	Pre-Owned Boats
	Due to popular request we now offer this page for those who want to buy and sell their multihull. This web site is seen by thousands of people every month who are specifically interested in sailing catamarans, so it makes sense to advertise here and reach serious potential buyers. A quote from someone who listed their boat with me: "He paid the price I was asking which I'm pleased about. I only had the boat advertised on your site and was getting an average of about one email a week. I orginally thought it could take 2years to sell, what with the economic climate and all. Also it is an unusual boat but it does attract a lot of attention." The cost to advertise your Woods Design is £50 (or approx $75) and the advert will run until sold. Or the cost is £75 ($100) if it is a non Woods Design boat. Boats wanted and gear for sale/wanted adverts can be put on my Forum pages. To advertise on this list please email us with full details of your boat, including up to 4 photos. To pay for the advert please use the Order Form, tick/check the Consultancy Box and in the Comments page say it is for an advert. Please note, you should send advert as plain text and photos as small separate jpegs. Doc and rtf files will not be accepted as they take too long to reformat. Thankyou.

From 2007-2008 she was sailed from the UK to Eastern Australia.

SOLD from this advert!!! Wizard "Lavendel Expressen", The original Woods Designs built/owned Wizard "I have had Wizard for 10 years. Although she was originally built for racing, I bought her for her stability and for being easy to handle singlehanded as my partner is too physically disabled to stand the movements of a monohull or to help out with the sailing.Wizard kept her promises and was a really good choice for us. We also have been sailing with a lot of children and find Wizard roomy, safe and pleasant to sail in all ways. I am regrettfully selling because I too now at 65 am developing health problems. Extra equipment includes a 6 year old Mainsail, a 5 year old selftacking and furling foresail and a almost un-used spinnaker. Engine is a 7 year old Suzuki 6.5 only used to get in and out of harbours. To know more about Wizard, you can also order STUDYPLANS from this site.

There are two GPS one built in and working with the digital VHF. The other hand held GPS has fittings on the cabin so that it can be moved to whichever side the helmsman is sitting.
