You can take a bargain-basement Etchells and make a really sweet day-sailer out of it.<br /><br />Just saying, is all.

After building a trailer, replacing rigging, and other projects, Carol Anne had less than $10k in her $1000 Etchells. <br /><br />And in the current market, you could probably get a really nice 45-foot world cruising yacht for the price of a new E33.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417115374524861438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018205427973265951.post-50453682686110491442010-08-01T16:09:52.079-07:002010-08-01T16:09:52.079-07:00Do items on a bucket list have to be affordable?

Turns out, according to the literature, this boat was inspired by the Etchells. One difference: A brand-new E-33 costs about twice what a brand-new Etchells does. And you can get a used Etchells for far less. And it's easy to convert an older Etchells into a Carol Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201269435839112134noreply@blogger.com
