The Colvic Watson 19.5 represents the smallest entry in a legendary lineage of motor sailers defined by their "little ship" aesthetic and formidable seaworthiness. Designed by the esteemed naval architects at G.L. Watson & Co. Ltd, a firm world-renowned for their pioneering work on RNLI lifeboats and classic superyachts, the 19.5 was intended to offer the security of a much larger vessel within a compact, 19-foot, 6-inch frame. While many small cruisers of the 1970s and 80s prioritized light-air performance or trailerability, the Watson 19.5 was built for the rugged conditions of the British coastline, featuring a heavy-displacement hull, a signature canoe stern, and a high-volume GRP layup that has allowed many examples to survive decades of hard use.
