Brent65 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Fellow Sailors, I'm curious if anyone on the West coast has a Princess Sharpie 22? I would love to look at one before committing to build this awesome little cruising sailboat. I live in Idaho, but am willing to drive anywhere in the West to see one. I had a real nice visit with Chick the other night regarding his experience with a P22 and would love to sit in one to get a better feeling of overall size. Thanks, Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I live on Vermont's west coast, and I have the P22 that Chick built. If you find youself in the area (awesome skiing at the moment) get in touch, and you can at least sit on one, indoors. Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent65 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Joel, Thanks but thats a little far to travel. I meant the West coast of the United States. But, I do appreciate the offer. Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennieG Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I didn't realize Vermont had a west coast, or any coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Silsbe Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nope. That's a shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 The top half of the west side of Vermont, near where I live, abuts Lake Champlain, thus "The West Coast". About 100 miles long and up to 12 miles wide, plenty of room for Princess. Plus canal access to NYC, Montreal, Erie Canal, etc., I won't live long enough to explore it all. Unfortunately all frozen over at the moment (and below zero at the moment, no thaw in sight). Did the ICW from Southport NC to Lake Champlain 2 years ago, nice way to spend a month (not on Princess). Mid-Coast of Maine and Mystic about 6 hours away, Chesapeake and NC sounds within a day's drive. Lots of possibilities. Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Your (almost) land-locked West coast seems to have a lot more cruising opportunities than my Indian Ocean West coast. Actually, I guess we have exactly the same number of cruising opportunities but you have more that are within long-weekend reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hey y'all, let's see if we can get back to Brent's question. Is there a P-22 on the west coast of the UNITED STATES that he can go look at. Seems like I heard of one but can't remember who or where. Can any of y'all help?
