Bristol Channel Yacht Storage and Brokers

[Adam320]

Hi Folks,
I have a 31' fin keel Westerly Tempest which I was living on in Dublin. She is still in Dublin but I am in Cheltenham now and have a new job mostly based in Antarctica, so I'm looking to sell her. Not much of a yacht market in Ireland at the moment, so can anyone recommend a good spot to store and advertise her reasonably far up the Bristol Channel, not too expensive and within striking distance of Cheltenham?
Many thanks,
Adam

You could try Portishead Quays Marina for storage. Boatshed has an office at the marina.

Yep, Portishead, or Cardiff would be my initial thoughts.

I've met the Boatshed Bristol guy, seemed a decent bloke. Alternatively (if the issue of who'd conduct the viewings could be resolved) you could make a website to sell the boat & link to it from lots of different places - Apollo Duck, Boats & Outboards, ebay classified ad, Gumtree, etc. thereby not limiting yourself to one advertising platform. It's as good a way as any to sell good examples of smaller/older boats in my experience. See the link in my signature that describes the process & has info & links to help you to DIY. Or I can do you a website for a very reasonable cost. Good luck with the sale...
