Adverts for For Sale or Wanted are free if the advert is for one of the CCCA Classes. Any advert will be removed approx 3 months after date of entry, or on notification from the seller or buyer.

Feel free to try selling your boat here before advertising on Apollo Duck or eBay. All I need is a few nice pictures and the usual information, by email is fine.

Whether you are prepared to deliver it, and how far you’d be prepared to deliver it.

It’s always nice to know the history of the boat, or history of you and the boat (competitions won, adventures accomplished) and so on.

And then, as many photos as you want – the more photos the easier it is for a prospective buyer to assess the boat, sails, ancillary equipment and so on.

Wanted: Comet Versa Sails

My home club has an abandoned Versa in its dinghy park which once we jet washed it is in really decent condition. Trailer, trolley, spars, folis all there but no sails. We would like to use it as an ideal club training boat but would rather avoid buying brand new sails. Could I put up a wanted advert in case any owners have more than one suit of sails and we could buy their spare sails.

For Sale Comet Versa 336 £2700 Lea Valley

The boat has:

an outboard pad
oars and fittings for oars
centre-rigged mainsail and furling jib
spinnaker
flyaway jibstick (kit supplied by Andy Simmons at Comet Dinghies)
hatches fore and aft
launching trolley including jockey wheel
overboom cover (replacement cover from the same company as the original supplied with the boat)

The boat was bought new in 2007 and has been berthed at Fishers Green Sailing Club ever since. It was sailed there regularly for some years, but because of knee problems it has not been sailed in the last few years.
