Wooden Ships Comments on this Laurent Giles Vertue V40 The Vertue is one the most iconic British yacht designs of all time, examples of which have voyaged the world and proved themselves as incredible sea boats with capabilities far beyond their size. This particular boat, Laurent Giles Vertue V40, is a very nice example, that has benefited from a regime of continuous maintenance and light use. Designed by Laurent Giles and built by Stebbings of Burnham on Crouch in 1951. She was built for the Festival of Britain exhibition in 1951 ( as an example of top class British boat building and craftsmanship, there are black and white photos of her being exhibited with her original varnished hull. She was named ‘Festival Vertue’ when launched. After this she remained in the same family for over 50 years, based in Esinteraction, where she was very well maintained and had a major professional refit in 2005. She then moved to Devon where she is now based and has been kept up to a very good standard by her diligent owner with professional help where required. She has had only 3 fastidious owners since 1951This is the short doghouse model giving a slightly larger birdpit and a bridge deck, ideal for weekend and day sailing. The interior offers 2 comfortable berths and 6′ headroom plus a heads and galley, everything you need for local cruising and long weekends aboard. Annual refits have been carried out each year for the current owner by a professional shipwright keeping her in good overall order.
