Is this the boat that was abandoned at Fareham some time ago?

If it is then it now looks like its at Trafalgars and has been offered for auction?

Anyone on the forum?

No idea, but there is no way I'd buy from him/them.

I hate that some people put so little effort into their adverts on eBay.

He/they are looking to sell this boat and make some money, surely the 5 minutes or so spent checking the advert, punctuating it, correcting the grammer would help enourmously towards the possibility of a sale. Some may say it's snobbery, but I believe a lack of care in this sort of thing suggests a lack of care in the product offered.

I understand that he/they may have dyslexia or other literacy problem, but when there are so many freely available spell-checking and proofing tools around it shouldn't be an excuse.



Sorry to thread divert, but it's early and I'm grumpy in the mornings! (As I have just been told by my wife!)

It does look as if it might not have been cared for...

Could be... The Police were called to it a few months back when they found a body in the boat!!! Been there quite a while so bit of a pong!

See what happens when you try and change the name ?

No sails, needs rerigging, had a stiff on board, sounds like he should be paying someone to take it away for disposal. Good luck for trying though! moral is Caveat emptor.

Reginaldon - the correct spelling of enourmously would help enormously

Reginaldon - my sincere apologies, I maligned you. The message was intended for clb1970.

What a bloomer!!?? I double checked as well!

Perhaps it's not merely grumpiness, but a touch of arrogance that you suffer from ?

Thanks, you just lowered my blood pressure a notch or two.

NB. I didn't get as far as "enourmously"

I'm pretty sure the boat at Fareham was a L17
