Yes the one with slight damage certainly looks the best buy, although not a winder it should be reasonable competitive being a relatively modern composite, and will probably be easier ot resell once you have finished with it.

Not used for 15 years???? Would the price be up for negotiation then!?

But seriously guys stop suggesting boats for £1000. We dont have that much money!! We are after something really cheap to sail together! We are struggling to convince our parents to pay £850 at the moment..........Aparently having 2 600's is enough

Chris you should be ashamed of yourself - not using a boat for 15 years is very very sinful!!!!

It is a very long story, I sailed it at the Europeans all that time ago, the owner (my crew) then decided to take up hill climbing, I bought the boat from him 5 years ago as it was always a nice looking boat and that is that. Was hoping to use it for club racing but have never got around to putting the fittings on after a re varnish.

I have had other boats to use, not always my own which have taken priority particually in my line of work.

Thanks anyway!

How much is a new fireball mast because he says he will swap for one. It could be worth a try

Hi folks I have a fireball for sale in your price range, if your still looking.

Its a fibreglass one but performs very well for an old boat, left a nationals winning wooden fireball for dust the other week. Its also very sweet on the helm no weather even in strong gusts and no wobble.

Selling cos my wife hates it, to much stuff to pick up bruises on!

It comes with a combination trailer (modified to fit the boat) and three spinnakers, I've only used one of them, which works well and still has some crisp left in it, not sure what the others are like. Main and jib also in reasonable condition.
