We are looking for a new partner for MOTORCYCLE IRENE, hull #37. My partner in the boat for the last 4 years has moved on to new persuits and would like to sell her half of the boat as soon as possible. There are several options:

A: Buy Kyla's half of the boat, valued at $12,000. A great deal for you because I don't use it very much and it is one of the most winning and sucessfull boats over the last 10 years. I am a professional sailor, sailmaker, and rigger and have outfitted the boat with the best in custom equipment. Just 3 years ago we completed a total refit of the deck so she now has gear in all the right places, no holes or leaks, and brand new nonskid all professionally painted. There are 2 new sets of sails, one set of ocean racing sails, built in auto pilot and GPS. As my partner you would have access to the best of sails and hardware at a fraction of normal cost. All I ask is that you join me so I don't have to give up my baby completly! I'll help you get up to speed, race the nationals and do whatever. I don't need to drive and you can take on whatever campaign you want on your own terms. The boat lives at Richmond YC and 1/2 insurance and storage for a year will cost you about $1000. GREAT deal, better than owning your own boat, don't miss it. Start out by sailing the Three Bridge Fiasco with me in 2 weeks.

B:Charter the boat for the year $6000. Get all of the above for 1 year. Includes you using my brand new set of sails all you want ($6000 right there). Maybe you are wanting to buy a boat? Do this and get the best jump start possible in the fleet. I will include a couple days coaching and will sail the national championships with you. See how its done right and build a talented crew before you go off on your own.

C: You Buy The Boat: $24,000.

Boat includes: 2 sets championship caliber sails, one brand new. Many other sails, custom for shorthanded and ocean racing. Deck layout perfect for full crewed bouy racing or shorthanded ocean racing- very well thought out. Built in integrated autopilot and GPS system for singlehanded racing. Deck rebuild completed 3 years ago- about $10,000 worth of work. Makes her good to go for another 20 years. trailer, motor, saftey equipment, and all the usual extra parts and necessary equipment. Epoxy botom lovingly wetsanded to perfect finish.

Short list of accomplishments in last 10 years: 2-National championships One season championship 4-5 midwinter championships 2 NOOD regatta wins Every One design regatta won at one point or another. First overall 2 handed Lightship race. First overall doublehanded Farallones race First overall singlehanded Farallones race Only beaten in downwind Delta Ditch Run by another e-27 once in about 8 races.

I have been sailing this boat for 11 years and hope to for many more. She is a racing machine, but I really have spent alot of time lately by throwing the cusions in and going cruising with friends and family. It is a great boat that I hope to be involved in for many years to come. Please join the team and be part of this boat's great history. Thanks, Will Paxton [email protected]
