  Listed

  A worked example so the shape of a listing is visible. Delete it once there is a real boat to advertise. Her sail number matches a boat in the register, so the listing links through to her family tree — that happens automatically whenever the numbers match.

  Everything above the --- is a labelled box in the editing screen: sail number and contact are required, price can be left blank if you would rather invite offers, and sold: true keeps the advert up with a SOLD mark on it rather than losing the record.

  Add as many photographs as the seller has — the first one heads the advert and the rest sit under it. Files go in src/assets/uploads/, and every one needs a line of alt text.

  Down here you describe the boat — how she has been kept, what has been replaced, what goes with her.

ABs are wooden boats that get sailed hard by children, so most of them need someone at some point — a rigging check before the season, a repair after a hard beat, rope and fittings when the old ones give up. Two places near the club that fleet families use.

• Chandlery

  Parkstone Chandlery

  Rope, fittings and the small parts a boat eats through — sheets, shackles, shockcord. Near the club, which matters when you need something on a Saturday morning.

Listed because fleet families use them, not through any arrangement — the class takes nothing from either and neither has asked to be here. If you know somewhere else that does good work on an AB,say so.
