Far East OPTIMIST 4431, year 2009, in great condition, FOR SALE
Our kids have moved to other sailing classes, so we sell our Far East OPTIMIST 4431, year 2009, in great condition.
Boat, sail and all parts have been nicely cleaned after each session, well looked after and always stored under cover in a garage.
Details:
- This boat/sail combination was used by us and one former owner at Wakatere Club and won many races and was successful at other competitions.
- Sail # NZL4431. Far East Optimist, has had decent use, but still in very sound, good condition with a few scratches/nicks consistent with use at training/racing regattas etc.
- Yellow foils in good condition
- Black/Gold spars also in good condition
- All lines/ropes replaced as necessary etc
- Comes with hull, spars, foils, beach trolley, measurement book/papers and everything shown in photos
- Fibreglass rudder/tiller
- Fibreglass centre board
- Comes with full complimentary rigging/tuning session, if desired!
- Inspection most welcome (and almost prefer it so people know what they’ve getting).
- Price $1,100 or nearest offer. Compare with current boats on trade me. I think this is a very fair price for the boat which I’m happy to sell it to a young passionate sailor.
- Photos attached and more available to interested parties
Ready to practice, learn to sail, race, and have a lot of fun on the water. This is ideal for the start of sailing season, or for Christmas.
Check and see us, sailboat is stored in Auckland-Devonport.
