Brilliant Bargains At Gunfleet

Gunfleet Sailing Club was absolutely buzzing last Saturday 18 February when it held its annual Sailing Gear Sale.  The star attraction was definitely Derroll with his Nucleus stand offering absolutely unmissable bargains.  There were loads of great deals on life-jackets, buoyancy aids, wet-suits (full, shorties, tops and bottoms), dry-suits, wet-shoes, wet-boots, oversuits......it just went on.  Then there was the £5 rail with many of the above items priced to clear.  Even more exciting to the boat owners were the bargain boxes full of rope, elastic cord and other really useful bits and bobs.  All these items were £5, and where else could you get 20 metres of brand new dyneema 3mm rope for just £5 (this should have retailed at £50).

And just to make the whole evening even more enjoyable there were free nibbles - sausage rolls, crisps and iced donuts, plus the bar was in full swing.

It was good to welcome members of both Clacton on Sea Sailing Club and Walton & Frinton Yacht Club to the evening and everyone agreed that it had been a really good social event as well as the place to pick-up some first class bargains.
