Hang in there. What's that boat worth, really? Somebody will happen
along who actually likes it, and be willing to pay a fair price.

Thanks - it just ****ed me off. I could never do retail boat sales -
I'd end up shooting somebody. :)

I figure it's worth about $4500 +/- a couple of hundred. It is what
it is - a sound boat in sound mechanical condition with a full suite
of sails, covers with a trailer and a 10 horse electric start
outboard.

Not fancy - just a great little gunk holer. If somebody wants to turn
it into a project, it would be great for that also.

I just don't have the time.

Don't waste a minute on idiots like that. Nordicas were made by a different
company.
As I mentioned before that boat is worth $6K CDN up here.
http://sailquest.com/market/models/halman.htm
and I've seen 'cream puff' versions asking $10K CDN.

Thanks.

Part of the problem is that everybody knows Nordica 20s, but they
don't know Halman's. Why? I don't know.

As I said, it's in decent shape, but I'm not giving it away to get rid
of it. Quite beyond the fact that I've got some money invested in it,
I'd like to give my Uncle some money off the sale too - not a lot,
just a little to make him feel better about selling his baby that he
couldn't sail anymore.

We'll see.
