Worth knowing
Bry Owen; cover, cost and conditions
Bry Owen is a maker of small motorboats whose models in our records all date from the 1970s. We hold no reliable record of its location or history, so this page describes the brand from our model data. The range consists of compact boats between just over four and just over six metres, the kind built for rivers, lakes and short coastal trips. Two naming patterns stand out: the Sea-Boat series carries three digit numbers giving the length in centimetres, while the others take place names such as Windsor, Sussex and Marlborough. Only the Victor 20 combines a name with a number.
Our records list seven models, all motorboats. Three belong to the Sea-Boat series: the 410 at 4.1 metres, the 445 at 4.45 metres and the 468 at 4.68 metres, all built from 1970 to 1977. The Windsor measures 4.5 metres and runs from 1970 to 1979, while the Sussex at 4.1 metres and the Marlborough at 5.1 metres are listed from 1972 to 1979. The Victor 20 is the longest model at 6.18 metres, built from 1970 to 1977. Six of the seven stay under 5.5 metres, and no build year after 1979 appears.
A Bry Owen today is roughly half a century old, and owners tend to keep these boats for the pleasure of running something simple and original. Small hulls like these live on a trailer, which makes winter storage in a shed easy and lets the hull dry out properly. Transom, floor and fittings deserve a careful look on any boat of this age, and many now run a newer outboard than the one they left the factory with.
