Yes please. I will PM you.

I am having a bit of a clearout around my boat trailer so this dinghy has to go. It is approximately 8ft long, fairly wide and a lowish freeboard. It is a bit tatty but is servicable and could do with a clean up over the winter. The oars are included. £75. ONO Collection only from Benfleet

Thank you for the replies so far, there is some food for thought there. I must admit, I had forgotten about Cardiff, but I do like the sounds of sailing off the west coast. A bit different to the Thames Estuary.

Deben Yacht Club was very friendly and accommodating when we joined but we left a few years ago, so not sure about now. Would agree with the comments about day sailing or in some cases motoring. It is a very pretty river but the channel is narrow as we used to find when tacking up wind.

Hi Dave, I have sent you a PM Regards Steve

I have to agree with PaulRainbow. I have just applied for a new licence for my new to me boat and it took about 10 minutes online.

I have downsized my yacht so do not have room to store my inflatable. I believe it is a Avon Redseal (10ft 3in) long. It is old and used but holds air well. It comes with a homemade engine bracket, wooden thwart, inflatable seat, pump, original floorboards, and collapsible oars. Can be...
