It's been over 50 years since small fiberglass yachts became available in the UK and the market for these small mini cruisers literally exploded. As yachts have got bigger and bigger over the intervening years, these small craft have been crowded out somewhat by the big boats and expensive marina charges. That said they can make a perfect small day sailor with the benefit of somewhere below to make a cup of tea or have a snooze while at anchor compared to an open day boat.
There are undoubtedly some tubs around from those days especially the experimental 60's and the unrestrained 70's but equally there are some good examples and while not suggesting these particular boats are in the bargain basement catagory, many can be had for a song.
Back in the day there was a bit of a fad for bilge keelers, some of which unhappily sailed sideways rather than go to windward so research and careful choice for the intended type of sailing is required.
There are also some tough little offshore cruisers among them, we met an Newbridge Virgo Voyager (like the second pic down) which had sailed to the Azores from England, A club member from the RAFYC had made several channel crossings in his 25 foot Westerly Tiger.

I think photo 3 is an Elizabethan 23. Built by Peter Webster, designed by David Thomas. Pretty boats, good performers, and this one looks to be very well cared for.

Hi, My name is kashia cox, I live in US and I just want to share my experience with everyone. I have been hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and I never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day I discovered a hacking guy called Bill Dean. He is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. Then he told me Yes and that it's a card programmed for random money withdrawals without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and I still had my doubts. Then I gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying it was not a scam. One week later I received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $5000 every day. This was unbelievable and the happiest day of my life. i was using the card without any stress of being caught. I don’t know why i am posting this here, i just felt this might help those of us in need of financial stability. a blank ATM has really changed my life. If you want to contact them, Here is the email address: officialhackingcompany@gmail.com
