2017 5 March, "Sailing Anarchy Forum", Pretty Penny is indeed available for purchase. She is one of three built by Hank Eason to a Gary Mull design. She has been a wonderful boat for me, and I am selling her only because I bought her sister ship, and really don't need two of these classics.

2019 "Sailing Arnarchy", For sale 30’ Gary Mull-designed PRETTY PENNY was built by Easom Boatworks in 1972. She is cold molded with fiberglass sheathing, Yanmar diesel, full sail inventory for San Francisco Bay, sleeps four, galley, VHF, instruments, Martec prop, recent haulout. A solid racer/cruiser, fast and easy to sail. $16,000 OBO,

2023 June, from Facebook "My other Mull 30.7 - Pretty Penny is currently in the yard getting a very proper refresh at Hank Easom's mentors yard - Spaulding boat works. Myron Spaulding a legend of the San Francisco bay helped Easom build and deliver Pretty Penny in 1971. Hull is being patched and painted, redressed rudder, new prop and refreshed rigging. My goal was to bring back classic halfton racing to the San Francisco bay but now leaning to go east with one to find friends to sail against"


"You are welcome to come get Lively Lady, the original Mull 30 from 1968, Pretty Penny's older sister. Her sailing record reads like a whos who from the golden age of American Sailing with multiple international victories and regional championships. She made he careers of many folks, her lines became what the IOR leaned into in the early 1970s. She has the similar original shape out of gorgeous, lovely mahogany strip planking, sails great and really needs a good home and caretaker. I sailed her hard a few weeks ago in a serious regatta and she did very well despite her old sails. I am open to nearly to all offers from good folks."
