Popular Craft from our range

latest model to the range was designed for the coastal sailor with a
more enclosed deck layout than the original open Lune Whammel craft.
She has a foredeck plus side and stern deck with a coaming around the
cockpit. This gives a comfortable and secure cockpit with the option of
a spray hood to enclose the forward part. There is a choice of two
different cockpit layouts with plenty of locker space for cruising
gear. One layout has the option of a dedicated locker for keeping a 4/
5 hp. modern 4 stroke outboard engine on board. With her shallow
draught and being easy to tow and launch she offers the potential of a
wide choice of sailing waters or she is equally suitable for use on a
tidal mooring.

of the Post Boat make for easy handling with performance to satisy the
most discerning of sailors. This craft has foredeck and side decks with
coaming which provides a safe cockpit with comfortable seating. There

stern locker in which a small outboard and other equipment can be
safely stored out of sight. An ideal craft for singlehanded or family
sailing. Easy to launch and retrieve on our purpose designed trailers
and a joy to sail. Judged by many as the best seaworthy dayboat of her
size.
