Chick Ludwig Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hey guys, I have a friend that is wanting a CS17 or 20, Mk3 partially finished boat that he can complete. He would also maybe be interested in one that is not being used and needs repairs. Please reply here if you know of one that is available.

rhbush Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Has your friend found a CS17 Mk 3 yet? I have one partially finished. Was hoping to finish in time for the next EC, but does not look like it is going to be completed in time. Might consider selling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 He hasn't done anything yet. Where is it, how far along in construction is it? Is it from plans--or a kit, and what comes with it? Price? Do you have a trailer for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhbush Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I am in SW Florida. It is built from a kit. I have pretty much everything, including masts, rudder, centerboard, etc. All from B & B. I also have the Sailrite kits for the sails. No trailer yet, because I have not needed one yet but used trailers aren't that hard to find down here. Not sure about the price. I honestly had not thought about selling it until I saw your post. It is very close to being ready to flip over and glass the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Let me know when you decide. My friend isn't sure yet what he wants to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhbush Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Why don't either you or your friend shoot me an email directly. I would sell it, but the price would depend on what all he wanted... and on how much more work I do on it. My email address is ralph.bush at earthlink.net If they are interested, I am sure we can come up with a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Todd Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 NC Todd Here, just curious as to the post referencing a MK3 for sale in Oriental. Any additional information on that one? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Silsbe Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 @NC Todd— It is under the heading Avocet. It is right above or below this post. Richard Johnson is a meticulous builder. If I were 10 years younger, this boat would be sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blkskmr Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hellow NC Todd, This is Richard Johnson the owner and builder of Avocet. I can be reached at W10139@gmail.com. or by phone at 252 515 6599. You can see the build information on this sight under CS 17 Mk III Avocet. I'm not great with advertising but she comes with a very good trailer. I just replace the bearing, and it has a spare tire. I also replaced the leaf springs last year. She has custom made cushions which are very comfortable and serviceable. We added ports at the front of the cabin and the 4 side windows open for ventilation. We made a scoop for the front tabernacle compartment to push air in. This is a long winded way of saying, good ventilation without bugs. Nice creature comforts. She is overbuilt in terms epoxy, she is very stiff. I have dropped her off waves and she does not shiver and she surfs nicely. Finally it is much more important to me that she finds a good home than to extract every penny of value out of her. Best Regards to all, and thank you.

Blkskmr Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Also forgot to mention, she has always been dry stored under our house, and she comes with a dust cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
