Many Thanks" David Allen - October 2007 "We sold our boat via this website within 6 weeks of advertising" - October 2007 "We have had a great response to the ad for our Westerly Storm placed
last Friday and had our first offer on the Saturday morning! We have now
accepted an offer so I would be grateful if you would remove the ad." "Please remove the Boats for Sale advertisement as detailed below
from your website as Willow is now sold. This is by far the most effective
way ever of selling a Westerly. Although I also put it with a broker who
apparently did introduce lots of people, I had a great response direct
from your website and even though they were not existing Westerly owners,
they knew what they were looking for and I could have sold her 5 times
over. Thanks once again for a great service." "...our Westerly Storm has now been sold through …the website.
We had four genuine enquiries with the first couple who viewed the boat
deciding to purchase." "... please cancel all the adverts off the web site as out of the
blue in the last 4 days, we have sold Watershed to some people ....who
sold their Griffon through your web site last autumn!" "Thanks to your web site I have now sold Christina. Please remove
the ad with immediate effect, Many thanks" "Please remove the ad for the sale of our Pageant. We had a reply
within two days of it appearing on your website which has resulted in
the sale being completed. Many thanks for all you help." "We have now successfully sold our Centaur through your web site
and you can take it off the list. We certainly had lots of enquiries through
WOA, unlike the ads in the sailing magazines." "I would like to thank you for the service you have given me. I
have this day sold my Seahawk which was advertised almost exclusively
on your web page. No broker was involved and I am pleased with the price
I obtained. Over 16 years, annual depreciation averaged just 1%!" "I have sold my Westerly Regatta 370 1994. Many thanks for the excellent
service." "My Konsort Lady-C is now sold subject to survey. Your ad was by
far the most fruitful and the cheapest, So thank you WOA!" "I am pleased to report that Rako, my Tempest has been sold. The
interest from the site has been great, at least 12 serious enquiries.
I did not need to advertise anywhere else." "The site generated quite a few enquiries and the first person to
see her has now bought her. We are very grateful and pleased to have avoided
using a broker." "Please remove my ad as below from the WOA site. ...was sold within
days after the ad appeared. An excellent result. Many thanks!" "We have just completed the sale of our Fulmar through your site.

via this address. Thank you for your assistance." "Thank you for your effective sales service - my Centaur 'Dolly'
was noticed in your web site and was sold almost immediately - a pity
I don't have a couple of dozen to dispose of, it would be "a nice
little earner!" "Please remove this advert as this boat has been sold as a result
of this advert." "We have sold our boat within 2 weeks of the ad being placed!! Many
thanks." "Two Hoots being purchased within a week of the advert. What a wonderful
service..." "I am delighted to say that I found a buyer (for my Fulmar) within
3 days of the ad. starting." "Response to the advert has been truly phenomenal! ...appeared on
the WOA Website on the Friday. Over the following weekend, I received
about ten telephone calls, and the first person that saw Calviere Two
on the Tuesday made an acceptable offer. I now have a list of three interested
people who want me to phone if the deal falls through. I always knew that
Westerly Griffons are popular boats, but I didn't know that there is a
waiting list." "I am pleased to tell you that the advertisement on the Westerly
Owners' website has worked and that the boat (Konsort) has now been sold." "Please remove add for spinnaker and pole. Pleased with result" "I am pleased to advise my Centaur has now been sold" "Excellent result - goods sold so could you please remove my ad." "Sold my Westerly Typhoon 10 days after my ad appeared on the WOA

and informative Web Site which must be the envy of other Sailing Associations,
it's certainly effective in selling boats." "I placed my Westerly Pageant for sale on the WOA site on 18/2/05
and sold it to someone who responded on the same day. Couldn't really
ask for more than that." "My Westerly has been sold. I had several serious enquiries via
your web site, the first response resulting in a sale, what can I say
- and it's a free service to Westerly owners!" "Please delete the ad from the web site as the boat is now sold
- many thanks, boat advertised and sold within 10 days." "I sold her (my Centaur) as a direct enquiry from the advert on
WOA. I am still getting calls about her, and people are disappointed she
is sold!! So the WOA craft for sale site works well!" "...I have sold my boat today to the first viewer, and its' only
been on your website 17 days! Thank you very much. I have passed on details
of WOA to the new owner. Many thanks once again" "Please remove my Craft for Sale ad for my Westerly Merlin ...as
she is now sold. The web-site was very effective and I received many enquiries." "Can you please remove this advert as the yacht was sold yesterday.
Many thanks for the service. I had about half a dozen enquiries from the
site." "Thank you to the WOA for hosting adverts for members boats. This
helped us locate a very good and well cared for Griffon in our locality
quickly and within 2 days of commencing our search the deal had been done." "Thank you for an effective advertisement. Very reasonable price
to advertise - good number of enquiries generated. Boat sold." "Our Griffin ...has now been sold. It was sold the first weekend
it came onto the market. We have had an amazing response and thank you

have only been on the web about a week!!!!!" "Could you please delete my Fulmar from your boats for sale list.

the web site within 15 days. (Is that a record?)" "Please can you remove the advertisements for both my Westerly Pageant
and for my boat trailer, both of which were sold quickly and effortlessly
as a result of being listed on your site. In fact the only minor problem
I have had is that the phone hasn't stopped ringing! I wish all sales
processes were this effective!" "...please remove sale notice for, Pageant Bilge Keel 1972. It was
sold from your site." "Please remove my add for a Corsair ...as I have now found one.

the 30-6-04." "I am both pleased but a bit sad to say my above boat was sold to
the first person who called within a few days of the advert appearing
....! Many thanks for your help - no other advertising came close." "Please remove my advert on the Westerly Centaur "Torcello"

sold shortly after the ad appeared" "My Westerly Centaur ...has just been sold. The purchaser responded
to the website advert within about ten days of it being posted on the
WOA website. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome and the many responses
generated by the advert. I doubt if a professional broker could have achieved
such a quick and satisfactory sale and the commission saved is, of course,
very substantial. I have made it a condition of sale that the new owners
join WOA forthwith! Thank you very much indeed." We sold our Fulmar through the WOA site, we had about 14 enquires via
the site and about 6 through an advertisement in yachting monthly. I am
still receiving about 1 enquiry a day." "I am pleased to report that we have now sold 'Gus', our Discus.
You might like to know that 9 out of 10 enquiries came as a result of
her appearance on the WOA web." "Please remove the advertisement for my Griffon as fortunately she
has been sold. This was by far and away the most effective advert for
my boat. WOA (£0) 7 (enquiries), PBO (£70) 2! "We sold our Fulmar through the WOA site, we had about 14 enquires
via the site and about 6 through an advertisement in yachting monthly.

had eleven enquirers - the first buying the boat." "Please remove my advert for the sale of the Typhoon. I received
a very good response and I consider the cost of £25 to be a bargain." "Would you be so kind as to remove the add for my radar reflector,
I could have sold it six times over!" "Many thanks for the use of the web site. I had an overwhelming
response to the ad and my Konsort has now been sold." "We sold our Pageant through the WOA site, we had a much better

website proved a thousand times better than the brokers!" "I have been advertising my Centaur on the WOA website and am pleased
to say she has now sold, remarkably within 7 days of the ad appearing
on the site." "Wow - the power of the Internet! It took just 17 days from (our
ad) appearing on the web to the exchange of keys for our Westerly Vulcan.
Never thought it could happen so fast.....We will certainly recommend
your site. Once again - Thank you." "Please delete my advert "dismantled MD11C" under "Equipment

was incredible!" "Thanks for the add on WOA website, Demingo was under offer in 4
