The lead is at the front of the cockpit, in line with the mast.

Stupid question. but whereabouts is the lead located? haven't checked mine, and the thing is very heavy, and quite old which might have something to do with it.

Take the lead out then!  Why do you need it valued?

haha! Funny but I need it valued!

I forgot to mention it has a compass and some lead. I doubt it's underweight now.

A DRY Rondar hull?!?  Of that age?!?!!? Probably the only one in the country.

Don't sell it, it's invaluable.

Hey guys and girls, need some valuing done.

Hull
1989 Rondar build,
Looks like its had a minor repair done on one side,
Nice chunk taken out of the tip of the bow,
Stress MARKS (not cracks) around the bottom pin of where the rudder attaches. Only gel coat deep. The pin itself doesn't wobble.
Minor scratches and dinks
IT IS PERFECTLY DRY! Not a drop of water in it after sailing.
(all sounds a lot worse than it actually is!)

Fittings
Mixture of them all! Harken, Ronstan, Holt etc...all fine.

Sails
2, well used but plenty of life left in them both. Perfect for club racing, maybe opens as well. One Wavelength and one North (I think). Both have a bags.

Spars
Wavelength mast and Super Spars boom. Both aluminum, both fine.

Foils
Centre board and rudder have a few minor chips and scratches nothing to worry about.

The boat is structurally sound, just a bit tatty around the edges but I have no shame in sailing her. Just re-progripped, also has both under/over covers, launching troll and combi trailer.

Value? I would guess around £700.
