Going to this with a mate on Sunday. He is selling a load of sails, some never used. There are two or three, including a spinniker, from an Evolution 25/26 and most of the other sails fit similar sized boats. Look out for a Gold Land Rover Discovery.

Sailing School and Rigging will be at the Essex Boat Jumble, we will be selling some off cuts of rope, mainly 10mm but some of all sizes, we also have a couple of second spinnaker poles that cannot be sold as new and a rod kicker purchased for a boat but to big!
Happy also to give advice on rigging or quote from the stall for any rigging you may need.
With my sailing school hat on we can take booking for the coming year or discus which of our courses may suit you, from RYA levels one and two, to the Powerboat level two.
Or just pop by and say hello, forecast is cold but dry at the moment!

Although freezing cold we had a good day at the boat jumble, I think it was too cold for people to go to the boat so they came to the jumble instead. Even had two people enquiring about sailing lessons! If you have never been you should try it, lots of bargains! Next one is in Kent in two weeks time and we will be there. Hope its just a little warmer!

Freezing indeed. We got lost and arrived at about 13:00, got in half price as stall holders were packing up! One useful stall selling s/h blocks and the wife found a nice picture but not sure it was worth an hours drive. Should have got there earlier, b***dy sat nav!

lol. I agree. I went last year and we missed the turning and ended back on the dual carriageway where the next junction is about 10 miles away. There was road-works on the return section, so we ended up going from 10 secondS away to not arriving until over 40 minutes later!
