Description

We’re pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire a 50ft semi-trad sailaway built by the renowned boatbuilder R.W. Davis. Established in 1887, R.W. Davis are highly regarded for their craftsmanship across coastal and inland steel motor barges, earning a long-standing reputation for building, restoring, and maintaining exceptional vessels.

This sailaway will come with a new Boat Safety Certificate and offers a solid foundation for its next owner to complete. The boat features classic porthole windows, a freshly repainted cabin, and an epoxy-blacked hull for added protection and longevity. She is powered by a Lister three-cylinder engine, well known for reliability and smooth, efficient cruising.

Whether you’re looking to undertake your own fit-out or prefer to work with the experienced team at R.W. Davis to bring your vision to life, this vessel provides a fantastic and seldom-seen chance to own a boat from one of the most respected builders in the industry. Currently moored in Gloucester, she is ready for her next chapter.

Construction

Constructed in steel in 1997

A boat is not valued on its age. The age of a boat is irrelevant. A boat is valued based on who built the hull? Who fitted the boat out and what type of materials were used (Hard wood or MDF etc) What equipment does the boat have (Bow thruster, generator, inverters etc) These are just a few of the many factors that equate to the correct value of a boat.

Engine(s)

Lister 3 cylinder engine

BUYERS & SELLERS

When you buy a boat from us you pay all monies in to our company clients trust account which means that the buyers and sellers money is protected. This is the same account that solicitors set up for house sales .This money does not belong to the company it belongs to the buyer until the sale is complete and then we pay the seller from the company clients trust account. We cannot release the money from the Clients Trust Account to the seller until the vessel has been accepted and handed over to the buyer because if there was a fault with the vessel and the buyer refused to accept it and wanted their money back we could not do this because the seller would of already had the money. This could become a very costly and messy problem for all parties.

This money never enters our company current account. This also means that we cannot use customers money for other purchases/reasons. If at any point the company went bust then the buyers/sellers money is safe and it would go back to the rightful owner of the money.

We have had this company clients trust account set up from day one to protect our customers money. This account is a secure holding account. We pay the seller monies due from this account when the buyer has signed to accept the vessel. Payment is made from this account to the seller by cheque from the clients Trust Account which is protected guaranteed funds.
