I gotta hand it to you - you really know your stuff. You 'da man.

I just bought a 20' Halman double ender sight unseen - it's my Uncle's
boat out in Milwaukee - I'm going out to get it the middle of August.
It's in pristine condition as he had the boat gone over and detailed
when he bought it two years ago.

It comes with a 9.9 Evinrude electric start, two mains, full jib, half
jib and a storm jib, trailer and some other goodies.

I'm looking forward to sailing Narragansett Bay and getting in the
power boater's way for a change. :)

I'll post pictures as soon as I get them.

Once again, many thanks for being a sailing resource - you are
valuable member of the group.

Geeze...thanks for the compliments..get them so seldom I hardly know
what to think.
I'm a bit jealous. If I was going to belong to a yacht club and wet
sail, that would be a dandy boat to own. Just before I retired 1.5 years
ago I was keeping an eye on the one owned by one of our TV reporters.
Seemed to indicate he might sell but never did. He keeps his at the
Armdale Yacht Club. There are a couple of real nice ones here but most
are starting to look their age. They were supposed to be well made
(Nordicas anyway). My buddy, who lives in the Virgin Islands and
another local character, who runs the most popular chip truck (french
fry) downtown actually schemed to distribute the Nordicas way back in
the late '70s. I think they had big dreams but minimal capital to pull
it off.
Best of luck with the new boat.
