GENERAL NOTES
The Corvette hull sections as originally conceived by the designers Compton-McGill are very unorthodox, but the concept is also seen in the Searanger motor yacht (a Bill Dixon design). From the chines inwards for one third of the beam each side, the bottom is flat, but the lower area running along the centreline gives the hull a bowl-shaped section. Add a couple of spray rails, a single keel, and an enormous flare forward provides and safe a dry ride.
The 45-degree deadrise at the bow and the huge chine flats are instantly recognisable as Corvette. While it appears a typical trawler, the real surprise is below the waterline. The semi-displacement hull, complete with keel, has a substantial flat chine at the waterline, which explains the wide beam. The purpose of this is to combine the good handling and seakeeping of the semi-displacement boat, and its economy at slow speeds – with the efficiency of a planning hull at higher speeds. The hull has gained a reputation for great sea kindliness,
and because the broad beam is carried well forward coupled with the flare in the bow, it gives a relatively dry ride. The boat planes easily, packs in a lot of sensible accommodation, and yet at the same time, copes with some rough conditions
COMMENTS
Men A Vaur is a well looked after example of this very popular trawler yacht like semi displacement motor yacht. The interior timber work presents very well for a yacht of her age. She is well equipped with safety and navigational equipment and is ready for the season. The current owner has arranged for her to come out of the water for an underwater service in June 2026. Last serviced in 2024, antifouled in June 2025 using Cu-pro and recent lift out shows a clean hull and anodes in good order.
The Corvette is at home on rivers and inland waterways as well as providing excellent sea keeping for longer offshore trips – an ideal family yacht bur also easily handled by a two-person crew for extended voyages to Europe and beyond.
For more detailed information please contact us. She has just been lifted out of the water and had an under water service including antifouling. She is priced to sell and offers on the asking price will be considered.
