How do people expect to sell anything with photos like this one:

Foreground artistically contrasting with the main subject, hull colour blending seamlessly into the background, general look of being abandoned on the kerbside, bunched-up sail and, to top ot all, a strange feeling of double vision with an aft mast for free (handy in the dark). This is Contender 518, going for £900 in Cheshire... I wonder if it's been sold yet
