon, the local authority has said. Boats are regularly reported as abandoned, sunk or stranded within the Dart, Salcombe-Kingsbridge and Yealm estuaries, said South Hams District Council. "This is having an environmental and financial impact on the marine community," it said. After stripping a boat which had been abandoned on the Dart in March, the council said it was exploring "future opportunities to address the issue on a larger scale". 'Great deal learned'The council worked with Creekside Boatyard in Dartmouth and industry partners on the pilot project to dismantle a sailing boat and look at ways to recycle or reuse as many component parts as possible. The successful disassembly, reuse and recycling of the fibreglass boat "proved to be time efficient, and a great deal was learned during the process", the council said in a report. Component parts ranged from stainless steel rigging and bronze winches to the boat’s engine and electronics. 'Financial impact'Councillor John McKay, the council's executive member for climate change and biodiversity, said it wanted to work more closely with "industry partners, harbour authorities, marinas and boat builders". He said: "They are the ones who feel more closely the financial and environmental impact of end-of-life boats sitting in their waters and getting in the way of their day-to-day work." Anyone who spots an abandoned boat can report it on the Royal Yachting Association's Green Blue website. Follow BBC Devon on X (formerly Twitter) , Facebook and Instagram .

Posted on 09/08/2024 / Under News; Here is the lovely Vertue Sumara in Salcombe this summer, on her way down Channel. Welcome to the latest Newsletter.
The forerunner of the VERTUE class was the ANDRILLOT, designed in 1936 (specs above). Ten ANDRILLOT sister ships were produced prior to the outbreak of war in 1939. It was the fifth boat, EPENETA, that would ultimately give the class it's name but not until 1945. Over the years, various alterations were made to the […]
Most cruising sailors have heard of Vertue yachts. Though small in size—only about 25' LOA—they have an outsized reputation as the most successful design to come from English yacht designer Jack Laurent Giles during his long career. More than 200 of the boats have been built, and many of the exploits that their owners undertook have become legendary among ocean-cruising sailors.
One of the boats built to Laurent Giles Design No.0015 (as it was then known) was Epeneta, which won the Little Ship Club's annual Vertue Challenge Cup in 1939 for a 745-mile cruise of the ...

The plans themselves cost only about $250 for a large vessel and are extremely detailed and well done. The remainder of the price is the "license." The license to build is the firm's commission on designing it and is what makes the boat a "Giles Vertue" and not just another 25 foot sailboat. It authorizes the owner to call it a Vertue.

Based on the famous Vertue design by Laurent Giles, this is the very first example of what was known as the Vertue II, the same lines but built using GRP, completed in 1979 and built to Lloyds 100A1 classification.

The boat proved itself to be a very capable sea boat and so more were to follow. It wasn't until 1939 that the name Vertue was adopted for the class. The yacht "Epeneta", built to the same design, won the Little Ship Club's Vertue Trophy for making a passage across the Bay of Biscay and so it was decided to name the class "Vertue ...
02-24-2004, 07:40 PM. I'am with Aramas on this and as a former Vertue owner can vouch for the surprising amount of room in a 25.5ft hull. Laurent Giles got a bit of magic into this design, they have a very comfortable motion, are relatively dry and a fair turn of speed. They would run the legs of a Serrafyn/BCC.
Boat Details. Description. The 25' 4" Vertue Class Sloop designed by Laurent Giles is one of the most capable and well-loved small cruising yachts ever designed, and thus requires no further introduction.

For many years we spent 10 weeks a year on a 25 foot trailerable boat cruising Australian waters. My better half is 6'1". We extended the v-berth to increase the sleeping room to a decent size.
