A Thank-You Note From a Free-Classified Advertiser, Plus …

Alexis emailed us needing help with her classified ad. She added, “I had posted for my father and father-in-law’s lovely sailing books. I’m happy to say that because of your ad, I was able to give them away to some wonderful people. Now that I’ve given them away, I should remove the post because I keep getting inquiries. So it just tells you you have a wonderful audience for your classified.” If you have items to give away or that are under $1,000, you can post them here for free. It will help you clear out your garage or bookshelves.

If you have a very cool boat like the Formula 40 catamaran Shadow for sale, you can post it in our “boats for sale” section. Shadow was just posted with an asking price of $32,000. New boats, gear, and job opportunities pop up in our classified section frequently. Because we’re a California sailing magazine, they are just the kind of thing California sailors are looking for. For another shot of Shadow in action in the 2010 Farallones Race, click here.

The books are gone, but there is a Gill timer, Lewmar and Barient winches, an Atomic 4, a Shipmate marine stove and a few other items in the “gear” section.
