I'm being pressurised by my wife to part with some of my small-boat related treasures (space required for grandchildrens junk/plastic tat!).
Trying to avoid posting as far as possible, as some awkward stuff. See below.
So, before I drag it all out, for photos etc and subject myself to bleddy EBay...
That in mind, some bigger items easily picked/dropped on way to/from Mylor raid in July? We could maybe meet on the A30 in mid Cornwall maybe (e.g. if you are towing) for cost of mileage? Regret, I'm not attending due to other events.
1. Symmetric (NOT asymmetric) spinnaker to suit BR/BRE, or similar.
Very good secondhand, ex Hornet dinghy (About 12/13 m2 I believe?) Spinni. North. Little used. VGC. Pink/white. Dry, crisp. Stuff sack. £125?
2. A self made (D25MM L APPX 1.7M) carbon fibre pole with Holt trigger beak ends. Used to get Bay Raider dead down wind (B Raider also had assym). Very light and stiff, so easily used. Has dyneema bridle fitted.
This SYMMETRIC setup is amazingingly useful on longer downwind coastal passages, "Open" raids/races or cans racing. As it is smaller than a BRE assim, use will not affect handicap. I had both on my BRe.
Proper weapon on windward-leeward courses. Can cruise single handed, but needs crew to race.
Pole also excellent for other sails. Can pole out jib. V light, v stiff.
Flown off std spinni halyard, I added a simple Holt "composite" double eye (appx £15) to the mast, very easily, to clip the carbon pole in to.
Sheeted back to blocks on aft cleats. Used assim sheets/blocks.
VERY effective, and surprisingly easy to use. Did so single handed, regularly, but crew a must-have to race/raid...£150?
3. Rocna anchor, 6kg. Little used. VGC. £140. Have now brought a bigger 10kg one for BC26 as am overnighting with family, but 6kg a perfect size for safe secure overnighting a BR. Fits side lockers, and easily handled. Galvanised. Also rated for a BC23.
4. Lewmar Delta anchor, 6kg, little used, VGC. Came with my bigger boat, and perhaps too small for BC26, imho... £60. Galvanised. Rated for a BC23.
5. HONWAVE 2M inflatable dinghy. 2 man. Oars. Solid transom, slatted floor type. Ideal For BR/e Fits in cabin or side lockers, and whilst still fully inflated it can be lifted into the BRe cockpit, and stored under the overall cover.
Brought specifically for this. Left on boat, on mooring in high summer. Good condition, a couple of small neat repairs. Has held air over-winter in my shed. Mostly used for accessing beaches etc from anchored boat where unable to beach the BRe (I have a hard tender for regular access to mooring)...£250?
6. Mk 2 VW Tiguan TOWBAR. (4×4 Diesel auto) car was 2018 I think? Whitter towbar (electrics not for sale here!) £100?
7. And MK 2 Tiguan Thule aero roof rack 2 bar set £100?
8. MK5 VW Golf Thule roof bars, as above £100?
Lots of miscellaneous small gear, ropes/warps etc... (more easily posted) which I will fully detail once marshalled.
Lots of VW Golf GTi bits too, but that's another forum!
Any interest?
Collection possible pretty much anytime from Fowey area.
