If it helps you to have a format to follow, this is a fairly successful template
For Sale – Type of boat, sail number, county or town where it is

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.

Where have all the recent For Sale ads for boats gone, you may ask?
All the boats have sold…
For the first time in about 5 years there are no complete boats for sale on this listings page, and in the last couple of months (Sept to Oct 2026) the boats sold quickly – it seems to be a buyers market.
For Sale – Combi Trailer suitable for a Comet Trio – £500 – Hampshire (Ad placed October 2026)
For sale Combi Trailer suitable for a Comet Trio. 8 inch wheels. Complete mudguards, bearings seem OK, suspension seems fine. One tyre is dated 2017 and the other is dated 2022. This trailer was in regular use until April 2026, and has been stored since.
The length for using on a Comet Trio is fine, the only challenge is that the road base is wide enough for a Wayfarer, so it works fine with a Comet Trio but the trailer wheels run outside of the vehicle wheels (unless you have quite a wide towing vehicle).
Road base
Road tyres outside to outside 2060 mm
Overall length from start of towing hitch to back of trailer 3270mm
Trolley
Centre of mounting pipe to back 2900mm
Width of the area where the hull sits 1190
New and unused trolley tyre
This was made by Hayling Trailers (so therefore before the type approval law changes in 2012).
£500. Can be collected from North East Hampshire.
Launching Trolley suitable for a Comet Trio or a Wayfarer – £100 – Hampshire (Ad placed October 2026)
Three years ago I bought an ex-training Comet Trio from an inland sailing club to renovate, and it came on this launching trolley. I’ve no longer a need for it, so it is for sale.
It spent its entire time at a freshwater inland lake, so it’s in lovely galvanised condition, and if it was supplied at the time that the Trio was supplied, was made around 1998, but there are no helpful markings on it.
If you want to sit it in a combi trailer, the essential dimensions are the distance between the outside of the A-frame tubes as they attach to the rear axle beam, and that is 1325mm, and the distance from the front of the axle beam centre to the centre of the locating hole at the front, and that is 2845mm
£100. This can be collected from North Hampshire.
