All of the Bonezzi sell very quickly and in the UK they are rarely advertised. The last one ended up being to sold to an Australian and exported there.
 
Should have said mine is a foan sandwich boat. Not epoxy as the glass rules do not allow for this when building a glass boat. For some reason you can buiild a wooden boat using epoxy.


Yep I have wood epoxy Gosling built boat - can't afford a Bonezzi!  Still haven't sailed it yet.. Cry

Why are you selling Mark?

My other lottery expenditure would be to get a real expert to tart up my classic 14 which has now been on my to do list for nearly two years.  Ridiculous.
the same, but different...

Cool what a great idea, have the boat fitted with a sheath of them, hoist them once and detach rather than drop, just rack out another next time..

Leave them in the water discarded to pick up later, give some additional 'obstacles' for the rest of the fleet to negotiate, now that's what I'd call cheque book racing..

There's an all wood one at our club come to think of it, 505man uses it on occasion to do exactly that.
Every now and then all the other 'Con'men gather round with their lemon earl grey in their open toed sandals and grey worsted socks and coo softly over it.

Then they turn, look at their twenty year old heaps of polyster landfill and nip home for a tongue lashing for being two minutes late.

Dragon. The butler can be the other crew member.
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

It is currently overpriced on the BCA website - I must get round to revising it to £7950 and open to offers.
 
This boat has all the carbon you are allowed and is ready for the Worlds at Weymouth next year.
 
p.s The builder was Joachim Harpprecht - the designer of your least favourite trapeze singlehander GRF.

It was built in 1988! The woodworm will have moved in, multiplied to the point they'd have had to build sink estates and hand out Asbo's.

And the bottom has fallen out of the antique brown furniture market didn't you know, says he with a house full of it.
