Pleased to report that we found Vortex a good home!! Fair winds to the new owner!!
We spent many happy hours on Commencement Bay and in the San Juan Islands sailing this sweet little racer and day-cruiser. In 2003 we rigged it for reefing, which allowed us to sail in a wider range of conditions. It has been trailered in our backyard since 2006. The sale package includes a 2014 King Trailer in impeccable condition. The realities of aging force us to pass it on.
Vortex is basically in sound condition. After some tender, loving care, it should be good to go.
