Boats for sale

If you have been following the various posts, you will have noticed the SOA is short of boats to sell. Not surprising, given current demand and the fact Marcon do not build them anymore. So, on the off chance you are looking to sell, or know somebody who has a Sabre hidden in the corner of a boatyar...

Obviously it will need to come off for transportation - Cost? 3) Do you have a yard at the de...

Re: Intro/new member

From what I am hearing, it might be going the same way as Fliss. Survey by another buyer tomorrow. The price of the boats on the market is significantly less than most people would pay for a decent high mileage second hand car. For that kind of money, you might have to take a punt at some point, or ...

Re: Intro/new member

Good luck with Wrabness, I have been on the waiting list for 5 years!
