    Dirt cheap second hand.

    I’ll not give to much away by telling you a black lab is a prominent character.

I have sailed dabchicks, sprog, extra, unicorn cat, fireball, international moth, and raced hobie 14, and mosquito catamaran, and currently into international one-metre radio controlled yachts. Nice to meet you.
