JERSEY 36 ELANCO
The beauty of the British boatbuilding industry is that just when you think you know every yard, make and model there is to know, another one pops up to prove you wrong. In fairness, Landamores is far from new, having been building boats in Wroxham, Norfolk since 1923. However, since the majority of them have been sailing yachts they haven’t troubled the pages of Motor Boat & Yachting for a while. Furthermore, until recently they rarely sold any boats under their own name as the lion’s share of production was given over to building the popular range of cruising yachts for Oyster.
When Landamores sold that part of its business to Oyster in 2012, it decided to start marketing boats under its own name again and now builds everything from one off custom-built sail and river boats to semi-production motor cruisers, like this Jersey 36. If the shape looks familiar, that’s because it started life as the Arvor Guernsey 34 – a shortlived attempt by the US Brunswick
