I am looking for a Gull to buy but the few I have seen I keep missing. I have alerts on eBay, Gumtree, Apollo Duck and Y&Y and am keeping an eye on some fb groups. Have I missed anywhere obvious please? My current Lightning was offered to me in the ladies changing room at my club so was v easy to acquire in comparison.

Any help v appreciated as the Gull is to enable my daughter with physical special needs to sail and although we can get by in the club Hartley 12 it is pretty uncomfortable for her. TIA

There is a chap in the Lightning fleet who is also a Gull sailor pretty close to WOSC at Dorchester. He seems to have his finger on the pulse of the Gull fleet. I'll pm you his name, the LN sailors at your club will be able to put you in touch.

Otherwise, Boats and Outboards, but they are a shadow of their former selves, and doing what you are doing already, making sure people know you are interested.

Thank you I have replied to your message but didn’t know about Boats and Outboards although just this very minute we might have found one 🤞
