Boat buyers are great!! :) 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.
