You might want to look up the words 'sail' and 'sale' in a dictionary and use the more appropriate one  ------------- Best wishes from deep in the woods SB |

Why not try the Y&Y classifieds?
------------- Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else |

Sorry to say it but if it is a Tek Tera you may have a problem. i have just bought a Tera for my daughter and on researching it I was recommended not to buy a Tek version. There was a problem with the mast step in these boats. The boat I bought was a warranty replacement hull due to that problem.
So perhaps you need to reduce the price. You could also try the RS Tera class association wbsite. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

I was One of the AOD's for the Tera Nationals last year, and what a great boat they are.. I just wish that boats like that were around when I was in my teens. The boat seems to sail like an adult boat, and the fleet spirit (And politeness) is incredible.. From what, I have seen, and heard, you should have no trouble selling the boat.
I would heartily recommend it to any Junior sailor who wanted good sailing, good fleet racing, and a good social. I was knackered just watching everyone after the sailing, let alone during it. Was also impressed by the fleet coaches (I've been sailing over 30 years, and I learnt some tips, but, the coaches delivered all the info, in a way that even a numbskull like me could understand!! The class management seem to know exactly what to do to inspire and train junior sailors, while still keeping everyone polite and friendly.... A nicer junior fleet, I have yet to come across!! An inspiration to us all!, Jon Blaze 711 ------------- Blaze 711 |

The Tera in general is made from a thinner plastic than say the Pico/Topper range. Providing the boat has been well looked after and the condition reflect that it shouldn't have an issue. As for price, it appears to be about right, your advert though says £850 and £900,. you need to correct this though., Other sites, B+O, Y+Y and ebay ------------- |

One other thing would be to choose a picture of it with the Pro sail. My image consious 9 year old insisted on having a Pro Rig. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |
