2014 27 octobre, For Sale, Dun"Add Re-Listed" Time for making an offer is Now! Remember Sterling has never been as strong against the Euro as it is now - So come talk to us - All 'reasonable offers considered'.If you like to compete this is the boat 4 you. If you are serious about racing this is a boat you can compete with, and have a serious amount of fun. Current owners have successfully campaigned this boat since circa 2005. Too many trophies to list, it gets embarrassing! Quotes: "Sailing is not a leisure pursuit - it's a sport" "The more I practice the luckier I get" "Its not the winning, it's the taking apart" "I don't care how close it was - it wasn't First.Due to too many holidays and ever increasing Foreign Holiday interests, the boat is not being campaigned as seriously as in previous years. It is a shame that the pleasure this boat gives should not be enjoyed to the full. Now is the chance for some one else to enjoy the thrills, spills and success that this boat just gives and gives and gives. [Very responsive, sails like a Fireball dingy, light and responsive tiller action, well balanced fast fun!!!]. Price: EUR 25,000, Location: Dún Laoghaire Co Dublin Ireland
