Happy New Year from Whidbey Island in Washington, where the boating season lasts all year. I don't know if anyone back in VT might be interested enough in buying an Etchells to haul one back from Washington State, but if so, there is one that just came up on Craig's List for $3900. I don't know anything about this particular boat and have no financial interest in it, but the price is low enough that it might offset the shipping (or a very long road trip). Here is the ad:
Nor'East Gypsy and crew (Cap'n Gary Robitaille and brother/first mate Chuck) completed a successful and wonderful trip to Washington, NC. For photos and a blog of the trip click on this link:
It sure doesn’t seem like it could be 10 years since the Etchells fleet was established Shelburne Bay, but this August 23 marks the anniversary of the day a group of five boats received their official “fleet charter†from the International Etchells Class. That group included Dave Powlison, Ernie and Bette Reuter, Rick Stevens, Don O’Brien/Steve Booth, and Jack Milbank. And, of course, this would not have been possible without the considerable support of LCYC.
