I'm having to completely re-think my sailing options for next year. Due to some health issues I am not going to be able to comtemplate dinghy sailing,unfortunately, for a while at least. This means that I'm going to have to get something with a bit of lead underneath it and no sitting out required! I'm gutted, but there we are.
I am therefore putting my 3 boats up for sale.
1. 1969 Finn,believed to be Elvstrom. Reasonable condition. 1 reasonable sail, 1 not so good. Mast and boom very good. Cockpit board will need replacing over the Winter, but safe and sailable as it is now. Launching trolley. £400 ovno.
2. Believed early 70's Shearwater catamaran. Reasonable condition. Moulded hulls. Sail number 1943. 3 mainsails, 2 jibs, 2 spinnakers. Good cover. Launching trolley. £250 ono
3. My Baby...IC K127, Avalon built, 1969. good condition. Launching trolley. Excellent mast and boom(s). Multifarious sails. Good condition. Brilliant fun. £500 ovno
I can't believe I'm doing this, but I've got to bite the bullet and be practical!

Any photos you could post would be a help so I could circulate at the local club
Re: Various boats for sale
Simon, Sorry to hear you are selling your boats. Hope the health issues resolve and you can get back into dinghies in the future. Best wishes.

Re: Various boats for sale
Hi everyone, thank you for interest in my Finn. She has moved on to West Wales now. I am still open to offers on the IC and my Shearwater.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for your message. Have been chatting with Graham this weekend about his boats - in fact it was him who pointed me in the direction of the one Simon had.
See you at Roadford sometime soon...
