Laurent Giles Channel Class Sloop - 1938 - Recently reduced down to £19,950
'Triune of Troy' built immediately pre-war by A H Moody & Son Ltd is one of what became known as the 'Channel Class' and was completed in 1938 for Lord Russell of Liverpool. The famed design (No.19) from the board of Laurent Giles boasted a graceful sheer, balanced overhangs and a powerful Bermudan cutter rig and was built of Pitch Pine on Oak.
Post war, 'Triune' was owned by the writer Hammond Innes for a number of years who then sold her to Sir Charles Evans; the inspired adventurer credited with promoting the use of oxygen in climbing Everest. In more recent times (since 1991) she has been in the diligent ownership of Dr David Knights with good fundamental work carried out as required over the 27 years of his 'watch'.
Its now time that this historic classic be passed on to someone with the eye, ability and determination to maintain her in the manner that befits such a capable example of our sailing heritage. Indeed, a recent very kind contact from a previous owner of 'Triune' ended in the expression of hope that ..." someone will express interest in 'Triune' soon - she is a lovely boat and sails 'like a witch' in a breath of wind as well as in a force 8!" .... and we are grateful to be able to pass such independent, yet experienced and relevant opinion on.
'Triune of Troy' is now berthed very close to our office in Sutton Harbour Marina for easy viewing.

A very informative 12 minute video was prepared in December 2019, you can view this video at this link:
The list of owners of this 1938 Channel class is most distinguished: Built immediately pre-war for the second Lord Russell of Liverpool. In 1950 she was purchased by Captain Arthur Johnson RNVR who later sold her to Ralph Hammond Innes C.B.E., the author, but Johnson came to regret the decision to sell and attempted unsuccessfully to buy her back from Innes, who dedicated his novel ‘The Wreck of the Mary Deare’ to The Mate & Crew of Triune of Troy in memory of a gale off the Minches.
Subsequently she was owned by, among others, Sir Charles Evans, the mountaineer credited with promoting the use of oxygen in climbing Everest, and Chris Elliott, at one time Master of RSS James Clark Ross the British Antarctic Survey research ship
Built of pitch pine on oak in 1938 by A H Moody & Sons of Swanwick.
The original strap floors have been replaced using silicon bronze together with their fastenings, the cockpit has been replaced and re-built; the current deck is the third in the life of the vessel (now of 18mm marine ply, epoxy-sheathed with glass and finished with deck paint),the hull's planking has been re-caulked and the genuine Burmese teak cappings are of timber salvaged from the former Naval Hospital here in Plymouth!
The for'peak has been rearranged, with the original single folding pipe cot removed making way for generous size fixed berth to port with the marine flushing head moved aft on the starboard side to offer better access and space and also accommodating a self-stowing chain stowage to the starboard side.
A self-stowing chain locker has been provided, good quality, self-tailing winches and modern instrumentation fitted and the marine flushing head replaced.
The coach roof is the original and was pioneering in its provision of a practicable doghouse toward the aft end of the accommodation - a design that evolved into the later and longer stepped coachroofs synonymous with Nicholson and Holman designs of the 1960's.
Triune of Troy still sports her original mast and boom, the latter converted to enable slab reefing of the mainsail and an aluminium spinnaker pole with ProFurl reefing gear on the outer forestay.
A Beta Marine BD1005 auxiliary diesel engine (approx 25 HP) was fitted to port of the centreline in 1997 and drives a two-bladed folding propeller.
Sail Inventory Includes:
A Beta Marine BD1005 diesel, rated at approx 28 BHP replaces the previous engine and was fitted in March 1997, turning an offset, two-bladed, folding propeller. Reported as delivering 5.5 knots cruising and a little over 6 knots maximum speed.
General note on safety equipment: Any safety equipment such as Liferafts, Epirbs, fire extinguishers and flares etc. are usually personal to the current owner(s) and if being left on-board as part of the sale of a used vessel may require routine servicing, replacement, or changing to meet a new owners specific needs.
The vendor is prepared to include a scarce Plymouth City Council mooring with this yacht, there is currently a six year waiting list for these moorings!
This Tamar River mooring is situated just below the Tamar bridge off Saltash Sailing Club and includes ownership of the mooring tackle and buoys.
