Boat items for sale
Caroline Howe has made a start on working through the boat bits Nigel assembled over a lifetime of sailing.
The pricing of those items has changed recently. Instead of "make me an offer", unless otherwise specified, it is now "if an item is useful to you, please donate something direct to the RNL according to what the item is worth to you". No need to say how much - just donate according to how useful an item ends up being for you. This is because Caroline would prefer to see items re-used at SYC is possible but anything that doesn't go soon will end up on Apollo Dock.
Unless specified otherwise, all items are in "well used" condition - as you might expect!
If you want to have a better look at any of the items let Caroline know and that can be arranged (and clicking any photo will show a full resolution version of the photo).
If you are interested in any of the items or want any more details, email Caroline using the contact form at the end of this page.

Dart 18
The following Dart 18 items are not for sale at the "donate something to the RNLI" pricing. If interested in any of the following items, please get in touch with Caroline to view them and discuss a price.
| Item | Description | Photos |
|---|---|---|
| Dart 18 mainsail | In almost new condition, this Dart 18 mainsail looks as though it has hardly been used. I can only presume that Nigel only liked sails with green and purple colour bands! |
|
| Dart 18 jib | In reasonable condition, this Dart 18 jib is not the companion for the above Dart 18 mainsail (which is in much better condition). Still sailable but perhaps more for cruising that racing. |
|
| Dart 18 hull covers | Two red Dart 18 hull covers |
