The Colvic Watson motorsailors' hull derives from lifeboats (Watson, Maclachlan, Arun and Waveney Class) all designed by G L Watson & Co.
As a motorsailor the Colvic Watson 28'6" has all the credentials required. A tough, heavy-displacement sailing boat for passage making, yet stable and easily manoeuvrable under engine. With the addition of a deep, secure cockpit and a spacious wheelhouse shielded from the elements, it stands as a truly versatile vessel capable of navigating a wide range of conditions.
She's easy to step aboard and feels very safe and secure on deck with plenty of handholds. Going into the wheelhouse the companionway is wide giving her a lovely open feel and making short handed berthing within reach. All lines are lead back to the cockpit where she can be steered by tiller.
Going below into the accommodation she retains the light airy feeling and with standing headroom at 1.9m seems like a much bigger boat. The galley is well laid out and everything is operational without the need to plug in to shore power. The saloon seating is comfortable and converts to a large double berth with the table also fitting the cockpit. There is ample usable storage throughout.
This is a great example of these fantastic boats, she's clean, presents well and has been maintained and upgraded by experienced owners. She's all geared up to liveaboard but could equally cruise or day sail happily. She's well maintained having just come ashore for service, anodes and antifoul and is available for easy inspection on request
