Far East OPTIMIST 4431, year 2009, in great condition, FOR SALE
Our kids have moved to other sailing classes, so we sell our Far East OPTIMIST 4431, year 2009, in great condition.
Boat, sail and all parts have been nicely cleaned after each session, well looked after and always stored under cover in a garage.
Details:
- This boat/sail combination was used by us and one former owner at Wakatere Club and won many races and was successful at other competitions.
- Sail # NZL4431. Far East Optimist, has had decent use, but still in very sound, good condition with a few scratches/nicks consistent with use at training/racing regattas etc.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
