East coast yacht clubs

[sailaboutvic]

Hi guys
Im wonder if tho of you who are member of an east coast club suffolk/ Norfolk/Essex that have noticed board would do me a farvor and put a notes on it for me .
I have a spinnaker pole that I like to sell as I’m not using it ,
i stuck a ad in the wanted on YBW and altho I got a few people interested in it the problem always was how they could get it to there boats the other part of the UK also I hope that a local person who maybe interested would be easier to get it transported or even meet then half way .
if anyone feel it’s not going to put them out PM me and I will give you detail what you can put on a card on the club notice board .
its a real shame to let this pole sit there doing nothing when there someone who could make good use of it considering what the cost new .
thanks all

Or put it on ebay, you should be able to sell it - collection only.

You could also try "Yachts and Yachty bits for sale" on Facebook. Maybe Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree as suyers search by distance quite often.

I don't seem to be able to send a PM. So thought I'd try posting a reply.

I am located in Essex and in need of a spinnaker pole for a 29 foot boat, not sure if yours is suitable.
What are the details? ie, size, price and location for collection etc.

Hi Grumpy
its 4.2 mts long accounting to Sparcraft there 5.6 mts pole weight 4.5 kg so a guess it weight around 3 kg or there about .
the pole is in Ipswich .
is in very good condition the guy who had the boat before never used it and we not used it .
there no real wear .
both piston are free and no play .
there over £750 new , I be happy for £250 .
its in Ipswich .
if your interested let me know and I PM you if you still can’t PM me .

Grumpy, I think you have to post a minimum number of messages before you can PM. Not sure how many.

Hi Sailaboutvic

Thanks for your reply.
I think your pole may be a bit too long for my boat. My J measurement is around 3.4m. However, presuming the pole isn't tapered and the jaws are riveted on or something similar. It should be possible to remove one set of jaws, shorten the pole, then rivet the jaws in their new position.

If you think the pole looks suitable for modification? I am still interested.

FYI still cant send PMs

That makes sense. Think this is only my 2nd post and the 1st one was many years ago, so may not even count.

I've PM you hopefully you will get it .
Basically the pole can be cut to size,the ends are rivet on and the pole isn't taped so the end can be place anywhere alone the pole .
