Re: Brick has to go (Boston area)
I didn't hear from our favorite naval architect, so the Brick is
available. I had an expression of interest from one local guy, but I'm
not at my own computer to check and my brain is full of holes.If
anyone wants to start a bidding war.... Otherwise $300 and
aforementioned guy has first dibs. (I'm getting broker all the time!)
Is fairly stock, has nice Bohndell sail, has sailed well, even
upwind,will carry several adults, and you will not take the wrong
boat. off the beach by mistake. It is very stable and easy to sail,
suitable for a beginner. The only quirk I'm aware of is that it's
sensitive to fore and aft balance. Remember this if you keep getting
stuck in irons. It tacks very easily if fore and aft balance is done
right. (Slightly down by the bow, as I recall.)

Just wanted to mention in message subject that the Brick, if it
becomes available, will be in Boston area.
becomes available, will be in Boston area.
Sadly, there is no more place in my life (or Janet's) for the Brick.
I've offered it to Phil, but if he doesn't go for it I will want to sell
it quickly, so I want you to be thinking about it now. This is the one
that we bought from Matthew Long, and have had at a couple of
messabouts. Will sail several adults, or four restless boys having water
fights and me. It's very stable, and even goes upwind ok, which
probably has something to do with the nice Bohndell sail. The boat is in
pretty good shape. Currently in Waltham. Probably asking $300
