At present, there are 8 boats for sale in the Pacific Northwest and Alberta, and you can see them all on the Fleet One Buy&Sell page here.

The most likely buyers are folks we already know: 

• M242 crew who want their own boat to race
• People who own other boat types and want to switch, or could be talked into it
• People who have expressed an interest in getting back into racing One Design, etc.

If you have anyone in your orbit who fits that description, steer them to the Buy&Sell page and walk them thru the attributes of the various boats that are listed.  

In 2018 we had 9 boats change hands, 2 retained ownership, and 1 moved to BC from Ontario! Quite a development, and one that builds on the 7 or so boats that changed hands in 2017. So far in 2019 one Nanaimo boat and an Orcas Island boat have already sold, so perhaps this is the year we really clear out the modest backlog.  

The 2019 NA’s will be at Orcas Island in Washington State on June 29/30, so use this as a selling tool with potential buyers, where they can join 25 other boats for some tight racing!  

If you or the potential buyers have any questions about the boats for sale, contact the owners or Michael Clements (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

The 2019 North American championship site is now live and the Notice of Race is available for download. The site includes detailed planning information on where to stay, moorage, how to get there, meals and food, health and safety, venue information, and more. Registration is also now open—early registration before May 15 is greatly appreciated for planning purposes (and it will save you $50 USD).

The Orcas Island Yacht Club is working hard to make this a world-class event. Paul Ulibarri is confirmed as the Principal Race Officer and Alex and Sue Foley will bring Gatsby for the race committee platform along with their professional race management team. See a live webcam of the venue at the OIYC website. 

Updates on the event will be posted to the Facebook event as well as the event website, including registered boats. Please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (event chair) with any questions.
