I used this from a previous post when Sold my boat privately

BILL OF SALE

In consideration of payment of the sum of [price] [if the transfer is a gift or the price is not to be disclosed, use "£1 and other valuable considerations"], receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, [full name of seller] hereby unconditionally conveys, assigns and transfers to [full name of purchaser], with full title guarantee, all of his right, title benefit and interest in and to [description and identification of goods].

Signed by:
[signature of seller]
[date]
[witness' signature, name and address] [optional]

In the case of a British registered ship, the ownership is divided into 64 shares so the Bill of Sale should specify how many shares are to be transferred (e.g. "64/64 shares in the vessel [name, official number]")
 
If you search the internet you will find a standard contract of sale to download. I believe the RYA website may be one source. I used one when I sold my last boat privately and it gives a reassuringly professional feel to the transactions.
