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: Good North Mk1 Main and Jib for a Comet Trio
I am after a good North MK1 main and Jib for my Comet Trio, I would be very prepared to travel as I am not in a position to buy a new set of sails at this point.
For Sale – Comet Trio Combi Trailer – £400 – Surrey
This is an old, steel galvanised road base and trolley which fits under a Comet Trio.
However, it is a bit short for a Comet Trio – the noseweight on the tow hitch is about neutral when it should have a downforce, so it’s OK for use under a Comet Trio (and was used for about 20 years) but it’s not ideal.
Full disclosure, the handle rusted off the launching trolley and broke off, and the area has been reinforced with welded steel and the handle has been welded back on and painted on the outside, but the galv on the inside will have been compromised, so this really needs either a new trolley (and since the manufacturer is no longer trading, this would have to be copied) or the front of the trolley remanufactured and then the whole thing re-galvanised. The road base is in good order.
Wanted – Comet Trio Mk1 Sails
I am after a set of second hand sails; jib, mail and spinnaker for a Comet trio Mk1. Sails must be in good condition. Price around £300. I’m in Somerset. Mick
Comet Versa 249 – East Grinstead, West Sussex, £2,800
One careful owner, in excellent condition for its age (21yo). Red hull, gelcoat faded where exposed to sunlight.
Cruising setup, with Iroko on gunwales, metal strips on bilge keel. Outboard motor pad. Lockers fore and aft. Aft mainsheet. No gennaker. Boom up cover. Road trailer with good tyres. Separate trolley (not a combi). Undercover for use when towing.
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.
