Oh, this breaks my heart. Just a few short months ago I bought a beautiful
15 from Bill Zeitler on this list. We sailed it just once, and almost
every sailer on the lake found an excuse to drift by and start up a
conversation. It was a hot July day with almost no wind and the old girl
just moved along beautifully with a soft chuckle at the bow. <sigh>.
The problem was that four of us: self, wife, and two kids, were a tight
squeeze. Once the kids wore out the novelty of the cuddy, things got a bit
cramped around the tiller. And then we discovered (surprise!) we will be
having twins in the spring. Oh my.
So, after a few half hearted attempts to interest friends in the boat I'm
going to have to offer her for sale for real.
The particulars: 1993, yellow and white sail, roller furling genoa,
outboard bracket but no motor, bow pulpit, life jackets, anchor and line,
bumpers, head, home-made (by Bill Z.) bimini, trailer, plus some other
stuff I've probably forgotten. Located in suburban Philadelphia.
I paid either $4,200 or $4,300 in June (I'm at work and honestly can't
remember) and bought about $300 worth of stuff, so the price is $4,500.
This price is very firm because I'm secretly hoping I can somehow keep
the boat. If I had a barn or a bigger garage she wouldn't be for sale at
all.
If you're new to sailing, and live in the Philadelphia area I'll even
throw in a few dozen free sailing lessons!
She's a sweet little boat, and I'll miss her forever.
Oh, and even after only six months she's become part of the family so if
you come by to look, please try to act as though you'll take good care of
her. My son in particular is having a hard time with this.
