Why, because i only really bought the boat as something to fill the gap while Mopps gets his act, and money, together.
The what is a 14 that were hopefully going to look at next weekend.

have a look on www.apolloduck.co.uk there are usually a few for sale on there but they tend to move quickly, I have had 3 rs 600s

630, 652 and 655 and they have all sold in 1 or 2 weeks

but well worth a look or even try www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk or www.dinghyshop.co.uk

good luck.

You're selling yourself short at £1800, unless it's a shed you should be able to ask £2k plus. There's boats in the 600 sail numbers going for that much

Thanks for the advise i'll look further into pricing when it comes to actually selling her. I'm sure she won't be much trouble to shift.

Nothing wrong with swimming, steep learning curve, a lot quicker than climbing up the ladder, just start on lighter days and in no time you can handle stronger winds.. Although been able to trapeze will make it quite a lot easier

I can trapeze, I'm just rustier than Yikes' launching trailer!

Thats what the contender will be for .. a few months brushing up on trapezing, and getting helming from the wire sorted in a boat that can take a few knocks, and then move on to 600 / Musto ( or a cheap 700 ) in 6 months time.

Keeping the Vareo incase the whole idea doesnt work ... and I can then sell the contender on, and have no losses. Else Vareo will go, Contender will go, and one of the above will make an appearance

Trapezing is a piece of piss James! Stop being such a fanny and get on with it.
