what are you asking? What is your location?

Unless it is fairly cheap, I doubt I can buy it (have passed off many boats as I can't borrow the money, last one was only 2k). If I can't, for some reason, buy your boat, would you be willing to charter it???

If you could email details and pics to t03y@teamskandia.com that would be appreciated!

Hi Michael- thanks for replying- to be honest if you are a competent sailor who enjoys the adrenalin of racing prepared to travel the continent to sail at what i would call a really difficult sailing place like BYC (i refuse to sail there cos its such a bitch) you just would not do it in a sabre of only 2 grand against their super new glass boats -my sabre at $4250 is the minimum -if you are not prepared to spend that you just wony have fun- maybe sell it once the regatta is over- ive sailed more nationals than nearly anyone in sabres over the last 20 years so im realistic a 2 grand sabre is a club sabre that never leaves its club and is usually no more competitive than splashing around on a sunday afternoom-as for leasing -well im selling not leasing

I'm not going for a win, just to have a good time with some mates from interstate who are coming down to compete.

I sail here all the time and have no trouble with the conditions.

Price is far too much considering current financial situation. Also do not want to fork out big for a top boat, to sail for a season, and then spend the next 2 or more seasons paying it off.

Ok, no worries about leasing, I understand it is something that needs a lot more thought than selling!

Thankyou for responding. I hope your health improves and you get back on the water soon! Smile

Hi Michael, yes Peters boat is still for sale as I spoke to around a week ago.

Best bet would be to give him a call. His details are in the add on the for sale page.

Cheers,
