This is a first, at least as far as I remember... Never seen a First 235 in HAWAII before. Wondering how it got there. I think this is a Challenge for ole Ash to SAIL HER BACK!

Actually, at over $15K, it's not exactly in the deal territory, and this for a wing with little exterior mods (and with a 5hp). The inside is like a mini-palace though, almost as if someone was attempting to live the Islands Dream in a little 21ft Middle America Pillow Water Roost.

In fairness, they did have a shot of the cockpit but it didnt reveal too much. Too bad the shots werent a bit larger, too. It doesnt have ST winches and appears to still retain the useless stock extension.

If they knock $10K off, I could just go there and jump start my world cruise.

I am at a Motel 6 in Fort Stockton TX trailering my Stiletto 27 to San Antonio to the new owner. I can even access the wireless link from the adjacent motel... nothing like a souped up external antenna.

This is the first time I have trailered this far in one go and I find this southern route pretty flat and easy. Trailering from the East Coast now doesn't seem too bad.

Happy new Year!

Not only does she have the original useless extension, but the original sails... Owned by the same guy since 1987, sailed twice a month and never raced, and absolutely pristine. And while she was over priced, we bought her anyway! After all, I think she really IS the only 235 in the islands.

We're already shopping for new sails, undecided on the self tailers. Never had a boat this size before so we'll sail her for a while and see as far as upgrades go.

welcome to the madhouse.

We hope (make that "know") that you'll have lots of fun in her. Any thoughts on a name yet or do you want to sail around a bit first and find out what jumps out at you (namewise).

Her current name is "Papillon". My husband wants to name her "Ben"; we'll see if laziness overcomes our intentions, but neither one of is big on butterflies. We picked her up on Sunday, with 15 knots of wind and 4-6 foot swells. She surfs down-wind like a dream, but we're delaying our opinion of upwind performance until we get new sails- her main has a huge belly, and it's hard to flatten her existing jib.

But so far, we love her!

Unfortunately, while our 235 was a great play boat while we lived on our 41 foot Coronado, since we sold the Coronado and moved to shore, "Ben" is just too small for inter-island cruising. 1987 wing keel, with new in the last year: main, jib, spinnaker, self-tailers, boom kicker, standing rigging, running rigging, mast base, mast wiring and VHF. Listed for $14,800, but way negotiable.

The title of the thread still says (SOLD) in it. Lets have this corrected. Interesting full circle on a purchase and a sale. I wonder what the average turn around on a 235 is? So far our boat average keep time is 3 seasons on the past two we have owned. We (still) think we have found a design that is a keeper for longer term with plans on buying a second 235 for the kids when they get to double digits in age when space becomes scarcer (or to race girls against boys to keep an adult near the controls).
