Boatshed Hayling Island UK opens

We'd like to introduce Ross Farncombe who is running Boatshed Hayling Island on the south coast of the UK inbetween Chichester and Portsmouth.

Hello, and welcome to Boatshed Hayling Island. The time is right for a Boatshed International Yacht brokerage to be established here, especially to deal with the needs of boat owners on Hayling Island and its environs. It is my privilege to have this brokerage to operate under the Boatshed Hayling Island banner and to introduce you, the local boating community to the worldwide Boatshed brokerage network. We have over 70 offices worldwide and have in excess of 260,000 registered users, a number that is growing daily.

Now local boaters looking to buy a boat can visit http://www.BoatshedHaylingIsland.com/ web site and access the company’s unique online database for accurate, up-to-date information on thousands of boats of all types. Boatshed is unique in that every boat offered for sale is viewed, photographed and evaluated in person by knowledgeable staff. This information, together with up to 70 digital photographs fro every boats for sale, is available to all on the website, so that clients can make a well- informed decision on whether to travel to see a boat that has caught their interest. There’s a huge variety of boats online as Boatshed has over 70 locations world-wide, in Europe, Asia and America.

My background is film and television sound but I have been sailing for over 35 years and most of it has been from around Chichester harbour and Hayling Island. I started back in the black and white days on friends’ parents’ Westerly Centaur out on the east coast then to a Westerly Renown in the then brand new Brighton marina.
I met my wife on a sailing weekend in Chichester Harbour a very long time ago and the rest, as they say, is history.
I took part in the 1985 “Fastnet” race as part of a BBC1 series “in at the Deep End” with Chris Searle. In 2003 I sailed “Firefly”, as owned by Yachting Worlds’ editor Andrew Bray across the Atlantic from Antigua to Horta. By total contrast in 2006 I was in Rendsburg in Northern Germany installing Audio Visual systems on a 78meter Super yacht. I am also lucky enough to write regular reviews of yacht charter holidays for “Sailing Today” magazine. An RYA Yachtmaster I am never far from the sea.
All of these experiences have been enjoyable but only now, through the Boatshed International brokerage network am I able to spend my entire life working with boats. It certainly makes it worthwhile getting up in the morning.
So, if you have a boat to sell, or are looking to buy and just want to chat about the possibilities then you are bound to see me in my distinctive Boatshed jacket somewhere around the island, in one of the yards or marinas. Do stop me for a chat. I might even stand you a coffee. I am here to help you as much as I can. Don’t forget that Boatshed.com operates on an entirely, ”No sale, no fee” basis, so what have you got to lose?
