There seems to be an ever increasing number of project boats being put up for sale of recent times. Another one recently apppeared on CL in Vancouver BC - Kind of sad really, another dream gone for someone, looks to be a good one too and only $9500 asking?
Gotta wonder about the wisdom of continuing with my own project but, I intend to finish it and go sailing sooner or later.

Take a look at this one - click on the URL at the bottom for a couple of pics.

Yes,

Especially concerning is that some scavenger may buy her for parts... with the yanmar (and a spare!) she may well be worth more then asking price in parts alone.
