In Gib for Winter. Need to sell boat and get job...

[DecaDance]

Local agent wants 8% to sell boat - is this normal ????

Any ideas for earning money would be appreciated (apart from selling my body - it might have been worth a couple of groats before a year living aboard but not now )

Thanks in advance

Gib?? Rain???

J, I hated Gib' what a dump, and I only had 3 days there.

Are you really planning on spending the winter there???

You'll end up, mad as a Flewitt........!

Check out Boatshed, as I bought mine through their Gib' mob, but the guy I dealt with has moved on, so I've no idea what his replacement's like.

Oh, one more point, I thought it rained in Wales???? well that was before I spent time in Gib'....you'll see.

Good luck kiddo.

8% + VAT is cheap. Normal rate for UK boat from UK broker selling abroad is 10% + VAT.

PM VO5; he will fix you up with a job at the RGYC.

We spent 18 months in Gib and really rather enjoyed it.

Rain ? That was last year and it is all your fault.
No rain yet.
In fact SWMBO abd I went for a swim at Little Bay, water temperature fine, weather very sunny, blue skies and the occasional little cumulus.
So please stay away and keep the rain at bay.

Actually I was there, just over 4 years ago......bet it's still raining....!

And I'll gladly stay away...mind you, Morrisons was ok though..

Lots of jobs advertised on Gib in the English speaking newspapers, SUR, Euroweekly, Costa Del Sol News to name but a few. Of course you could always ask around the bars and shops, depends on what type of work you can and want to do.

Worth having a word with John Alcantara who runs Boatshed Gibraltar - you'll find him very knowledgeable and helpful,

Make a little website for the boat and get it on TheYachtMarket.com in this internet age you're probably gonna be better than a broker at getting your boat there. Which boat is it by the way? It's not that lovely wooden cutter called Emma that just put up a for sale sign is it?

It's sunny today though

 

[Zanziba]

I've PM'd you

 

[DecaDance]

Thanks every one,

Cariadco, just spoke to Flewy - it's his 25th birthday today (he's obviously got senile dyslexia!). Had a bit of rain the other night, washed the salt off the boat nicely...

I get the impression Gib is a Marmite place, and we love it.

Boat to sell is a Dufour 485 Grand' Large. One year old, MCA coded and fully kitted out. It's John at the Boat Shed that has quoted 8%, but £20ish k to sell a boat just seems a bit much. Will investigate your option Tommy, we're not in a rush to sell.

Thanks for the PMs regarding jobs, will reply now

Always up for a sundowner anyone, just say where and when

20K does seem an awful lot to sell a boat, I mean you could just knock that off the asking price and sell it twice as fast. I think most people look online now when buying a boat, and the boatshed is certainly online based. I recently bought a boat and found most of them were also advertised on the yacht market, including the boatshed ones.

It will cost you nothing to make up a simple website with the boat info on it, and about 10 squids to get it online at the yacht market.

Let me know if you want any help making a boat website, I'm on the last pier where the marina bay office is about half way down on a westerly oceanquest called papauca.
