I’m tempted by the hovercraft. I could easily drive it from home to the boat. Sadly, I cannot get any enthusiasm from Mrs C.

You are, of course correct. That heap is basically a 26 with about 2' added to the stern to take the mizzen and a bowsprit out front. i would guess the measurement is from the tip of the bowsprit to the end of the mizzen boom. It has been for sale for some time starting at I think about £6k. Surprised somebody has offered £1k for it as the auction details now suggest.

It's a bit of a rag tag lot!!

Aha I see. I thought it was a bit weird!!! And yes I think free might be a better option. I wonder if they put those starting bids on to pretend someone has bid!!

Gone, it seems. Basically a 2 seat 25hp job. Skirt has had a Bucks Fizz type incident.

Maybe the £1k is payment from the owner to take it away. Would still be a bad deal unless you have a 1960s cement mixer or dump truck that needs an engine.

Phew. No need to make your mind up on that one.
