OK, I can accept that these old boats should go but they are also ditching all the ancillary bits and bobs such as roller furlings, winches, blocks and shackles as they say, no one wants them.
They didn't ask me! I now have a selection of blocks and shackles :)
 
Down the road at Rochefort, a couple of enterprising employees of the marina have a sideline. They take over abandoned boats and park them in a corner of the hard standing, strip all the bits and flog them out of an Aladin's cave/shed.
Some of the boats would be good value for a keen DIY would be sailer, but I hear that one has to settle the storage fees as well as buying them, which in some of the cases makes the boats very expensive.
