Bob and Norma Brown - Honnor Marine In the summer of '97 I was looking to buy a Coaster and found myself buying the company that produced them! Honnor Marine (UK) Ltd had gone into liquidation. They had been building and selling these boats for over 30 years. I had always admired these lovely classic boats and I felt that they should go on being manufactured, so I made an offer on the company and soon found myself the proud owner of the moulds. I moved the business up to the North of England to my existing factory site where we have during the last six years obtained our CE Mark for our full range of boats. As we cannot use the original trademark as it was given to McNulty Boats Ltd, which went into liquidation in September ’02, we now call our boats "The Original Devon Range". |

recently, Nick and Lyndsay, developers of the Cape Cutter 19 were looking
to gear up the production of this much sought after boat to meet growing
international demand. We got chatting and I am now the proud owner of the moulds
and production rights to the Cape Cutter 19. It is very exciting to add this
boat to our fleet. She has proved herself to be a great sailing boat and she
truly completes and is an asset to our range. We look forward to servicing the
Cape Cutter 19 owners and with your support, continuing to grow from strength to
strength. Their love of traditional boats
developed in the Caribbean where they purchased and renovated a Dix designed Shearwater excursion schooner for day sail.

Impressed by her good looks and sailing ability, Nick and Lyndsay contacted Dix on
their return
to South Africa and commissioned him to design the Cape Cutter 19. |
