Laser 28 Wanted

I've gone back and forth with the owner on the New Buffalo boat but the cost of travel, transport and updating  make it cost prohibitive for me.  There is definitely an appeal to a fresh water only, never race stressed boat though.

	ah yes Simon is correct. Hull 243 is the last so that's 144 boats built.

	All numbers, sail and hull, start at 100, so 242 would have been the 143rd boat built, but it would still show 242 in the serial number marked on the starboard side of its transom. Everyone carries sail numbers that correspond to the number marked on the hull. Simon Colibri 224

	If sail number 100 was hull number 1 than sail number 101 was hull 2. So sail 242 was hull 143. Right?

	The hull number is located on the starboard side of the transom. It's the last three digits I believe. Hull #1 was listed as 100 and as Frank states, there were 143 boats so #243 is the last.

	We know of a boat for sail in Vancouver, BC (West Coast). I am familiar with that boat and can relate that it is in excellent condition with full suit of race able sales, though not new. It is hull #242 so it is is actually the 142nd boat built out of 143. All new hi-tech running rigging, etc, and interior is in great shape. Owner wants a larger boat for wife and family. If interested I can put you in touch with owner. No trailer with this one, but everything else is good. Not sure the price, but guessing around $22,000.

On cradle which owner has transported on flatbed trailer (not included). Owner believes it's hull #72. It's sail #171. Owner believes that sail #s began at 100 for hull #1. Asking $18.5K US.
