I've finished cleaning the boat up and the sails are not as good as I remember them to be, so slightly lower price. Lots of photos posted at

Really nice boat, but it hasn’t been on the water for two years and I don’t see that likely to change. Son and I had a lot of fun learning about asymmetrics and trapezing, but he has moved away and I’m getting too old ……… The boat dates from about 1996 and is in good condition for its age with a few minor dings along the gunnels. It has only been sailed on fresh water since I bought it in April 2001
New Ronstan ratchet blocks for main and kite. Lots of other new blocks and ropes. New eye-bolts for shrouds. Aluminium boom, with straps fitted for main blocks and kicker.
Cunningham, outhaul, adjustable mainsheet strops and righting-lines tweaks all fitted as per the guides on this site (thanks Pete and Bob!)
Hull, wings, foils, mast and boom all in reasonable to good condition
Jib-furler fitted (like the Buzz). Class legal, but frowned on by the cognoscenti. Works really well with the Dacron training jib and makes the boat easy to launch and recover
West Mersea combi trailer, plus mast-foot bag and really good custom-fit lighting board (stainless steel, with mast support), plus all the straps and bungies.
Under- and over-covers – Over-cover has a couple of years left in it; under-cover is fine.
Sails – all Sobstad:
2 x jibs (poor condition),
2 x mains (both reasonable condition, one pink and one purple colour-way, only 1 set of battens),
2 x kites (pink is patched and thrashed, purple is still crisp and used 2 or 3 times at the most)
plus 1 x Dacron training jib, made by Hyde sails (nothing to do with the new ISO sails)
3 x jib sail-bags, 1 x main sail-bags, 1 x kite sail-bag and rudder foil-bag
Includes Magic Marine trapeze harness – old style, without a releasable hook – but it seems to fit a wide range of heights and body shapes.
This boat is ready to hitch up to your car, and ready to sail when you get it to the water. Lying at Swindon – 5 miles from M4, junction 16 ………. £1,000
