Hello all,

It is with deep regret that it has come time to sell our beloved First 235, named Argo (and previously known as Pye). I have posted 48 pictures on Flickr, which can be found at:

Hello, all...

I just want to say that it has been a pleasure being a part of such a nice group of fellow sailors who love and appreciate the First 235s. At any rate, we are happy to report that our Argo, formerly PYE has sold to a very nice couple who are from Minnetonka, MN.

For those of you in that region, I understand that she will be sailing with the Wayzata Yacht Club, located on Lake Minnetonka and in the Apostle Islands.

Thanks so much,

Karen & Dennis Griffith

She will be well cared for by the people who bought her. Talked to them Sunday and we are all looking forward to racing against each other. We will now have 5 235's at WYC. Time to start thinking about our own class.
