    Salut Eric!! merci pour la recommendation. I actually had some luck with a member who had checked her out in the past. 


    Asim, it's actually another junk rig boat, "china girl" which is an Atlanta 28. I found info from previous owners around the forums here, but it seems like she's been in a lot of ups and downs over the years so curious to see the state she's in...


    cheers!

    Hi Will, if the junk rigged boat you are interested in is called Sweet Sarah that is at Wells next the sea, then, I am sure it is a New bridge venturer boat. The owner has a you tube channel called Sailing with Ted. I think he has his boat up for sale, as he has switched to a camper van. It might be useful to you to watch some episodes ( if it is the same boat ) before you do anything else. Best regards, Oz.

    Bonjour Will

    Welcome on board !

    Manny of the JRA embers are not using the website frequently, to say the least.

    I would suggest that you contact individually the JRA members in the area. 

    You could find there email on the members list (members area - directories - embership list). 

    Eric

    Hey all!

    New member here -- nice to meet you all :-)  I've been a cruiser for a while around my home grounds of canada, and the more time ive spent time on a Bahamian rig the more im realizing the junk rig fits more my view of cruising.

    I've been looking at junks and of course, none are around my area, add to that that im in Antarctica for work for another few weeks at least and well.. it complicates the thing.

    So im wondering if there's anyone in the Uk close by Norfolk who could go have a look at a junk rig that's for sell in Wells-next-the sea perchance? I would fly out myself but if possible would love a first pair of eyes before I get on a plane.


    cheers :-)
