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

Travis, Is this a Princess Sharpie 22? I'm new to the forum and not sure exactly what I'm looking at. Brent

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

Randy, Do you still have the Belhaven 19 in Seattle? I am planing to be in Seattle in May & would love to see this boat in person. Brent

Chick, I noticed that you previously owned a Princess Sharpie 22. I am very seriously considering building one of these 2 boats (CS 17 Mrk 3 or a PS22). Might you be able to differentiate the two boats for me? I am in love with the looks of the PS22, but don't know the trade offs for these gorgeous looks (there are usually trade off for good looks). I am looking for a family cruiser for exploring, day sailing with 4-6, and overnighting with 2-3. I'm not looking to win any races, just explore. I want the boat safe, simple, fast to rig, shallow draft, easy to trailer, single hand capable. I plan to use the motor a fair amount, Idaho wind is very fickle. If you were looking to gunk hole around with your family, an occasional overnighter or week long sailing trip to the Puget Sound with your wife, which boat might you recommend, or yet a different boat altogether. How did you enjoy you PS22? Was the boat what you envisioned it would be? In what areas did it disappoint you? In what areas did it impress you? Looking forward to your thoughts, Brent
