The atomic doesn't run according to the seller.

So, how much is another Atomic? Or, just sail the thing...

Sails for a 27 foot boat? $3-4K

Nah. Wasn't that much for *either* of our sails, new, from Lee. There have
to be acres of available sails from all the usual suspects, including
Bacon's, Minney's and Masthead, for a few hundred.

If someone only has $2k to spend on a boat, they can't remotely afford
this one.

Well, there's that :{)) First cost is always least cost in other than new
boats...


If you found a Catalina 27 in similar condition, you might have a
whisper of a prayer because of their popularity.

Or, a nice Freedom, GREAT sailing boats in the smaller ones. If I suddenly
had to go it alone, I think I'd be happy on a Freedom 32, based on our
chartering one during our initial research into whether this (our cruising
life) would work for Lydia.

Couple inexpensive examples of smaller freedoms: yachtworld numbers 2134422
and 2141897...

Skip and crew, about to go up the arch for the last bits of polishing, and
then off to look at what I suspect to be a major anchor and chain we passed
over on the way to finding shallow enough (!!) water to finally actually go
aground for a half-hour or so while I cleaned the bottom. As the moon
approaches full, we might be aground for a full hour or maybe even a few
minutes more. So much for "you can't go anywhere in the Bahamas with a 7'
draft!
