tdrown Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 It's been a while since I last posted here, but it's been a while since I've done any major work to my boat besides the obligatory sanding and painting. I've been going to school in Philadelphia for the past three years and racing for my school's sailing team in 420s and FJs (one-design sailing dinghies). My parents have moved across the country so I no longer have an convenient and simple place to store and work on the boat and I only have about half the tools I had to build the boat. The boat is currently in the backyard of a relative of a family-friend and it's about an hour-and-a-half away from Philadelphia and not very near any Lake. For those reasons, plus the fact that I've got so many other projects going on, I've decided it's time to sell the boat. I am going to sail her for one last time this weekend, to get some good sailing photographs and for old-times sake. I've put together this photo album of the best photos from the past 4 years and the construction: http://picasaweb.google.com/cruisingsailor/GailJean I will probably be listing the boat on eBay, any suggestions, ideas, etc.? I haven't lost the boat building bug, I have a One Sheet Skiff that is serving time as a book case and I am almost finished with a stitch-and-glue dory that I have been on-and-off working on since high school. -tsd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 The photos sound like a good idea and should help sell your boat. It is tough to build or maintain a boat without a place to do it. Where are you going to school at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
