Jim,

I don't think we have met and respectfully wish to completely disagree with your statements. Do you own an E27?

David,

An express hasn't gone for 12-14K in many ages especially one that has a brand new set of sails. I don't think you are out of the range asking 16.5K for your boat. I know several people that are currently looking for a good boat to race with the local fleet here in SF. I will send them your way as soon as I get a chance. It would help a lot if you could locate a used trailer to go along with the boat. It will be a lot easier to get it to a new home. That being said, when I bought Exocet in South Carolina it didn't hav ea trailer. I had it shipped to SF for $2700.

Just my two cents as a proud owner of one of these great boats and the Commodre of the fleet!
