For Sale and Wanted


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.

Email webmaster@cometcombinedclasses.co.uk to post For Sale and Wanted notices.

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.

Versa 249

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.

Future Events

The next event on the calendar is the CometFest at Cotswold SC on the 13/14 June. Poppy and Jane are working hard to get the details published so keep an eye out on the CCCA Facebook page. This event incorporates the Versa Inland Championships so all you Versa sailors out there, this is your event! Of course the Trios, Duos and Zeros are all welcome too and the more the merrier, at the last count there at least 8 Trios planning to come. Loads of good camping for camping for tents, caravans, camper vans and motor homes. Fresh water, showers and toilets in clubhouse.  Portapoti disposal and fresh water tap by main gate.   There’s a meal planned for Saturday night and refreshments during the day.    Plenty of takeaways and pubs locally. It all sounds like a lot of fun so do make the effort to come.

Following that the Trio Nationals are at Exe SC on the 7, 8, 9 Aug. NoR and SIs are on the Exe SC website and entries are now open.

The last event of the season is a cruising event at Poole YC on 26/27 Sep. We do hope that those of you who don’t race (and perhaps some that do) will take the opportunity to join Cody SC members in cruising the beautiful waters of Poole Harbour.
