And here is the latest from the owner.... Magic Frog is now in NH!

_________________________________________________________

Hi

My name's Geoff and I have a 235 in Portsmouth New Hampshire. I have sailed close to 3000 Nm including 2 seasons in the Bahamas and a trip along the north coast of Cuba. The boat is ready for singlehanded cruising and since I have towed it from Newport RI to Florida and back. I would not mind at quick delivery to Canada.

I need to leave the US in 7 weeks time, so am reducing the price to:

US$ 11500 ($13500 with a 1995 Chevy 2500 pickup! )

E-mail me on: Magicfrog2@hotmail.com if you are interrested.

The boat is Magic frog and there are some pictures floating around the net. My US phone number is (561)267 3201

Bye
Geoff
