when I was looking for one in June, i emailed most of them on that site , and any replies I had said the boat was sold.... years ago!

But one guy said that his mate still had his, not used due to kids etc, and might be selling.... and now i've got one!

If there are 2 of you looking try www.skiffasia.com - they seem to be selling their 29ers at the moment.  OK you need to organise a container over to the UK but the boats are in perfect nick and hardly been used...

Why do people bother putting "fast boat" in an ad for SMODs?

Another good source of secondhand 29er's is to contact Dave Hall @ niners@ovingtonboats.co.uk Dave attends most events and often takes boats in part exchange. The current delivery time for new boats is 6 weeks.

It's called "salesmanship", I suppose. And it implies you lift it onto the cradle rather than just connecting it to a 4wd and dragging it over the oysters, etc.

It's human nature to talk bull about things isn't it? I've seen people saying how a heavy, scratched and leaky 1977 Laser is really a super-fast boat because  that year they had 3mm less hollow aft of the bailer. Strangely such people decline to swap their own new boats for said '77 bucket when the offer is made, illustrating that there's a difference between what they say and what they truly believe.

Having said that, SMODs like Lasers and Tasars here get zero premium from dealers (or anyone else I know) for having a championship winning race record.
