SOLD - 9th boat of 2025 to change hands and the 87th in ~9 years - Vancouver, BC (listed for CDN$10,000): Blue Fish, hull #14, from Dave Cramb to Matthew Henry and Lily Hope of Victoria, BC on November 29. Dave wanted the boat to be bought by active racers in the Class, which has been accomplished.

With a blue hull, Blue Fish came with a lighter-weight road and yard trailer, and a mostly-completed Measurement Certificate. The boat weighed in at about 100 pounds light and the keel and rudder were both grandfathered.

Matt and Lily are both experienced racers and are coaches with the Pacific Sea Cadet Sail Team. They are members at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club where the boat will be kept going forward, joining 10 other 242's, a new high at Royal Vic. 

Welcome to the Regional Fleet, Matt & Lily!

The Mast & Boom Project is moving along through the various stages, and Stewart Jones at Pro-Tech Yacht Services in North Vancouver is in the process of building two complete test masts that should be finished by year-end. We’ve lined up a few people to test them in Vancouver and Victoria once they are ready, and when enough testing in racing conditions has been completed a 3rd test mast will be produced with any required design tweaks. The test masts will then go up for sale at greatly discounted rates.

We launched the money-raising campaign for the Production stage in late 2023, and tubes are selling fast: 44 out of 90 have been sold or allocated already and we have about CDN$26,400 in the bank to pay for the test tubes, some tooling, and the final Production Run in the summer of 2026.

If you place an order for one or two test tubes before December 31st, 2025, each tube will cost CDN$500 (plus a $50 storage fee if required). This is rock-bottom pricing.

Starting January 1st the price for 2 tubes goes up to CDN$1250 plus $100 storage, and in 2027 the base price will rise to CDN$1350, and in 2028 it will go to CDN$1450.

These prices are still far below regular commercial rates, so pre-order your tubes now and either take delivery or pay a nominal storage fee for the next 5 years.
