Emigrating.
Do not need to take wooden Mirror Dinghy.
Have a sail bag with sails, road trolley (one tyre flat) and launch trolley, good cover.
Not sure if all the rigging is there - may be the odd bit missing.
Anyone interested?

One of these days, I must do the pay-forward, and sponsor someone for a trip.
