All ready to go- Devon Lugger, Scaffie and Dabber in convoy to Beale Park from Honnor Marine's boatyard
All arrive safe in fine weather

 

Always nice to meet up with Brian Birke from Emsworth who was showing a keen interest in our show Dabber as he had sold his boat
Our 15'6" Racing Green Dabber with cream sails for £7495.00 including VAT is excellent value and built to a very high standard. It is CE marked for 5 people (5 x 75Kg).

 

This year for the first time we took her on the new easy launch galvanised trailer which was greatly admired. We took 5 orders for it.
Our 14'9" Devon Scaffie always gets lots of interest. With her 5ft 9" beam and 100 sq ft  single lug sail she is a very nice day sailing boat. Easy to launch and retrieve  single handed at £6495.00 Including VAT she is excellent value. It is CE marked for 4 people (4 x 75Kg).
The Devon Scaffie has 2 rowing positions and is completely full of the new approved buoyancy foam- a very safe boat

 

The Scaffie mast can be dropped very quickly when approaching any bridge.

 

 

Honnor Marine's Devon Lugger is a very popular family day sailing boat and is CE marked for 7 adults (7 x 75Kg). She is very easy to handle  and also full of buoyancy. At £8495.00 including VAT she is a very affordable safe boat.
Honnor Marine  build all their own trailers in house (see here for further details). Each one is designed for easy launching and towing. The one shown her with the 18' 9" Lugger enables single handed launch and recovery.

The Lugger trailer comes with a 5 year warranty on the axle which has sealed units should the trailer be immersed completely in water. On most slipways total immersion need not occur with only the wheels going into the water.

This family boat show encourages many friends and customers to come and visit us. Always a pleasure to meet Gordon and Shirley Cousins from Poole.
Plenty of activities for the children

 

All Honnor Marine's sails carry a 5 year warranty. They are made from 7 oz  terylene and you have a choice of tan or cream
Even the locals enjoyed the show, including the black sheep!
The weather at Beale Park was a bonus which encouraged lots of visitors and created plenty of boat orders.

Bob and Norma thank all of our visitors, friends and new customers for their support and look forward to meeting them all next year
