Huge Gear Sale and Auction - June 24th

For those of you not aware of it, Orange Coast College School of Sailing and Seamanship has a huge annual Gear Sale and Boat Auction, in June. This year's event will be held on June 24th, at their maintenance facility at the college (NOT at the Sailing Center in Newport). The address and info is below.

Donated items both new and used can be found, along with tons of stuff that have been removed from boats donated to the school - everything from EPIRB's and emergency strobes to fenders, sextants, radios, lifejackets, sails, sewing machines, flares - you name it. The prices are nothing short of amazing.

The gear sale starts at 08:00, but I would recommend showing up by 07:15 or so, as there is a huge crowd that pretty much imitates the Oklahoma Land Rush when they unlock the gates. You want to be in the front when the tide turns, let me tell you...

After the gear sale is the Boat Auction, for dinghies, a few power boats, and some sailing dinghys and sailboats on trailers. Some larger items, like satellite communication systems and radar arrays are also sold at the auction. Last time there were two brand new Walker Bay's hard dinghy/inflatable combos that were a great deal. Who knows what you'll find - but it's worth a drive to Costa Mesa.

Here is the link to the school site:

Remember, the event is at OC College's maintenance center in Costa Mesa, not the sailing center in Newport!

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the heads up. I probably don't need any of that stuff, but I am sure I want it. I will try to go. See you there I hope.

Just a reminder, that's the same day as our Cabrillo Marina's Customer appreciation day BBQ. I went last year and it was a pretty good time. Free food and freebees and lots of raffles with good stuff. Starts at noon, goes to 3 pm.:clap:

Gear Sale and Auction

I'm going to the Isthmus that weekend - oh darn - so unfortunately I will miss both of them. I do recommend going, as you can find all kinds of stuff for your boat, really, really cheap.
