Selling your boat

For a small charge, you can advertise your Sonata on our website and on the Association’s boats-for-sale list which is maintained by Steve Tribe. Ring Steve on 01621–782193 or email to boats for sale. Steve will then add your name to his list and arrange for advertising on the web site.


After your boat is sold

Please let Steve know when you have sold your boat or if you change your mind and withdraw it, so we can keep the list up to date. We like to keep track of Sonatas and make sure that new owners are aware of the Association, so we would be grateful if you would pass contact details for the new owners to the membership secretary.


Check with the seller
