Laurent Giles Rambler for sale lying ashore on the River Dart, Dartmouth with Devon Boat Sales. "Great Days" was designed by Jack Laurent Giles and built by J.J. Bickford of Topsham, Devon in 1956. She was built in the finest materials of the time to produce a safe and comfortable offshore cruising boat that could be easily handled.
After purchasing the boat in 2014, the current owner has taken part in various classic regattas and sailed her across the Atlantic, around the Caribbean and back to the UK via Bermuda and the Azores. Subsequently cruised north to Scotland, Faroe Islands and on to the east coast of Iceland.
