Opening hours

Meet the chichester team, sam roberts.

Tansu and I would like to express our appreciation for the very professional manner in which the sale of the yacht was achieved.We look forward to a new adventure and wish you and Darcy every success in your careers. Kind regards.

Hi Darcy - just a brief note to say thank you for your help in selling the boat. I really appreciated your calm and professional approach to the process. You kept me informed at every step of the way and made sure I could input when necessary whilst really taking the lead on pushing the sale through and taking all the practical steps needed to secure the sale. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I’d have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ancasta to anyone considering selling their boat Very best regards.

I came to Ancasta Chichester to enquire about an Island Packet 485. As the deal progressed it became increasingly complicated due to factors from the survey and a sadly departed owner. Without much knowledge of the intricacies of the boat and the probability of an extensive project, it was certainly difficult. But thankfully, due to the level of professionalism, knowledge and attentiveness to both parties from Jamie and Darcy, the deal came to fruition. The real value of using a broker is not always evident but when things go badly, they are priceless. Thanks, guys. We are convinced that the sale was only successful due to your hard work and professionalism.When the time comes, Jamie and Darcy will certainly be my first port of call.

‘When we went to Ancasta Chichester to enquire about a pre-owned boat it was akin to being reacquainted with some old friends. I was with my family and we were made to feel very welcome. Both Jamie and Darcy knew the boats history and had clearly had in depth conversations with the then current owner. The presentation photographs and inventory were spot on. Subsequent viewing and the presentation of the boat was a pleasure and we were confident to proceed with the purchase and survey. Jamie and Darcy kept communication flowing and coordinated the lift out and dates with my selected surveyor. The entire process was directed by the office and we had a fantastic handover experience. This is the second positive experience and yacht we have purchased from Ancasta. It is not all about the boat, as the prep, the detail and the documentation are super important and this will stand you in good stead when you wish to sell and/or replace. All in all, we could not have asked for anything to be different; it was perfect thank you Ancasta and in particular Jamie and Darcy.’

I am semi retired and received an offer to return to work Overseas so I decided to sell my Nimbus 280, which I had purchased Sept 2221.I discussed the potential sale with Jamie Allwork and decided to go head, the advice was true, non pressured and professional and I felt well advised and in good hands.Along with his colleague Darcy my boat was put on the Market during May 22.My boat was sold in under a week, the price exceeded what I had paid for it six months ago further which indicated the valuation in current market was correct. The handling of the sale by your two employees was totally professional and seamless.Thank you Ancasta [Chichester Office] 

Tillie was an absolute delight to work with in selling my boat. I first contacted her on a Wednesday and had an agreed offer by the next Sunday - a remarkable achievement. The whole process went exceptionally smoothly, thanks to her willingness to coordinate the efforts of all those involved, from boatyard to surveyor, as well as the purchaser and myself. Her communication skills and focus on customer satisfaction are exceptional. I would not hesitate in recommending Tillie to anyone considering selling their boat.

Tillie provided an excellent, professional and very helpful service when we bought our first ever boat from Ancasta Chichester. We would thoroughly recommend her and the brokerage. Gingerxela

Geraint - great result! Thank you so much for your efficient service and for making the whole selling process so pleasant. You are one of the few people I know who works as hard and fast as I used to!

Broker Remarks

CONTESSA 28 - Built Jeremy Rogers, Lymington in 1978. White GRP hull, deck and superstructure, fin keel, tiller steering, Beta 16HP diesel shaft driven inboard engine, approx. 750 engine hours, serviced May 2018, 6 berths in 2 cabins with 6' headroom (2 x doubles, 4 x single berths), Blue/tan upholstery, teak faced ply, New Jabsco 2018 sea toilet in separate toilet compartment, Gas 2 burner cooker with oven/grill, ice box, Sanders 2009 main, No 1 genoa, No 2 genoa, jib and spinnaker, sail cover, plus Banks spinnaker, gas detector, 2018 lifebuoy, lifesling, compass, wind, speed, GPS, plotter, echo sounder, log, VHF, Raymarine ST2000 autopilot, Harken genoa self tailing winches, Lewmar spinnaker and halyard winches, Slab reefing, shore power, clock and barometer, boarding ladder, radio/CD player etc etc. The genesis of the Contessa 28 came when its designer Doug Peterson was in Lymington overseeing the construction of a number of his boats at Jeremy Rogers Custom division. One evening a group including such luminaries as Jeremy, Doug, Bill Green and Julian Everett went out for dinner repairing later to Jeremy's brother's house for a few more drinks and talk of boats, the conversation turned to a cruiser racer suitable for a small family. While talk continued Doug began sketching at the kitchen table... the sketches evolved into the 28. The Contessa 28 is a lot of boat for the length with up to six berths available together with an impressive turn of speed a 28 will frequently show a clean pair of heels to larger and more recent designs.  Below innovate design delivers a full size chart table as well as ample galley space - both a rarity in boats of this size. This 1978 example also benefits from a range of upgrades and enhancements. In a previous ownership it had its mast step and shroud bases rebuilt and reinforced with tie rods that are more than three times factory standard. Additionally the keel floors were reinforced and stiffened.  Meanwhile, on deck the Primary winches were replaced with Harken 40STs and the main sheet traveller replaced with Harken, a two ratio mainsheet was fitted.  Forward a Harken MK4 curler was fitted for the genoas and jibs. The upgrade programme was continued in our ownership during 2017, the installation of a Jabsco w.c. in 2018, fitting of teak effect decking to the cockpit and reupholstering of the saloon seatbacks. Aloft no sailmaker understands Contessas like Sanders and "Red October" comes with an extensive sail wardrobe from the Lymington loft. Owner's note: We bought "Red October" when our dinghy racing was curtailed by injury and we decided to give cruising a try. Having spent my University summers working and racing with Jeremy Rogers. I was drawn towards the Contessa margue. Initially I thought of a 26' but then I recalled how much more the 28' has in terms of interior and comfort. My assumptions were confirmed when bringing the boat to Chichester from her former home on the East Coast single handed the boat coped well with a variety of conditions boosting my confidence in her. Since then we have enjoyed a number of short cruises as well as day sails and the boat has never failed to deliver and we have enjoyed our time with her. Indeed, were it not for my long held ambition to own a Contessa 32 (fostered while I built five of them) we would have continued our adventures with "Red October".

