Fleet 1 and 2 Boat Transactions in 2023 so far

A couple of boats have changed hands in the regional fleet so far this year:


Monte Paulsen - #65 Midnight
On January 8th Monte Paulsen purchased Midnight (hull 65) from Micah Vanderheide and is keeping the boat at Kitsilano Yacht Club.


February 25th was the first chance to get a photo of Monte standing beside Midnight in the snowy conditions (although a white-speckled dark-blue hull would look kinda cool…)

With a dark blue hull, Midnight is in great condition and comes with lots of sails, a road trailer, 3.5hp outboard engine, and a mostly-completed Measurement Certificate.

Monte sailed Tanzer 22s as a kid, J24s in his 20s, lived aboard a Bristol 35, raced on the Martin 30, but has been off the water for the past few years aside from a couple of races on a Martin 242 in 2022. His son Seamus, 17, completed 10 days on a tall ship in Haida Gwaii in 2022 with the SALTS program, and is fired up about racing. 

Monte’s starting to build a 4-5 person crew pool for events like Round Bowen, Kits Invitational, and possibly the Canadian’s at Cowichan Bay, so he’s looking for experienced crew who like to have fun. Contact him at 778-898-0310 to have a chat.


And not to worry, folks: Micah still plans on racing 242's a lot in the future with Michael Clements and Team on Too Wicked.

Welcome to the Regional Fleet, Monte, and enjoy your 242!
