The one on e-bay in the US would be a steal at double that
price.
I have a free-standing
mast on my present boat and would never go back. Easy to
design and I believe much safer
offshore as you are not relying on a hundred little
rigging pieces.
I have cruised in 5 different sailboats over 40 years. This boat would be my choice.
It has everything done right according to my experience.
Should I have had the inclination to go full time cruising again I would have bought this boat months ago. No production boat can offer all that it has.
Did I mention I was also a
small boat manufacturer at one time?
