It is hull #221. Bill got it from his brother and brought it to Chicago 3 years from South Carolina. It was renamed 'About Time."
In same harbor and yacht club as Hot Flash.
He raced regularly and was complimented by the fleet captain as 'most improved boat' this year. Compliment was well deserved.

Is it my imagination, or are the prices climbing? Is anyone getting what they're asking?

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. But good for him if he gets it.
