Description: |
Have owned and sailed this boat for ten years - a small but very stable, well-balanced boat. It has a small cabin, but have slept over in it on occasion. A good boat for someone wanting a first boat large enough to accommodate several adults or children; good fun family boat, but simple enough for very easy handling and learning, simple rig. It's very forgiving. These boats were designed by Martin Bludworth for sailing in Gulf of Mexico. Swing keel allows beaching, easy trailering. Trailer is older but solid and serviceable. Mast requires two for raising (or a hoist) but trailer winch makes stepping the mast simple and quick. Very easy to launch, and to rig. Have not raced this boat, but it is very quick even with 90 jib and no spinnaker. Was docked and sailed throughout summer and fall 2013 in Colorado's most challenging and popular high-mountain sailing lake. Will consider any reasonable offer. Am purchasing a slightly larger boat for racing. |
