For Sale 814

814 "Viva la Vida"

Minimum weight, long cockpit boat from Mr Skinner. Completely refurbished in 2010 and kept in a garage when not sailed. Nicely varnished topsides and cream lower chines (looks really lovely). Watertight and totally sound. Needlespar mast, P&B + Alpha sails (loose foot). Excellent aero section foils (normal pivoting rudder); and Skinner trolley (fits standard laser road base).

I raced her once in 2010 at Fowey and managed to edge the Fowey salty trophy series by squeaking ahead of Roger, Mark and Graham in their smart new boats. With an updated sail and proper lowers, this boat will be highly competitive. I have purposely kept the control lines simple (I can't shrug off laser habits), so plenty of scope for personalising to your preferences.

Sadly, work comittments will continue to keep me away from the open circuit. She is in excellent condition and has given me a lot of pleasure (both as a project and on the water).

£875. Can be viewed in Kent (30 mins from M25), or possibly Farnham Royal (near Slough). Anyone interested, please reply to this post and I'll PM you with contact details.

Dear Roger,
Thank you for your kind words. I really enjoyed my brief return to moths and had a lot of fun sailing 814.
Thank you also for your kind offer; I do hope to sail with you again soon.
Congratulations on your success at the Nationals - from your boatspeed, tactics and boat handling at Fowey, it was clear you meant business in 2010! I recall being very fortunate in the flukey breeze of that last race (but hey, that's Fowey!).
Good luck this year.
Kind regards
Martin
