This is a good deal for anyone stoked to get into beercan racing in the
Southbay. Best beercan races on the bay on Tuesday nights! If I can make it
I'll be your crew!
When Russell bought this boat it had a good hull and a decent sail
inventory. I'm sure it needs some TLC now, but this could be a great boat
if you want boat ownership a try,
Cheers,
Anna
