Worth knowing
Cygnus Marine Ltd; cover, cost and conditions
Cygnus Marine is based in Falmouth on the south coast of Cornwall and has been building glassfibre boats there since the seventies. The yard has its roots in working craft: commercial fishing boats, workboats and patrol vessels, each fitted out to what the customer needs. The range runs through the GM series from the GM 15 to the GM 40, alongside lines such as the Cyclone and Typhoon and individual designs like the Tornado. Plenty of these hulls end up in private hands later on, with anglers and coastal skippers who want a sturdy boat for lumpy water. Dealers describe the GM 19 as having a heavily laid up hull intended for commercial work.
Our model records list two Cygnus designs, both classed as motorboats. The GM 19 measures 5.85 metres and is listed with build years from 1981 to 2015, a span of 34 years. That means boats with the same name vary a great deal, from early eighties hulls to boats built after 2010, with very different engines and wheelhouses. The Tornado is the larger boat at 8 metres and runs from 1996 to 2002 in our records. Neither design reaches the most recent build years, so a Cygnus today is mostly found on the British used market.
A boat from a working background is built to be used hard, and many were. On a used GM 19 the first questions are about its past: was it fished commercially, how many engines has it had, and has the wheelhouse been changed. Look at the deck where pot haulers or davits were bolted on, because old fixings let water into the core. Engine hours, the condition of the shaft or leg and the state of the fuel tank matter more than cosmetic gelcoat. A heavy hull rides well in a short sea but asks for a decent engine, so check that the fitted power suits the weight.
