Looks like a done deal. Seller has accepted Mrs. E's offer.

Sea trial and survey this coming week.

============================================

Congratulations, now the real negotiations begin!

Would this be the "Herz Knot Yerz" by any chance?

That's the one.

Sweet.

Just out of curiosity - does that sail deal actually work?

All the best,

I've used them.
And they make a noticable difference for the better in a beam sea.
And while they're not really made for it, I read about some folks who sailed a
32' through a bridge and into a harbor when their engine failed.

I often wondered that - now I know.

I would think that there would be a lot of leeway with something like
that.

Boy, have I got a lot to learn. I thought the sail thingy was just to
confuse sailboaters.

If you want to confuse everybody, set the sail and raise the black inverted

Not that anybody would know what that was anyway. "What's that - keep

Which bring up a question: Do the tow companies down your way use day
