There's a Laser 28 in my neighborhood. PHRF is 136. Carl seems to have alot of fun on it and he knows how to sail it.

Is that registration Iowa or Louisiana?
Fresh water boat or hurricane boat?

I believe this one has already been snatched up and cleaned up.

That was spectacular

Welcome Matthew;
I believe the closest 235 to you is "Wind in Her Hair" on Lake Hoptacong in New Jersey. Owned by Sarah McElroy, hull #216.

It is beautiful. Why did you re-paint to darker color?
I thought the silver was fabulous too.

Bill's price was on the high side all along, so that he might pay for his new ride, a Catalina 320 wing keel.
I know at least one person looked at the boat and thought the ask was a tad generous. Bu ...

No, but I see he does not understand the use of the apostrophe to express the possessive or word contractions, but not to be used to express plural.
Sad, indeed.

OK, taking this chat in another direction - for a minute - I admire the towable jib cars the Witch has.
It appears that Ian may have customize the original cars, as it appears to be those big hunks o ...
