But only for the next couple days. I have a very narrow opportunity to get into a slightly bigger and heavier boat in the next few days.
Carla and I have been dreaming of Greenland, Alaska, and Patagonia. The truth is I’ve been thinking of steel, and heavier boats and we have a crazy possibility but have to strike at it now._2.jpg "photo-(9)")
I may be willing to sell Splendid in the 30-40k range with her mooring (no slip fees) ASAP here in Panama.
If anyone is interested please contact me at alexdorsey@gmail.

Also if someone is willing to give me a loan based on Splendid’s paper, I’d be up for that too. If I had time to sell her down here I could get 60-70k with the mooring.
peace.

Geez – that post heading scared the hell out of me. I see these as bookmarks – and with all the health posts, the heading gave me chills.
I am glad you are OK, ambitious, and only suffering from an acute bout of 2foot-itis.
Any questions about steelies, feel free to send them along – I currently sail a Petit Prince 12.5m steel, and previously did a complete restore on a 37 foot corten steel yawl.
If the boat comes with its own genset/welder you can be pretty well and truly self sufficient – no more messing about with resins. On the other side, you will always need a needle scaler/grinder and a pot of epoxy on the go.
Good luck!
Okay guys,
I couldn’t pull it off but there is still time if someone out there wants an opportunity to get into a westsail 42 for super cheap (15k) now.
Go to westsail42.wordpress.com to see the pictures, and go to eBay and type in westsail to find the auction.
Peace
I saw this boat on eBay yesterday! She’s purdy.
I have to agree with Devon. My heart stopped for just a moment. Dam you could have brought it on us a little less abrupt. But then again you got our attention.
All the best in your search
Dang… I was rooting for you. Catch you on the private side.

Please nobody bid, I’ve managed to get a small snipe in
Tom Colvin’s Gazelle and Saugeen Witch are nice steel designs. A Gazelle recently went for $5,000 on eBay..below the scrap cost of the steel and lead.
We managed to get into the westsail 42 (Rocinante), I am flying to new you’re to get her on Tuesday.
