I have left a couple of vices (drinking and smoking? ha!) on the bench in boatyard for anyone to use. They came from my college. There are quite a lot more if anyone wants one let me know.

I have for sale Hurricane 455 SX. The boat is immaculate being very well cared for. It comes with two SX jibs two SX spinnakers a Pin top mainsail and a two sail jib. Lightweight mast, big wheeled trolley, Cover and stern supports. The boat must be seen.

I am looking for a quick sale at £ 3750.

Thanks for looking
