I have taken the sad decision to get rid of my sailing kit. I am not looking to sell but for a donation by one or more WYC members to New Brighton RNLI. Both dinghies have don good years of service and, I believe, remain serviceable after some repairs. The yellow one, a With/Bonwitco dinghy (Type 300 No. 798 – about 3.75m LOA), needs only the plywood plate for mounting an outboard and a bit of TLC to gelcoat and paint to taste. The white one (make unknown about 2.85m LOA) needs more – a project to refasten the timber parts (replacing the gunwhales and the bow knee for sure).
I also have a 10lb kedge anchor and a good 20 fathom towing line or anchor warp. Everything to be taken as seen.
