My husband passed away and I am selling his 1996 Barnett 1400. A neighbor offered me 400.00 , I countered with 800.00 with I thought was fair. It is in excellent condition. I used to race with my husband on a 6 mitre, I miss that. Any thoughts on price I should ask for the Barnett. This widow would appreciate any input

Welcome to the forum!!........and I am sorry for your loss.

This one was/is listed for $1500: Barnett 1400 — For Sale — Sailboat Guide and Barnett 1400 Sailboat & Trailer (Similar to Laser, Force 5 & Sunfish) - $1500 (Ft Myers (41 & Colonial)) | Boats For Sale | Fort Myers, FL | Shoppok

Provide the seller with these links so they can fall in love with it and meet your price: Barnett 1400 - Home (barnett1400sailboat.com) AND Barnett 1400 - Wikipedia

Also look at prices for comparable size (14' ft) sailing dinghys like Laser, Force 5, Chrysler Dagger 14 and Sunfish on the internet for price comparison.

Might find these threads helpful: Laser vs. Barnett 1400 vs Chrysler Dagger 14 | SailingForums.com AND How can i find a very small sailboat used? | SailNet Community

First of all I'm sorry for your loss. Secondly I would refrain from selling anything without researching prices and it's good that you didn't take the $400. I would retract the $800 offer, ask $1,400 and take no less than $1,100. I think this would be more than fair.

The boat looks to be in excellent shape. I recently sold a 1981 sunfish (similar boat) that was in excellent shape for $1000 with no trailer, first person to look at it. Ask $1500, take $1400, no less, it looks worth it.

rumdee, Sorry for your loss. Is your Barnett 1400 still available? It is one of the boats that I have been looking for. Thanks
