greg baker Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I am moving across the country with a plan to move overseas and cannot take my CS17 (Hull #330) project with me. I have been building from one of Graham's kits and it is at the 'epoxy the lockers' stage before putting on the seat tops. The project includes a trailer. I have most of the SYP, fir and mahogany needed to finish the project. I have the mast sail tracks, 3/4" brass half oval for keel, GRP tape and fabric for sheathing the hull exterior and epoxy. Meeting Graham, Carla, their family, Alan and so many others in the B&B universe has been a wonderful experience - not to mention the joy of the building process - and I hate to let go of the boat...but I must. I live in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. I am asking $900 for the project with trailer but I am most interested in the project going to a good home with someone who would appreciate the opportunity so all offers will be considered. I have posted a few photos but I have photos documenting the whole process. Thank you for the interest, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennieG Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Greg- Someone will end up with a very reasonable deal for themselves. Wish I had a friend in Cincinatti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 That is a screaming deal and it looks like quality work. I don't think you'll have any issue selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I am VERY interested! The trip from where I live in Hendersonville, NC would take almost 6 hrs. Any chance of meeting part way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Aw shucks! Chick got dibs on it. The drive would have been pretty bad for me too, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Ludwig Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Still waiting to workout details. Not a "done deal" yet. Anyone else wanting to grab this deal, go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Ludwig Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Looks like I'll be back in the boat building business soon. Greg has offered to bring the boat most of the way to Hendersonville for me. The garage is cleared out enough to put her in. But now I'll need a carport to park our car under for awhile. The wife's not happy about that, she's gotten spoiled having a garage to park in. Oh, well.... Look for a new "finish building a CS-17" thread soon.

Designer Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I am sorry that Greg has to sell his boat. I can vouch for the quality of his boat. Greg and his wife spent a week at our shop putting the hull together under our supervision. When they took it home, it was as fine a CS17 hull as I had seen.

Chick Ludwig Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Never fear Graham! Greg's boat will have her new home on July 4th. I hope to continue the quality that he started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almico Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Can I put my name in the hat for 2nd dibs if things change? I currently have an 18' Lockley-Newport Whitecap daysailer, but since my sons grew up and moved out, it's a little too much boat for me to sail and handle by myself. I need something lighter and better for single handing. I've been eyeballing the CS17 for a few years. I bought a small ranch over a year ago that has a 28'x21' garage and I'm just now n the process of finishing off the inside for heat and A/C. It will be ready by mid-summer for a nice project. I've been lurking here for years. Glad to come aboard. Alan in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Almico, I hereby appoint you to second dibs. But don't hold your breath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almico Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 No breath holding . But if "life happens", you know it will have a good home. In the mean time I'll be thinking about that CS15 kit that I see on the drawing board. My first project is to finish my garage/shop. It's only studs and open soffits now. NJ winters make it a very unfriendly place in December. The plan is to have the garage done by mid-summer and the boat project locked and loaded for the fall/winter/spring.

Chick Ludwig Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Looks like she may be back on the market. Situation here may cause me to sell. Let me know if you are interested. She is located here in Hendersonville now. I've not done any work on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
