Hello All!

We're busy doing the very young family thing for the next few years, so selling the big boat and just focusing on the 235 until we can get back on the big stuff. Details on the sailboat listings ad below:

http://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/53431

Give me a call and lets take her for a sail!

John

John,

Given all the work you have done and the nice cradle you have for Loxley, sure you want to sell? Why not just shrink wrap and place in storage until you life circumstances change a bit? I have sold three boats, regretted each sale. The sale I regret the most was boat #2, an Ericson 26. It went in a moment of new parent panic. Wish I had kept that one, it was the best of the lot. Best of luck whatever you decide. Appreciate all the good posts.

Dave

We thought long and hard about storing her on the hard and then jumping back in with her down the road, but between the family, our home, and mostly our new business, just makes more sense to stay light on our feet for a while. I'd love for someone to be out giving her a run for her money anyway!

Also, We're already having fun shopping for what the next option and where it could be! ;^)

What kind of pricing are you thinking about/ I HAVE A 235 but have an opportunity to possibly go to the NC coast but thinking something a little bigger than the 235 might be more comfortable! Have boat can trade!!!
