Cornish boatbuilder Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding has sold its first Duchy Motor Launch in Australia. 

The Falmouth-based company has extended its global reach by appointing Davis Marine Brokerage as its exclusive dealer in Australia, which has brokered the sale of a Duchy 35 Motor Launch. 

Duchy Motor Launches range from 21ft to 60ft and can be customised with optional extras. 

Cockwells is currently in the process of customising this Duchy 35 specifically for Australia. 

“Our Duchy Motor Launches resonate with the Australian market because they are the ultimate in British hand-crafted quality and can be customised specifically to cater for its climate and conditions,” said founder and managing director Dave Cockwell.

“We look forward to this new collaboration and to welcoming more owners to the Cockwells family from the opposite side of the world.”

Sam Davis, director at Davis Marine Brokerage, said: “Growing up on the Cornish coast, sailing family yachts and motorboats, working as a marina berthing assistant in Mylor Yacht Harbour and skippering yachts for a private hotel, my love of boating began at an early age.”
