Cormoran offers a new owner keen to get boating in summer 2024 on one of the most stylish contemporary classics, the opportunity to jump the queue! We have no new build slots before spring 2025 from the yard so come and see Cormoran (the correct Cornish version of Cormorant with the same meaning!) in Falmouth (VAT and transport paid - ready to go cruising).

She has an impressive list of optional extras including a bow thruster, an electric loo with holding tank, fab furnishings, a powerful Yanmar 4LV 170 HP inboard diesel, a full height canopy with side windows, heated shower mounted on the stern above the bathing platform with engine heated boiler, aft access onto bathing platform with painted wood insert to match hull in RAL5004, telescopic bathing ladder with stainless steel grab handles on the stern, trim system and speedrails. In the cockpit you have LED lighting at floor level, Raymarine Axiom 7 depth and navigation system on dash, a cockpit table with two mountings forward and aft, footrests for helm and navigator, high varnish dash, swallows nests behind the cushions in the cockpit area (brilliant for suncream, sunglasses, binoculars, maps etc. On the forward deck there is an anchor with electric winch and a stainless steel protective plate. In the cabin there is a large kingsized plus berth which can be transformed into a dining area with loads of storage below the bunks, smart cabin lighting, a decent sized head and a neat galley with twin hob and sink. The fridge is a top loader so ideal for bottles as well as the usual victuals.

Statement marine has been building the PTS 26 since 2008 and we are proud to be their UK agents with a steady influx of beautifully built individually 'specd' models. No two are the same as the builders are sensitive to owners' requirements at all stages of the build process. They build three sizes in the PTS range including the new 24 and 34 with the 26 being the most popular and of which over 100 have been built to date (no more than 10 in any one year) for appreciative customers in Germany, Sweden, France, Switzerland and the UK. Customers love the mix of classic looks reflected in the windscreen, dash and chic interior with the sociability of the large welcoming cockpit. The builders are also manufacturers of Esthec which is a phenomenal modern material which looks just like teak with your choice of coloured caulking. Cormoran has light decks with black caulking so presents as very traditional. This is a model which is set to be a future classic in its own right.

One of the big pluses in this model is the weight which allows an owner to transport the boat between lake, river and sea as it can be trailed behind a 4 wheel drive on a suitable trailer.
