"Just finished handing over Travis to Henry, who seems keen as mustard and pleased as punch! Just a note to thank you for all your help and your wise guidance to Henry, matching the right buyer with the right boat."

"Thank you Gail and Gillian for the advice and assistance in effecting this sale along with the skill of your boat builder Ellie who transformed the appearance of Macavity".

And what a pleasure it was. Most impressed with your brokerage yesterday. Not the usual set-up I have encountered, far more personal and good to speak to someone who really knows her product – I can see why you are successful.

I just wanted to say how delighted we are with the boat. We've had several super days on the Thames, not going far but really enjoying it. As I think you may have noticed when we first met, I'm not a natural sailor but it's been great. Thanks also for negotiating the mooring.

Thank you very much indeed. She is beautifully crafted and a fabulous boat. Congratulations to you on the whole team for creating such an incredible and beautiful craft.

I’ve spent pretty much most of the summer cruising up and down the Thames on 'Feisty' excepting compliments on behalf of the boat. Even when surrounded by some spectacular gin palaces, the PTS still gets the attention, from three lock keepers as well, which has to be the ultimate accolade, I thank you and Statement Marine for that.

BTW the canopy curtains are a brilliant idea, as too the shower.

Firstly, thank you. I’m sure Andy and his wife will make many happy memories on the boat and great work on getting it to market and finding him / closing the deal. You’re fantastic at what you do.

Many thanks for selling Barn Owl so quickly. It is sad to see her go but you have made the process as painless as possible.

Thank you so much for your diligence, care and professionalism in response to my enquiries about an Andrews Slipper.

I enjoyed yesterday very much despite the weather and returned to London much informed of the realities of classic/traditional boat ownership.
