Selling a boat

It turns out that selling a boat is far harder than buying one.

Kate must go, she's 17'3" long and sits on a trailer with new bearings and one new tyre. She recently travelled to Beaulieu and back where lots of people admired her but no-one bought her.

Before going to Beaulieu she got a nice new blue coat on her topsides, some antifouling on her bum and a white stripe in between. We bought her in a proper state and cleaned her up lovely and I have learnt an awful lot about boat maintenance and repair. We have also learnt about sailing and, quite importantly, when not to sail. A boat that small teaches you a lot of respect for the sea and weather.

It is also a huge amount of fun.


Someone has to buy her soon, please.  SOLD
