A Little Too Windy

[Woreign]

Well, if I shouldn't be towing anything with my car, then it might be best if I haul the boat to the back yard, fill it with dirt, and plant flowers in it!

There's a Venture 17 near me for $295: https://mobile.craigslist.org/boa/d/mobile-venture-17-sailboat-project/6841560428.html

I wonder how much of the rigging can be shared between the DaySailer and the Venture?

Woreign; what body of water are you sailing in?

 

[Woreign]

Primarily Choctawhatchee Bay in North West Florida.

Should be some beautiful sailing there. I primarily sail mobile bay. Water is probably nicer where you are.

That Venture 17 looks interesting. Won't cost you much to try if it's not trashed. I think I saw 800 lbs weight for it.

The trailer doesn't look that great. I'd be worried about a losing a bearing towing it home...

They are close. There may be some hardware (tackle) that will transfer.

Don’t you have a 17 ft trailer? For the price, I’m surprised there’s a trailer at all. If you look at it and it’s worth getting, the trailer is a problem you can solve.

 

[Woreign]

I just called and was told it is probably already sold...

 

[Jim26m]

No biggie. Something else will come up.
