For Sale – Sandhopper 21, Sandpiper Now Sold
Now Sold Enforced sale, due to my arthritic deterioration.
Many of you know how I stand – not very well in fact! The arthritis in my feet and ankles has deteriorated to a point where it has, at last, got the better of me. There is not much that can be done for this problem. You cannot have a new foot the way you can have a new hip, so sadly I cannot sail anymore. It is impossible for me to maintain my boat as I can longer climb into her in the dinghy park, or get underneath to paint or walk out to her on the mud. Sorry to burden you with my ills, but that is why I have to sell “Sandpiper” quickly.
So, if someone would take by boat quickly for just £1,000, I would be pleased to let her go, but only for an immediate sale, and for her to be sailed at Thorpe Bay, and she has to be taken “as is.
“Sandpiper” is not in immaculate condition. It has been difficult to get done all that I should do. However she is fit to race for a while as she is. There is no osmosis and sails, rigging and fittings are OK. Last season she served us ideally without any trouble. At the beginning of the season we were still participating in fairly wild conditions with no problem, without anything needing immediate attention.
If you wish to have a look at “Sandpiper”, she is first on the right down the steps into the dinghy park.
