A note from Hookfinger
This vessel has treated me well for almost a decade, and it's time to find her next captain. I've spent the last year ensuring she's ready for another half century of blue water sailing.
I'm not looking to recoup any more than this year's investment in her, so the price is set at $42,500.
So if you're a young adventurer / sailor / tinkerer who can appreciate a full keel ocean vessel that will dig in during a blow and always get you home, come take a look. I'm searching for her next caretaker.