Staying onboard you will notice that the tide comes and goes twice a day meaning that part of the day you are afloat surrounded by water and part of the day you are surrounded by mudflats and wildlife. It’s like living on an ever-changing canvas.

Testimonials

“Most importantly, having spent our first winter at Thornham, I wanted to comment that it has been super to keep our boat with you. You and Courtney have always been very friendly and responsive as have all of the guys around the yard. The other boat owners have also been extremely friendly – one chap even lent me some tools despite me meeting him for the first time which I thought was a lovely gesture. I have no doubt that we will be back (if you’ll have us!).”

“A huge thank you for all your support! Everybody has been extremely friendly & helpful & that makes such a difference at this uncertain time. We have also made many friends amongst your customers. You really have created a great atmosphere in your yard.”

My marina so what’s not to like, nice views good pontoons, nice friendly staff helpful. Nothing to complain about

Super staff here, nothing is too much trouble. Security gate access with a public footpath accessway for the lovely walk around the marina (great for dogs). They are dog friendly, patrons will find dog treats waiting and water readily available. Good prices for boat storage with excellent service. On site businesses available include teak teak decking, rigging and made to measure covers. On site showers with hairdryer and toilets. Very clean. Secure access for patrons only. Patrons also have access to a heated summer house on the waterfront where hot and cold drink making facilities are provided alongside seating, a microwave and free reading material.

Friendly, professional & helpful. Having purchased a yacht that was based at Thornham, we had first hand of their service. The staff are very helpful & friendly & the facilities first rate. For such a small marina, the shower & toilet block are lovely! Thanks again for making our stay so pleasant.

We have been keeping our 26ft lift keel sailing boat at thornham for 7 years now on a drying berth. The marina staff are wonderful and we know that if the weather arrives our boat will be checked on and looked after. The facilities are great, the vibe laid back, non competitive, friendly and social. The views from our boat when moored rival most marinas in the solent area.The Annual Hog Roast in the summer and Mince Pie ‘bake off’ in December are popular events and get all the boat owners together. Thank you Jeanette and the Team for making Thornham our ‘home from home’

This is our first year at Thornham Marina. From the response to my initial enquiry to the final positioning of our 8.5m yacht into her cradle for the winter, the service we have received has been excellent. Everyone has been very friendly, helpful and efficient. There is a very positive attitude of mind that sets this business apart from the great majority. I strongly recommend them.

Great location, great services and, best of all, great team. We’ve been wintering here since 2008 and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

We are both very impressed with what must be the friendliest and most helpful marina we have been to. That as well as the surroundings, walks and easy access to good anchorages in the harbour area make it good choice for us. Lately we have discovered that we no longer have to sail for miles just to reach a good spot for the night or nights, we can stay onboard at the marina and awake to the cuckoos or go down to Pilsea Island or East Head. Brilliant! The cafe / bar is worth a visit or two as well.

We’re just starting out with this boating thing and after buying a boat on ebay I needed to find somewhere to sail from. I don’t really know what I’m doing (but am learning fast) so was really pleased to find somewhere on the south coast that is easy going, supportive and affordable. Everyone there really knows what they’re doing and is always happy to help when you need it. There’s no glitzy chandler but there are proper trades there who can actually fix stuff when you need them to at very sensible prices. There’s just as much if not more support for us as we learn what we’re doing at Thornham than we would get at a sailing club from people who are experts in what they do. On top of that there are lovely warm loos / showers, hot food, a bar and absolutely stunning scenery… I don’t really know why you’d keep your boat anywhere else!
