Good sailing opportunity?

[concentrik]

While I'm sailing in Spain and Portugal this year my other boat, moored in a Dorset harbour, will be sadly under used. I don't want to sell her and I certainly don't want to lose the mooring (having waited ten years for it) so I was thinking of finding one or two people to use her while I'm away in exchange for a bit of guardiennage (sp?) and a paltry contribution to costs. Does anyone have experience of this kind of informal arrangement and where might I find interested individuals?

My insurance covers anyone sailing her with my permission but is it possible for a potential sharer to get their own insurance to cover them for using my boat?

She's an elderly but very tolerant MG 'Medusa', bilge keeler 23ft, inboard diesel.

I'm bumping this as I haven't found anyone who'd like to use her this year.... she's on eBay but I doubt she'll sell:

any takers?

Is there a local Sea Cadet / Sea Scout group who might want an extra sailing resource in exchange for looking after the boat while you are away? When I was involved with Sea Scouts a couple of years ago the regs were fairly stringent to get 'approval' to do estuary / coastal sailing so the leaders should know what they are doing.

Shame I dont have the experience to sail her. Only sailed dingies and have PBL2.
I could certainly have looked after her, just the sailing thats the problem.

I would be interested in something like this if you could make it work. I have sent a PM.
