The end of our dinghy park

   Worth selling stuff just to get someone else to take it away. Oddly, it seems easier to sell stuff for a few quid than to give it away. A matter of more people seeing the ad, I suppose.

Fireflies are pretty easy to mend, so it may well be that you'll get a buyer fairly easily.

	The other thing about listing orphaned/abandoned boats / bits on ebay is that it is transparent. If the 'owner' ever shows up wanting to know what became of their 'pride and joy', then it can be demonstrated that the method of disposal yeilded the best market value (less any expenses), and that their 'pride and joy' wasn't just gifted to someone for a drink (although sometimes that's all they are worth).

	Hi All We have a feva in our compound unpaid for, unused for two years which we are about to add to our training fleet. Having done all the normal stuff to try and find the owner. Crazy how some people just abandon things.

	Someone has just this morning tried to give me an old 420, but I turned it down. Old boats are often more work than they are worth. Yes I am going to the Steve Nicks Kev!

	Not often that anything as useful to a club as a Feva gets abandoned - as Winging it says, most often it is the crap stuff that would involve constant work.

	We had a pico which the board decided the club should inherit and not 'disposed' of.
