The "Swap, Sell or Buy" is an excellent way for people to advertise their boats for sale.  Not only is it free, but the forum is accessible to the general public, so anyone searching for a junk-rigged boat is likely to look at it.  Certainly, many of the boats posted here have been sold.

If you are posting a boat and are serious about selling it, I strongly recommend including the price.  A link to good photographs is also worth while.  If your boat is already with a broker, you might feel more comfortable downloading all the photos to your profile, rather than using a link to the broker.

It's also worth keeping your posting 'live' on the Recent Posts on the Fora: a lot of people only go there rather than browsing all the fora.  All you need to do is post again on your thread and the topic will return to the top. 

Maybe we should make something of a feature of this topic, on the non-members' Home Page, as a service to our membership.  (Because I'm logged in at the moment, I can't check what's on it at present!).

Annie,

Sounds good, helping to promote listing junks for sale on the website here, and keeping that open to the public. So the person who wants to list a boat would just have to join, so they can post, right? Small price, for such wide exposure!

Georg,

Perhaps we could use the public junk rig Facebook page (here) to link to the boats for sale forum already at the JRA. That public page is visible to people who are not signed up on Facebook. If we put the announcement and link at the head of the Facebook page – and in the closed Facebook group (found here) – everybody should have help with finding their way to the JRA list, without having to do extra work to post multiple listings. (These notices have now been included on both Facebook pages.)

If I am permitted a sideways step, Robin was also the curator of the JRA library. What has become of this resource? Is it still accessible?

Thanks Jonathan. I'm in foreign waters with sporadic internet access, so hope my lack of attention to such matters is pardonable. I await further developments with interest.

Regards, Asmat
