Sadly, I've got to sell her. I've been holding off on this as long as possible but an involuntary mid-life career change has left me short of funds and short of time for extra-curricular activities like sailing - or even participating in these forums like I used to. She's located in Fort Myers, FL on the IntraCoastal waterway. In the two years I've owned her, I took her into the Gulf of Mexico saltwater only twice. All the rest of my sailing her has been in the brackish-to-mostly fresh water of the Caloosahatchee River. You can reach me on my cell (239-935-9004) or my email: maddensteve@comcast.net

Is she perfect? No. But she's in darn good shape, structurally very sound and just needs an owner who has the time to do the few things that would make her look like new again. (I don't do teak!)
