For sale: Volvo Sailing... Have a Go! trailer

Issue date

Yachting New Zealand have one of the trailers used for the Volvo Sailing... Have a Go! programme for sale, and comes fully equipped with a variety of yachts, a RIB, wetsuits and lifejackets.

The trailer was one of the three owned by Yachting New Zealand that travelled around the country providing sailing experiences for school-age children as part of the Volvo Sailing... Have a Go! programme.

It would be ideal for a yacht club or sailing provider looking to bolster their equipment for learn to sail programmes and it also has the benefit of already being mobile and self-contained.

"We would love it to go to a club keen to be involved in delivering RUNA sailing experiences, which will be a great way for them to increase their reach into their community," Yachting New Zealand chief executive David Abercrombie said.

The trailer was built in 2017 and comes with an array of equipment. The asking price is $45,000.
