Any one no of any for sale.... cheap!

There is one on Apollo Duck but they want more than we can afford/justify at the moment.

What they want and what they are prepared to accept if there are no other offers may differ of course...

The 59er seems to hold its price as only about one a year comes up for sale .
Forget the "old man's boat" image - you need to be pretty agile for this tippy craft!

May be, I guess as Jim says it depends on how much you want to sell it as although they dont come up very often I suspect there aren't that many people looking to buy them... other wise they might have sold more of them.

I've sailed them before, and to be honest its the stability thats part of the attraction.... but then i guess it depends on what your comparing it to.

And you think 8 stone on the wire will suffice, Ian?!

Yes I reckon it will be fine. Sure we will be to light but then that's a problem we often have. It hasn't got that much more sail than a 29er, and its a pretty flat cut from what i recall, O and I think it has more beam so all in all we'd cope ok i think.

But think of that mast-head kite, Ian.  It'll be "Hoo Island here we come!" on the reach along Gillingham.
