So that is what the DX rig looks like.

...you buy a very small run boat like that & you shouldn't expect to sell it easily, but fact that he's in Fife I rather suspect has a greater bearing on the lack of interest.

Afterall I wouldn't travel that far so I'm pretty sure nobody south of here would.

PS I drove from Stevenage to Inverness and back to buy a Sprint 15 (#1818)
PPS I just post these to make the point of the benefits of buying into an establised one design class with an active circuit and class association. It is these benefits that keep the value up of secondhand Sprint 15s (even 30 year old Sprint 15s sell for more than 3 times the amount that these much more recent niche products fail to sell at (about £300) :D :D

He is having a torrid time trying to sell this imitation Sprint 15.
Last time he tried it got a bid of £303 but failed to meet the reserve.
This time he lowered the reserve to £325 but only got a bid of of £205.

I just include these posts to show how much better it is to own a Sprint 15 :D :D :D
