GBR 3884 "Flossie"

"Flossie" 3884, Ovington 10, fully race ready. Based at Hayling

“Flossie”, GBR 3884
An Ovington 10 (with newer deck), P&B fit-out.
For the last five years, Flossie has performed extremely well at various events, despite the mercurial behaviour of her owner. She was a tidal expert at at the European Championship in Cowes, finishing 11th; won an Inlands race at the gloriously fluky Grafham Water; and a regular performer within the Hayling fleet.
Flossie will be sold complete with Hayling road trailer and the following:
P&B main and jib - 2022/3, in excellent condition.
A second P&B main and jib for club/training.
Six spinnakers including a rarely used P&B from 2023; An older but excellent Goacher; Two Hydes, still good from 2021/2; and two older P&Bs, still usable.
Carbon single end-to-end spinnaker pole
Carbon tiller and carbon tiller extension
Winder rudder
Epsilon mast and Selden boom
Harken jib tracks - with lateral adjustment Mackay E-gate.
Harken everywhere - jammer, cleats, blocks
New bailers 
Cover and undercover
Also, Flossie is equipped with a Merlin Rocket-style carbon hoop which has proved really effective, providing an excellent upwind performance - low and high modes - also handy to grab a hold of in a hairy gybe.
I’m sad to see her go but a newer boat has been acquired. I can probably help with delivery if needed. Based at HISC for viewing.
£9,500
