So I posted recently about looking for a sailboat to race/cruise on… I actually found the boat I grew up racing on. My dad passed in October 2023 and some of the fondest memories I have are racing on this boat.
In talks with the seller now. Seems like it was meant to be. Plan is to get her to Charleston and then spend the remaining warm months practicing. Hope to race next season. Cheers!

Nice! You’ll be in my Wednesday night fleet assuming you race with kites. Can’t wait to see you on the racecourse.
