Wonderful people, arn't they? I take it they didn't "tire kick" and
bring a psuedo-surveyer?

Proving that the first jerk who offered you a fraction of its value
was the major loser.

May be seller's karma- but just after you decided that you didn't
really care if you sold it at all and thought you might keep it you
wound up getting your full asking price.

In any negotiation, the party that prevails will be the one *least*
emotionally involved.

So you're going to replace this with?....

At this point nothing because I've got to have my hip replaced this
fall, so no sail boats until after that gets done. At that point,
we'll see - maybe something like Don's Sandpiper or just a simple easy
to use, throw it in the water type of boat like a Laser or Zuma.

Actually, I'm thinking of buying another Contender and just get the
whole damn fleet down to one. Trailerable of course.

This time, no bunks - rollers.

Good plan .. A Sandpiper 565 or a Catalina 18 are a great size for day sails
and occasional weekenders. Just big enough to have a place to sleep and a
pump out head if you plan on taking the wife along.
You can always go ashore and stay a night at a hotel on occasion.

If you planned on sailing singlehanded on fine afternoons in protected
waters, a smaller open boat might do the trick.
example CL16, Hunter 17 etc.
Older guys like us may not appreciate those flat lasers for more than a few
hours at a time.

Hey, I picked up a fixerupper Bluejay last year, came with Main, Jib,
and three size spinnakers (sic) supposedly for racing. Down home we
got the frostbite yacht club racing all winter in these things. Looks
like a fun little boat, if I get a little sailboat set up this season,
I will let you know, glad to let you borrow a little one some weekend.

Halman end up?

His wife is from Nova Scotia - he's from Maine - right up at the
border.

Somewhere up the tip of Maine - I have to look on his card and it's in
the office.

His brother has one and his Dad owned one and apparently there are
several in the marina where this one will be kept. He was very
knowledgable about the Halman and pretty much nailed everything that
could go wrong with the boat over time and what needed to be done to
get this one in perfect condition. He knew his stuff, no BS and he
gave me exactly what I asked.

I'm sorry to see it go, but I didn't have the time for it not to
mention all the shoulder problems and my impending joint replacement.

Nice job Tom. I'd email the asshole that offered you $600 and let him know
that he let a nice boat slip thru his fingers.
