General condition and any additional information

Unfortunately age has caught up with me and Ive decided to make a graceful exit from the boating scene. Meanwhile, I am offering a very well conditioned, loved and maintained daysailer that I am confident will restore your enjoyment of sailing for the fun of it.

Inquiries by phone, email or text are welcome. Boat and trailer are licensed and registered in Florida. No sea trials. In-person sale only. Located near Tallahassee.
