<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I joined this listserve in 2004, and have never posted anything, guess that makes me a lurker. I have collected great information and am proud to have owned the best bay boat out there, the Santana 22.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To be brief (I've rewritten this a bunch, this is hard!) I will put an add on craigslist this weekend, but wanted to tell it here first, and offer lower price than what I'll advertise:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hull #406</DIV>
<DIV>Location: Oyster Point Marina</DIV>
<DIV>Owned since 2/19/2004</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The keel fell of on the first Friday I owned it, turned turtle on me a mile north of treasure island. She stole my heart, she did. I didn't have insurance yet, so it took about a year to:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>in 2005,</DIV>
<DIV>replace the keel and bolts (receipt for bolts on file)</DIV>
<DIV>find a mast (anybody else miss Nelson's?)</DIV>
<DIV>replace all standing rigging, </DIV>
<DIV>replace all electrical; got a good stereo on it, and marine band 2 way radio (i was told not to say "CB radio")</DIV>
<DIV>the motor is a Nissan 5.5, an older grey one, one of the best 2 strokes out there. I have modified it to use an external tank.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, she's safe; rigging has plenty of life, the keel will not fall off (I guarantee) for 30 years. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's the rest:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The jib is a storm and beat. the main is a full batten and is in fair condition, 8 years old. </DIV>
<DIV>The brightwork in the cockpit is beat, but I sanded down the toe rails and stowed them, theyre ready for your brush, by my standard.</DIV>
<DIV>The hull was sanded down and painted in 2008 (reciept on file), so she's due. I cleaned the bottom well last summer. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If your still reading your looking for what I'm asking. I will advertise for $1800 (what I paid) and take $1500 if pressured enough. If you are a sailor, or a friend of someone on this list, the cost is $1200.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>i have current pictures if serious.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will stay on the list, and maybe one 'o these days, when the vessel of our dreams we launched 6 months ago, a baby girl named Lucy, is able to head up to the wind (right now she falls off something terrible), I'll see if any of you need some ballast for one of your races. I can haul a line and tie a clove hitch and bowline too.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope my Betty can go to good hands. </DIV>
