Trailer Sailor and Trailer for sale - open to offers
This trailer Sailor is for sale complete with trailer.
The trailer was built in 2014 by Hosking Trailers Ltd in Albany. The trailer has seen very little use over the last six years so is in excellent condition with only a light rust in a few places. One of the tires was replaced with a new one, and the brake pads were replaced in order to get the warrant of fitness, which is current at 5th January. From memory at the time the trailer cost in excess of $4,000.
The boat is in need of TLC. It was parked on the Manukau Harbour for the last six months and we were not able to go out to it due to COVID-19 restrictions. During this time someone broke into it, threw the hatch covers overboard and let rainwater get in. They had waded out to it and so took mud onboard, and as such the interior needs a thorough clean down.
The boat comes with aluminium mast and boom and a mainsail, and possibly a jib, but I'm not sure about the jib. The mast has all the staiths and ropes associated with it. The boat also comes with an anchor and chain on a rope.
If you are not into sailing, then the boat would make an excellent fishing boat if an outboard motor is fitted. It has an attached place on the rear for an outboard motor. If you do want it only for a fishing boat, we would welcome keeping the mast to use as a flag pole for the Scouts.
We are open to offers.
All money from the sale of the boat goes to Aotea Sea Scouts, we are hoping to get money to enable us to start replacing our aging kayaks, as these are more useful to the Scouts than the trailer sailor ever was.

Offers should be made in writing via email to Stephen.Lasham@gmail.com for consideration, or you can email the same email to request an inspection.
Latest scams to look out for 👀
Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:
NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
