Turks Launches Ltd. in England is holding a sale of up to 200 small craft used in some of the most famous movies and TV series of the past fifty years or so, including the Harry Potter movies, and the Swallows And Amazons and Hornblower TV series.
Here are a few of the boats up for sale.
Fantasy 'swan dinghy' used in various TV productions
Victorian river launch, dating to the 19th Century and still operational
There are more pictures of all the boats up for sale at the link. Those who tastes run to modern fast craft will doubtless turn up their noses at the old dinghies, punts, canoes and other vessels on sale, but for those with an eye for history and craftsmanship, this is a very interesting event.

I love Swallows and Amazons! Too bad I don't have a place to put a boat :/
And if you want a really exciting light craft, there are always petrol launches.
