Thornycroft/Nelson designs are synonymous with fast working craft, patrol boats and the like where sea-keeping qualities at speed were the priority. The Nelson 34, famously built on the Isle of Wight since 1962, were regularly seen on pilot duties or in use by the Royal Navy to ferry officers to their ships. When retired from service they are often fitted out as motor cruisers and enjoyed by owners who appreciate style.
There are many different internal configurations on the same hull. This particular relatively early 34 has the shorter wheelhouse which gives good accommodation forward and ...

This is a lovely boat, first built on the south coast (Shoreham I believe) for the Navy, in 1969, and worked as a fast harbour launch in Gibralter and possibly Malta up until the turn of the (21st) century. There is an association with the navy ship "HMS Collingwood", hence the name, but I think it more likely that the association is with the training establishment HMS Collingwood in Portsmouth. She was brought back to this country and used for training up until the time the Navy sold her. There is much paperwork concerning refits etc.
She was bought in 2010 and converted to a sea ...

'HUMBUG' was chosen by its present owner for safety, seakeeping qualities, layout, practicality, comfort, and Nelson looks, and she has never disappointed.
Initially kept on a private pontoon on the tidal Beaulieu River with annual lift-outs for antifouling. Used for all-weather family excursions to Cowes and wider Solent, mostly day trips. Accommodation is spacious and comfortable for 3-4 adults with good headroom. Ample storage space. Turns on a sixpence at low speed but has plenty of power for open water.
The Galley is fully equipped with crockery, cutlery, utensils, and pans (see invent...
