Time to say goodbye to Black Swan
by John MacBeath Watkins I guess it's time to say goodbye to my sharpie, Black Swan Here's a picture my friend Tim Yeadon took of it: She has a rig from a racing Snipe, with an aluminum Proctor mast, an almost new mainsail and two jibs. The deck needs to be sanded, resealed, and painted, the interior should be repainted, and the running rigging should be inspected and possibly cleaned or replaced. She comes with a galvanized trailer. The boat is stable, fast, quick to windward, and far roomier than the Snipe the rig came from. I'm asking a very reasonable $2,500.
