I gotta stay away from ebay - look at the lines on this boat!

I think the width of the shed I am building this summer just went from 12 to 15 feet

add $250 for "document handling fee..." Must be a title carved in stone and delivered by Moses.

Pretty ride! Love the hull/keel. Worth saving for sure although I saw some pretty ones for $3500 and up.

In the 1970's, a new McVay Minuet and trailer was for sale in my home town, and the same seller had a new McVay Bluenose for sale with trailer, and they had the prettiest lines of any boats I had ever seen until then, but I eventually bought my 1981 C25, and never regretted it, but the McVay boats could steal your heart. The Minuet was about 19' LOA and the Bluenose was about 23' LOA.

I believe the photo below was taken at the 2007 Bluenose National Regatta.


I like this photo.

Along the same line of thought... I don't need it, but I want it.

Any more sail and that thing will simply float up and drift away.

Was that really a full keeled boat on a single axle trailer? Is the keel just an illusion?

While researching the Minuet I came across the Roue 20 (a 30' daysailer) - now this has great lines!

Even more off topic . . . this was launched on our lake last fall. Be kind to the skipper - this is a maiden voyage after a 3 1/2 year restoration. Lake Arthur is also known for shifty winds.

2 thoughts come to mind John - A room with view, and no need for additional ventillation.

Oh, and don't grunt too loud.
