I'm new to the forum, but have owned a Core Sound 17 since 2009. She was built by Charlie Jones in 2006...great boat...a real quality build by Charlie...I'm her second owner. Completed 3 Texas 200's in her...one single handed. My sailing goals have changed so I'm putting her up for sale. She's in really excellent condition. If you know of anyone who might be interested in a beautiful, fast, stable, and easy to sail craft, send them my way. Kevin NIcolin
