Selling Dockrell 17 "This Way Up" Sail No 168
Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2025 9:34 pm
I've had great fun using my Dockrell to take friends and family out, and to teach the Sea Scouts how to sail, but the Scouts have bought a dinghy of their own (not as good, but a lot cheaper) and my Son has just got a boat of his own - I won't need it next year.
We have had some great times, and she's so easy to handle and confidence building. Yesterday I had a 9 year old at the helm and pretty much in control with a bit of reminding to look where she was going, whilst her 5 year old brother was taking it all in. We have anchored in the sunshine and dived in for a swims, been fishing, watched fulmar nesting on the cliffs, been out in lumpy sea (1m), out in F7 ish with two reefs in, sailed in the rain...marvellous!...but it's time to say goodbye and let someone else enjoy her.
She's currently on a mooring at West Bay Harbour, Dorset, ready to sail.
Advertised on Apollo Duck, but call me on 07775439657 if interested.
